Deloitte’s 2026 study of 1,000 change leaders found that 84% say employees handle transformation work on top of their existing workload, and 54% say no one at their company has the authority to slow or pause an initiative based on change capacity. Two-thirds say employees have left as a direct result of poorly managed change.

This game puts you in the seat where those decisions get made. The scenarios are illustrative, and the lesson is real: thoughtful sequencing usually delivers more than launching everything at once.
