CAPACITY BUILDING · RUN BY YOU

Skill-building, problem-solving & systems thinking

Then they start talking about yours.

THE PROBLEM

Sometimes people get blamed
when the process is the culprit.

Your team already knows which handoff is broken and which meeting wastes the morning. This game moves the conversation from who did it to what needs to change.

Shared language for what’s going wrong
After an hour naming what went wrong in the case, the team can name what’s going wrong in their own day-to-day.
Practice looking at systems, not people
The case is built so the suspects are processes. Blame lands on a workflow, which is where it’s useful.
Opens the conversation that matters
Run it at the front of a planning day or an offsite. The team arrives at the harder conversation already warm and already talking.

HOW IT WORKS

A team activity.
A real investigation.

01 — THE CASE
Meet the victim
A high performer goes quiet — her status light still green. Something happened, and someone knows more than they're saying.
02 — THE SUSPECTS
Follow the evidence
Four systems on trial — not people. Processes, policies, communication gaps. Each had proximity. Each had motive.
03 — THE DEBATE
Argue your case
Your team debates, votes, and challenges each other. The conversation no engagement survey ever started.
04 — THE VERDICT
Uncover the truth
The sealed verdict names what drove her out: the system failure that cost the org a great employee. The lesson sticks because your team found it.

FROM THE FIRST TEAM WHO RAN IT
We used it as an energizer to open a deeper conversation. It helped us focus on systems.
LAKYTHIA FERBY-WEIGEL · HUMAN RESOURCE DIRECTOR
WHY IT WORKS

The safest way to talk about your team
is to talk about someone else’s.

That is the whole reason the case is fictional. Nobody in the room built the broken process and nobody is the reason it happened, so naming it costs them nothing. People say what they actually think, and they say it in front of each other.

Then the last stretch turns the question around: does any of this happen here?
