When trying to unlock growth and impact, are you challenged because

People are like deer in headlights; unable to maintain focus, make decisions or be productive when faced with ambiguity or uncertainty at work.

Crucial decisions are being avoided because people don’t have all the information they want.

Some people are blocking opportunities, slowing down progress, and holding back the rest of the team.

You need innovative solutions to respond to challenges and people are stuck in old ways of thinking.

Progress is slow because people are overwhelmed by the volume and complexity of work.

People are focused on the obstacles and limitations instead of exploring other perspectives that could lead to new possibilities.

People give up too easily and are unwilling to take risks or try new things because they have a hard time dealing with failure and setbacks.

Are you afraid your people …

Won’t keep up with the required pace of change.

Will not speak up, lacking confidence in their ability to respond to uncertainty.

Will make costly mistakes, miss opportunities, and experience low morale when faced with the unknown or ambiguous.

Will need you to provide more guidance or make decisions before they take action.

Are not working together because they’re too worried about the consequences of the unknown.

Are stifling their creativity by clinging to the familiar and trying to control the uncontrollable.

Where are your people now?

Queensland University of Technology research suggests 90% of people in the workplace do not have a clear tolerance for ambiguity. This presents a massive opportunity to unlock latent growth and impact.

The 10% that do, experience less stress, a greater sense of well-being, and an ability to be more decisive, which enables them to navigate a way forward despite unknowns.

Ambiguity Apocalypse is a game that will help your people tackle ambiguity head-on in a safe and supportive environment that challenges their critical thinking and allows them to develop skills and confidence through immersive gameplay.

What do people say

We were hearing from our leaders about how they were struggling to work through and help their teams cope with constant change and uncertainty. Our Leadership Team participated in the Embrace the Unknown Program because it seemed perfectly designed to build understanding, reflection and capability in managing and thriving in uncertainty and complexity. The program is evidence-based and the IAm assessment provided people with information about their strengths and areas for focus in leading through uncertainty. The Ambiguity Apocalypse game was a highly engaging and fun way to connect the learning to action and have fun with each other.

Susanne and Samantha were highly organised, engaging and professional. They paced the workshop with a lot of activities, group interactions and fun. I think the main outcome I have noticed is that people are using some of the concepts in daily communication and teams and individuals have embraced the activities designed to build the skills for leading in complexity. This is great because it is an acknowledgement that complexity and ambiguity are part of life and not to be feared and you can build personal and team skills to work through them.

It’s a fun and light hearted way to examine individual and team responses to ambiguity. It’s a great opportunity to put aside the hierarchy and see who thrives and leads in an abstract setting.

Ambiguity Apocalypse gets you to think about and play with ideas and concepts in a fun way. You’re not only becoming familiar with the concepts though also get to see them from a different angle. This can lead to some deep, experiential insights. Working in a group, learning a new ‘language’ to describe shared experiences, and the shared insights gained from the game is a great way to build team bonds and create a culture of understanding around ambiguity.

Apart from dying many deaths I thoroughly enjoyed myself and was surprised at how much I learnt and reflected on about myself.

Interestingly when I got up today I had a very productive work day planned.  Unfortunately within 30mins this plan had completely gone awry. After replanning the day I was initially grumpy but thought of your game and suddenly viewed it differently.. and bingo . Suddenly the day seemed positive again and I ended up achieving heaps more work than I had even planned plus a lot of other tasks.

So the ambiguity apocalypse has far reaching benefits!
