The Speed of Trust
Simulation
An interactive learning experience
O UOTUCTOCMO EMSE S
Participants in FranklinCovey’s Speed of Trust Simulation will:
• Discover the compelling competitive advantages of trust
• Experience the impact of trust on speed and cost
• Identify the gaps in team performance
• Learn and apply the critical behaviors that establish and
grow trust
• Create action plans to establish, grow, extend and restore
trust with all stakeholders
What is lack of trust costing your team?
Trust is a critical component in team performance. In fact, distrust is the basis for all team conflict causing missed
deadlines and cost overruns. FranklinCovey’s Speed of Trust® Simulation is a one-day discovery learning board simulation
with additional components to measure trust and create action plans.
The Speed of Trust® Simulation uses traditional gaming elements – including a board, dice, and surprise events – to
create a fun and disarming approach to a serious business topic.
The Speed of Trust Simulation
The Simulation includes the following components:
• A discovery learning board simulation that builds the business case for trust, introduces trust behaviors, and allows
team practice
• A mapping and action planning session where teams examine their real world opportunities and issues; build a TrustO-Gram© they can immediately apply to build trust with all key stakeholders
• A Team Trust Index that identifies how team members perceive the overall team’s credibility and how the team
performs on the 13 behaviors common to high-trust organizations
How the Simulation Works
Participants are grouped in table teams of four. During the simulation, each team serves in the leadership role for an
important project that goes by the code name “Allegro.” The group is introduced to their team through profile cards. Their challenge is to get Allegro to market on time and on budget, while building a high-trust culture.
As learners are faced with scenarios and decisions, they must determine the decisions’ impacts on relationships with team
members and stakeholders, on the project timeline, and on the budget.
A key takeaway during the Simulation is that trust always impacts two quantifiable outcomes: Speed and Cost. Cost is
not only measured in financial terms but also in terms of personal energy and resource usage. The formula introduced
is that as trust increases, speed increases and cost decrease. Conversely, as trust decreases, speed decreases and cost
increases.
The simulation itself takes approximately 4.5 hours, and then the remainder of the day is spent in an engaging session to
connect the learning to the team’s real issues. Participants build a stakeholder map and identify gaps in their behaviors
and create new behavioral operating norms.
To conclude the session, teams and individuals create action plans, make implementation plans that include
accountability , and develop an agreed-upon timeline to re-measure trust. At the end of the day, participants leave with
an actionable plan to build a high credibility, highly engaged team.
Give your organization the tools and skills to lower costs and improve results through high trust.
