The 1st IMCET Behavioural Science Executive Education Workshop
About the Workshop
The Investment Migration Council is pleased to present The 1st IMCET Behavioural Science Executive Education Workshop.
The psychosocial training session is a 3-part hands-on & part seminar experience derived from game theory developed by economists, psychologists, sociologists and mathematicians. The sessions are split over 2 days, between the 11th & 12th of December 2023, and a follow-up session will be held online 2 weeks after.
During the workshop, participants will engage in an Analog Simulation that challenges them to profitably manage the socioemotional dynamics of a series of coordination activities that enables them to learn a great deal about both their own and other group members’ relational styles.
Through analog simulation, participants have the opportunity to experience with emotional vividness the crucial dilemmas that characterize their own interactions with others. Dilemmas such as: trusting or not trusting, being open or closed to change, holding grudges or forgiving, cooperating or competing, winning or excelling, attacking or defending, building or sharing, simplifying or aggregating, being proactive or wait-and-see, being optimistic or realistic, being a visionary or centered in the present, being selective in relationships or inspired in relationships.
After the simulation, fundamental principles for reenergizing one’s professional well-being and mitigating and defusing regressive traps are disclosed in an engaging and entertaining manner. Principles such as adopting a forward-looking rather than “present biased,” enterprising rather than bystander, mature rather than unconscious, contributive rather than defensive, biased positive rather than neutral, grateful rather than self-referential, conciliatory rather than retaliatory, and responsible rather than reactive attitude.

Introduction to the key concepts of “game theory” and their power in explaining crucial elements of social and organizational interactions. Participants will be asked to take part in some live demonstrations of the key concepts discussed to make them more vivid. The first part of the morning session will end with a go-around where participants will get a chance to discuss the particular challenges they face and a creative board will be constructed with the feedback to highlight key/ common areas of interest.
Participants are split into two groups where they will play X number (TBA) of rounds of a modified version of the “Prisoner’s dilemma” against the other team. This simulation mimics a number of real-life interactions where there are monetary rewards and punishments for our behavior and interactions with others. During this simulation, participants will face and make critical social choices with their teammates and they will have to try to balance issues like: cooperation, mediation, competition, and trust while trying to maximize one’s payoff from the game. This part of the session is very animated as participants will get a chance to see and examine their own and others intergroup dynamics in a very raw and real fashion.
Shared exploration of the elements that created or destroyed value and well-being of the teams and individuals during the crucial phases of the simulation. Discussion of the common pitfalls they fell prey to in their interactions within their group and in their interactions with the other group.
Integration of the tools and attitudes for ongoing implementation of the simple and fundamental principles of “Professional Evolution”. Discussion of the feedback provided by participants via the creative board.
