A Simu-Real can be complemented by the use of work-outs to get rid of unnecessary work from the system and increase employee responsibility for decision-making about their own work. This approach searches for symptoms and root causes, or embraces a cost-benefit analysis and value engineering.
Simu Real is a LGI developed by Don Klein. Simu-Real enables members of an organization to work together on a real organizational task so that they can see the whole organization in all its complexity, become aware of, and skilled in, dealing with organizational dynamics, and determine what, if anything, needs to be changed. The method is used to help organizations explore differences, solve complex problems, redesign work processes, agree goals and develop plans for realizing them. The Simu-Real event takes place in a large room which, when the participants arrive, becomes a microcosm of the organization in action. The departments or other organizational units are located in different parts of the room according to their place in the actual organization. This is the ‘Simu’ part of Simu-Real. The ‘Real’ part is the task or project that the organization will undertake. The task is conceived by a planning committee, whose members are drawn from the organizational units. The committee prepares all aspects of the Simu-Real event including the room layout and the decision making process.
Simu-Real is a method that uses simulation to help an organization become more visible to itself. It enables key members of organizations to work together on tasks and issues while at the same time helping them to become more aware of and skilled in dealing with organizational dynamics. Consisting of action periods followed by analysis sessions, the method is used to help clients systems explore differences, solve complex problems, work on redesign, determine goals and priorities, and engage in future planning.
