Exclusive In-Person Event:

Experience the Flying Starship Simulation

The Flying Starship Simulation offers a hands-on experience that contrasts a command-and-control leadership style with the dynamics of a high-performing organization—all within a few hours.

Participants become "employees" of the fictional Flying Starship Company and dive into the task of producing paper origami Starships in a traditional assembly line setting. Following the initial production run, the socio-technical and economic outcomes are analyzed, often revealing surprising results. Cutters and Folders clash, Painters express frustration, and everyone points fingers at the tools provided.

In the second phase, employees take control of managing their own work. This shift leads to remarkable changes: increased production, fewer rejects, higher earnings, and dramatic improvements in quality. As initial anxiety gives way to deep engagement, the company hums with energy and enthusiasm.
