Isivivane Game - conversations that build trust and meaning for positive change

In Open Source Economic Development, civic leaders need to learn new practices and tools to extend and enhance their ability to engage with each other and with information to create new knowledge. New knowledge is what is generated from experience and applied to the industry of solving problems.

The Isivivane Game - Place Your Stone Upon the Pile - is one such practice. It creates immediate opportunities for leaders in government, business, and academia to build richer realities to engage in transformative action.

The game architects self constructed pathways that build new capacities for people to work together to be more creative, strengthen communications, and accelerate collaboration.

Practices introduce skills and tools people can rely on as they begin to interact in multidimensional ways. Growing comfortable in environments representing more than one reality is an aid to problem solving in the complex social, economic, and environmental situations affecting industry today. This is modern skills training.

By creating regular opportunities for experimental experiences in complexity - outside of daily work - organizations cultivate higher levels of performance and personal satisfaction, and stronger capabilties in individual decision making for wiser organizations.

From co-creator Steve Banhegyi:

"These are the cards with which the game is played - the questions on the cards are used to create knowledge by the participants - all centering around the central theme or 'organising principle' or 'strange attractor' the answer to the question : "what do we want?"
