How to use it
Look for patterns in events, then examine structures and underlying assumptions to change the conditions that sustain recurrence.
A real-life example
When vans fail in turn, inspect maintenance cycles and dispatch policy as well as repairing the vans.
Try it in a game
Three delivery vans, four days of road conditions. Schedule maintenance and change dispatch policy so breakdowns stop moving from van to van. Two strategic challenges, with a review of actual consequences.
Play Will It Stop Again?After playing, ask yourself
Which move changed your later choices? If conditions changed, would the same approach still work? What evidence would you need to check before applying the relationships in this game to real life?
Games are simplified practice environments for exploring tools and when to use them. Completing a game does not demonstrate mastery and is not a personality or professional assessment.
