AWAKA® explores assumptions and blind spots that individuals carry with them when initially encountering unfamiliar cultures. AWAKA enables participants to experience issues encountered in working across cultural boundaries. The Richlanders, who are economically and technologically superior, plan a trip to aid the AWAKANS with a project on which they are working. The two cultures are very different, providing opportunity to experience miscommunication and conflict which naturally occurs when individuals work across cultural boundaries.

EdgeWork®, set in the future, has participants assume managerial positions in two corporations that have very different organizational cultures, but are also partners in supplying an innovative technology to a specific industry. One company is a small research and development organization driven by humanitarian concerns and the desire to advance science, while the other is a large profit-driven business operation. EdgeWork goes beyond individual and role-level tensions and conflicts, generating these issues on a group level. Groups are drawn to work on key challenges related to more effective ways of talking, thinking, decision making, and taking action together. EdgeWork is a simulation of dynamic relationships, trade-offs, and conflicts that naturally occur whenever people work together in an organization.
