Module 4 – SIMSOC
April 18
750 Fairview Drive
8 a.m. – 5 p.m.
SIMSOC, the simulation, was developed by William Gamson at the University of Michigan in the 1970's. It has been adapted here to create a realistic understanding of the dynamics at work in organizations by removing the participants from their own organizations and putting them in artificial ones. The simulation ceases to be artificial within the first few minutes as participants begin to learn the workings of their 'society' and the roles they have been given.
What emerge are different communication styles, individuals coming from different power places and constant change. Decision-making and problem solving have intended and unintended consequences and participants keep an ongoing diary in order to compare the simulation to the realities in their own work setting.
• Participants will explore organizational dynamics through simulation including problem-solving, decision-making, leadership, communication and change;
• Participants will relate the specific observations from their own SIMSOC experience and that of others in the simulation, plus that of the observers, to their own work situation.
