Who Really Decides?

One board decision and one week of calls and messages. The organisation chart shows who should decide. Your task is to find out who really does.

The case

AB Hailogix makes building materials. Its Tiles Unit employs 120 people and has lost money for three years. Management recommends closing it, and the board meets on Friday.

During the week, calls and messages come in one at a time. After each one, tap the card of the person who now really holds the decision. You score points for each correct reading. Every call or message that bypasses the formal chart adds a red line to the wall.

You have twenty-five seconds for each message.

Workshop version

I built a workshop version for a facilitator and a group of six to forty people. It runs for about forty minutes on a big screen.
