Simu Real
Simu Real is a LGI developed by Don Klein. Simu-Real enables members of an organisation to work together on a real organisational task so that they can see the whole organisation in all its complexity, become aware of, and skilled in, dealing with organisational dynamics, and determine what, if anything, needs to be changed. The method is used to help organisations explore differences, solve complex problems, redesign work processes, agree goals and develop plans for realising them. The Simu-Real event takes place in a large room which, when the participants arrive, becomes a microcosm of the organisation in action. The departments or other organisational units are located in different parts of the room according to their place in the actual organisation. This is the ‘Simu’ part of Simu-Real. The ‘Real’ part is the task or project that the organisation will undertake. The task is conceived by a planning committee, whose members are drawn from the organisational units. The committee prepares all aspects of the Simu-Real event including the room layout and the decision making process.
