CHANGE THE GAME

WHY:

A mediator of change on the edge

Change the Game aims to be a loudspeaker, an advocate, a great example, and a library for the people and businesses that help create a second generation of Scandinavian leadership.

There is, indeed, a need to challenge the often-authoritarian top-down way of thinking and leading that has come to dominate businesses and organisations throughout noughties. This take on leadership – and the school of leadership that it exemplifies – turns people into things and organisations into machines – and it makes leadership a simple matter of using control and force.

Change the Game wants to challenge this way of thinking. Our organisational understanding is based on more than 30 years of experience with creating vibrant, dynamic, and productive people and businesses.

In addition to our tried and tested working methods, we draw on inspiration from great leadership thinkers such as Margaret Wheatley, Peter Drucker, and Dee Hock.
Change the Game wants to spearhead a humanistic, diverse, cultural, and action-oriented style of leadership. But above all, we want to investigate and uncover all aspects of what defines great leadership in the future – together with our trusted colleagues and friends.

Change the Game is as much a research laboratory as it is a strategy development centre for our clients. We want to set the cultural agenda in society and wish to give birth to projects and campaigns that are aimed at changing attitudes. You might say we’re a “Think and Do Tank”. In any case, we’re Change the Game.

OUR VIEW OF LIFE AND VALUES

Change the Game is an independent company, free from political and economic interests. But that doesn’t mean we’re not political. We are. We accept a client or task only when we can sit comfortably with that client or organization’s values, economics, and personality. Because it is important for us to be able to stand side by side with our clients. And this, of course, goes both ways.

Five things that mean everything to us at Change the Game:

Sustainability: To be economically, socially, and environmentally sustainable.

Cultural variety: To reflect the multicultural world that we live in both through the way we organize ourselves and how we work,

Inventiveness: To create value for private and public companies as well as NGOs by culling the best of practices from each of the sectors, which we are especially good at and believe is the key to the future’s successful organizations and companies.

Transparency: To be transparent to all within Change the Game and without.

Generosity: To be a generous workplace so that everyone who is in contact with Change the Game feels that they benefit from us.

Company Organization

Change the Game was established during the summer of 2010 and is organized as a private company (Aps).
