Activity Summary

This study introduced systems thinking to develop collaborative leadership in high school students through a one-day workshop. Combining theory and a game-based learning approach, the adapted Soda Game simulation highlighted supply chain dynamics and the importance of collaboration. Results showed a 30% reduction in operational costs between rounds, demonstrating improved decision-making and teamwork. Discussions emphasized the practical application of systems thinking in leadership and suggested enhancing future workshops with greater scenario complexity and reflective activities.



Target

Increasing high school students' understanding of systems thinking to form collaborative and adaptive leadership characters. Facilitate students to develop decision-making, communication and collaboration skills through Soda Game simulations. Identifying the impact of workshops on increasing student competence in working together and solving problems systematically.
