The Impact of Change Game Objectives
When people reflect on organisational change, they frequently think of large-scale transformations. However, change occurs daily and, regardless of its perceived ‘scale’, it always has an impact in some capacity. This simple exercise makes people aware of the impact of change and how they feel about it.

The Impact of Change Game Instructions
Ask the participants to fold their arms. Then ask them to fold their arms the other way around.
Wait in silence for a few moments before asking them to unfold their arms.
You can switch this training game around by asking delegates to stand on one leg, and then swap the leg they are using.
Explain that our brain is wired to complete actions in the most efficient way it knows. This is how your mind is able to process a mass of stimuli each day. When ‘change’ forces you to complete a task differently, even something as meaningless as folding your arms, it causes the brain discomfort. Thankfully, each of us can adapt to change. However, we must be mindful of its impact on us and others; regardless of how small the change may appear to be.
