Edgework

Edgework is a simulation of dynamic relationships, conflicts, and trade-offs. These arise among participants placed in two organizations with different cultures working together on a shared task that will determine their mutual future. From this simulation, participants learn how they assimilate their identities as group members and how that affects their working relationships and their effective functioning. Participants experience fluid job boundaries while working amidst ambiguity, a range of different perspectives, and changing priorities. The exercise helps groups and organizations identify critical issues that can and will determine success or failure for the organization, the group and the individuals.
