How can we initiate conversations about the desired culture and work attitude within our ministry?
When the Ministry of Infrastructure and Water Management (IenW) began implementing a new behavior program within the Information and Exploitation (IenE) department, it sought a powerful way to embed the new work behaviors. For conversation techniques that have a lasting impact, Frisse Blikken was the go-to partner. We assisted the ministry in this endeavor.
The IenE program centers around four core behaviors that guide the new way of working within the organization. The primary goal of the intervention facilitated by Frisse Blikken was to ensure employees continually discuss these core behaviors. The secondary goal was to strengthen their motivation to embrace these behaviors.
In close collaboration with IenE’s program developers, we created a game called “Cultuur in Kaart” (Culture insights). This card game serves as a discussion starter and takes 20 minutes for 4 to 6 players. In each round, players pitch solutions for various scenarios. Each player has a set of cards that either describe behaviors fully aligned with the new behavior program or roles within IenE. They use these cards to devise solutions for the scenarios. The game is filled with humor and energizes players, raising awareness about the power of a professional work attitude. Players experience how they can contribute to a positive and impactful conversation about behavior and culture in the most surprising combinations.
“Cultuur in Kaart” has been integrated into IenE’s change program. During the reflection, employees noted that it is a refreshing way to effectively discuss a challenging topic like ‘culture and behavior’. For the overall collaboration and results, the ministry rated us 4.5 out of 5.
