In this activity session, small groups of participants each receive a different vignette that summarizes an organizational problem of considerable severity that emphasizes the actions of individuals or groups. Each vignette specifies the role the group is to assume within the scenario (e.g. consultants, organizational leadership, external or internal stakeholder). The activity calls for each group to develop and present a solution involving at least one symbol, one story, and one ritual (as conceptually presented in course readings) that might mobilize people to change their behavior in response to organizational needs described within the vignette.
