I introduced a team within the Dutch central government to each other through play. I did this together with my partner Amsterdam Gamelab. The game immersed them in a simulation of a fictional organization, presented them with choices and dilemmas, and had them reflect together on work-related stress.
The team hadn't met each other live yet, yet they quickly began to work together harmoniously. You might think, therefore, that collaboration is always easy. But in this case, I attribute it to the sum of the individual qualities of all the players. This allowed them to delve into each other and be open about their own "operating manual."
And so I witnessed the workings of one of the five dimensions of the Inner Development Goals (IDG): the value of collaboration. IDG are qualities and capacities to make the world a wiser and more sustainable place. to create space. You can also use these at work. I apply them with teams to make them aware of their own wisdom.
This government team will explore which qualities they want to further develop; in this harmony. I'm already curious about what they'll come up with and how they'll move the team forward.
