Prerequisite knowledge and skills
Planned learning activities and teaching methods
The course is preceded by an introductory session in the auditorium but takes place mainly in the form of a seminar: from Friday lunchtime to Saturday evening.
During the introductory session, students receive a short theorical course relative to groups, organization and conduct of change. This session also provides information about the future seminar.
During the seminar, students are divided into groups of 4-6 people supervised by a professional psychosocial consultant. The same mission is assigned at each group: the conquest of a planet, a strategy game software that presents many analogies with the operation of a company (strategies's definition and declination in operational objectives, human resource's management, supply chain's management, decision-making in uncertainty or crisis situation, etc.).
The same learning sequence is repeated 5 times during the seminar and complicated gradually: preparation and organization in a group, conducted simulation team, psycho-social and psycho-organizational debriefing managed by the psycho-social consultant, sequence of individual auto-reflexivite for the student with a methodology of "synopsis". The training sequence restarts with a collective reserarch for improvement and the definition of the improved organization.
During the same weekend, students receive a session of discussion in small groups with Alumni of GxABT on all aspects of working life in a company or organization that they want to address.
A post-seminar debriefing session allows students to go deeper into the content and ask questions to the supervisors.

Assessment methods and criteria
Students, by groups of 4 members, prepare a support for an oral presentation in which they detail the learning that they believe have made in a matter of teamwork, organization and driving change. It's the "receptive" ability of the student which is assessed and its behaviour in situ, in order to avoid any bias of "conformity" or "social desirability".
In addidtion, the presentation includes a part of evaluation and critical analysis of the proposed pedagogical device which is improved by these remarks.
An oral exam will be organized for each group.
