The Unwinnable Game

About this Meetup:

Join us for a FREE dynamic in-person Meetup designed to spark curiosity and initiate conversations around the complexities of agile transformations. We will be playing The Unwinnable Game, billed as a psychologically unsafe game of failing agile transformations (don’t worry this will be a safe place for learning and fun!). This engaging Scrumban style party game offers a unique opportunity to explore the human dynamics and leadership challenges that often fly under the radar in organisational change initiatives.

Inspired by the thought provoking article by John Cutler on Winnable and Winnable Games, game creator Carl Rogers has taken the metaphor a literal step further. Whether you’re an Agile Practitioner, organisational leader, or simply interested in the nuances of change management, you’ll walk away with fresh perspectives, thought-provoking questions, and valuable new connections. It’s a brief yet impactful experience that will leave you pondering long after you leave.
