A one-day team workshop

The Vonk Playbook Workshop

Five unwritten rules. One interactive team experience.

Digital change is rarely just about technology. It is about people with different priorities, assumptions and perspectives. It is about resistance, decisions, mistakes and the way teams work together when things do not go according to plan.

The workshop brings those challenges to life. Your team makes decisions under realistic pressure, meets other perspectives and applies what it learns to its own work.

The five rules

  1. Know your audience
  2. Use common sense
  3. Listen to the loudest critic
  4. Own your mistakes
  5. Make others shine

The five rules from The Vonk Playbook: Five unwritten rules for the people side of digital change.

Experience the rules. Don't just learn about them.

Participants step into a fictional digital transformation project, such as an AI implementation. Each person takes on a role with different responsibilities, priorities and confidential information.

Through the simulation they receive unexpected updates, emails and messages. They share information, question assumptions, respond to criticism and make decisions together.

Nobody has the complete picture.

The team experiences the challenges first. Together, we reflect on what happened, explore different perspectives and discover how the five unwritten rules might offer new ways of looking at the situation.

Less presenting. More experiencing, deciding and reflecting.

What your team takes away

  • A better understanding of different stakeholder perspectives.
  • Practical experience responding to resistance and criticism.
  • Greater awareness of assumptions and how they affect decisions.
  • Conversations about ownership, trust and recognition.
  • Concrete actions to apply to a current team challenge.

Better decisions start with exploring different perspectives.

No scores. No right answers.

Nobody is assessed. There are no scores, no right or wrong answers and no judgment. The five rules are perspectives for reflecting together, not criteria for measuring anyone.
