SIM 03 — STUDENT EDITION

Simulation 03 — The Gridlock Table (Student Edition) is a decision-making simulation that reveals why teams struggle to turn disagreement into action. Participants operate inside a structured system where authority is shared, incentives are not fully aligned, and decisions must be made under time pressure. What emerges is not conflict—but gridlock: repeated discussion, delayed decisions, and lack of closure.

Designed for workshops, classrooms, and leadership training, this simulation focuses on experience over theory. Participants quickly see that decision failure is not a communication issue—it is structural. The Student Edition includes the full simulation system (roles, proposals, event triggers, decision framework, and debrief guide) in a format that is easy to facilitate and immediately deploy.

Ideal for those introducing systems thinking and team decision-making concepts, this version provides a clear entry point into how real-world organizations get stuck—and why more discussion alone does not solve it.
