There is a new phenomenon in the Benelux that presents itself around as innovative. This obsolete training model From North America presents itself in a game form and presents itself with much tam-tam. But to say it is innovative?
The company – with the name of a bird of prey – claims to be a progressive leading organization in the development and implementation of practical training programs for the business market. It claims it is about learning by experience. They refer to a list of big companies and Governments who probably have used this training model.
The first acquaintance was a free training offer about authenticity. A concept that did not returned.
It is a game of which you might think it is fun as it is presented in a new form, a game. At first sight not an unpleasant game, were it not that it is a management tool to only maximize profit. The goal is not about the experience, but about how to win. After all, they stress the importance of the fact to end with the most gold at any cost.
Now that that most are fed up with this top-down or bottom-up pyramid structure for decades already, they drop this obsolete idea once more in the form of a game. The greed and oppression is a repetition of history where everyone has had enough of, but what is in this model cheerfully presented as a new management tool.
The training started with a long list of instructions which were orally explained during many minutes. That surprised me because it is known that people first take unto themselves kinesiologically, next visually and then orally. Soon it was noticed that the attendees became stirred up with many neurotic behavior to act excited and comfortable to this game. A game with names like desert, rattle or promise. This reminded me after a couple of minutes to the movie “Die Welle” or “The Third Wave”. The game is played as a group against other groups. Before you start, they pressure on time and to pursuit the goal. A typical Anglo-Saxon model what disrupts the world as we now know off.
The game mentions it is about cooperation, but it is the strongest and most convincing person who determines and the other members follow. The latest keep silent due to time pressure, lack of value etc… It is not about individual knowledge and equal participation, but about Group Demand. Inner knowledge is than subject to Group Demand. In this game, you scrupulously pursuit the goal and take risky decisions. History has shown that such decisions often lead to bankruptcy of a company, because decisions are not made with common sense, but due to currents fads and fancies of public opinion. In the game you can use the recurring weather forecasts, while we now life in a time where we no longer can rely on such data. This game is pure about short-term profit, without taking into account individuals or the sustainable society.
Learning by experience is only superficially present. Everybody can mention learning aspects when one asks for it. Training persons in learning by experience is a process associated with deep open questions, which are built up in a certain way, whereby persons are confronted to (painful) internal bottlenecks that need to be solved.
CEO’s who use this alongside other similar models can indoctrinate their employees to show wishful behavior. The naïve employee believes in it. Such models are for the unconscious “sleeping” man, who continues to repeat history. It turns people into a slave of the model, and not in a self-thinking and self-steering individual. Independent people are inwardly conscious and skilled employees who represent the interests of the company in conjunction with a sustainable society. This is not to the liking of the company or government as their personal role is to be questioned and this they cannot handle.
This game turns people into robots – a Barbie or Ken – and let them think that this game and their actions are progressive. Overall, an expensive method to give employees a new illusion and turn them into a willing slave. It has nothing to do with inner learning and certainly not with authenticity.
Such models only contribute to involution. It keeps humankind in a straitjacket.
