Design tomorrow's ideal organisation together! How do you combine speed and stability in one organisation? The Dual Operating System Design Game helps teams and organisations to playfully understand and shape the interplay between System Fast (innovate and accelerate) and System Slow (steer and secure). With cards full of recognisable activities and dilemmas, you design step by step how your organisation can work smartly and flexibly, without losing grip and structure. The game encourages discussion, cooperation and action.

The Dual Operating system is a concept originally developed by John Kotter and later adopted and adapted by several frameworks, including Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe). The idea behind the dual operating system is that organisations need both to be able to continue operating in their traditional, hierarchical structures (for stability and efficiency) and to be flexible to innovate and adapt quickly to change.

What do you learn?

• Understanding the Dual Operating Model of Kotter and SAFe
• Recognising the dynamics between fast and slow systems
• Making conscious choices in roles, tasks and control
• Creating an organisation that can both accelerate and sustain

Why this game?
Change does not succeed only by making plans. You have to experience, design and make choices together. This game makes it not only more fun, but above all more concrete to really build a future-proof organisation.
