- From Gameplay:
- Understand your role as a change agent: Keep in mind that your goal is to lead Spectrum Sunglass through a complex sustainability initiative by diagnosing challenges, managing resistance, and influencing key stakeholders strategically.
- Use the Prepare page wisely: Review the scenario overview, organizational chart, and foreground reading carefully. These resources provide essential context about the company, key employees, and the environment in which you’re driving change.
- Monitor your progress continuously: Keep an eye on the progress bar at the bottom of the screen. It shows critical metrics like Weeks Used, Critical Mass of adopters, Organizational Phase of Adoption, and your Credibility — all of which affect your ability to lead change successfully.
- Make informed, timely decisions: Navigate to the Decide tab to select your course of action. Thoughtfully sequence your strategies to build momentum and maintain credibility. Avoid poorly timed moves that can reduce your influence.
- Collaborate effectively in Team Play: Discuss strategies openly with your teammates, but remember only the Editor can submit decisions. The Editor role rotates, so stay engaged and communicate clearly to ensure cohesive decision-making.
- Leverage the simulation menu: Use the menu (three dots in the top-right corner) to access important information anytime — including your team members, current and upcoming scenarios, tutorial link, scenario progress, leaderboard (if enabled), and your Change Efficiency Ratio (CER).
- Prepare your system: Ensure you access the simulation via the recommended browsers (Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge) and complete the system check beforehand for smooth gameplay.
