Hi and welcome to play the Mental Models Game.
My name is Ville Keränen, and I am one of the inventors of the game, and it’s main developer
at the moment. My mission is to help people
to think and act different, better together.

Why play the Mental Models Game?
© www.mentalmodelsgame.com / [email protected] / www.banana.fi / 13.9.2016
The purpose of the Mental Models Game is to understand each other
better.When we understand each other
better, we can work together better, to have more fun and pleasant life, and also to be more productive & creative
together.

But what are the Mental Models?
© www.mentalmodelsgame.com / [email protected] / www.banana.fi / 13.9.2016
I like to quote Peter Senge and what he says in his pioneering book
The Fifth Discipline:“Mental models are deeply held
internal images of how the world works, images that limit us to familiar
ways of thinking and acting. Very often, we are not consciously
aware of our mental models or the effects they have on our behaviour.”

Mental models are like the lenses through which we see the world.
They affect us a lot, many times unconsciously.
They both support and limit us in our daily life.
They are built over time, and can take a long time to transform.
My mental model is that it is possible to become aware of mental
models and also to change them.

The idea of the game is to become aware of our own mental models, and
talk about them with one another.As a result we can have more fun: be more creative and productive
together.There are now right or wrong
answers to the questions in this game.

How to play the Mental Models Game?

Aim is to have a good dialogue and share your the mental models with others and learn about their mental
models.Winner is the one who learns most.Think of your results as prototypes
that are tools for learning something new.
You will learn the game by playing it.

What is my mental model of dialogue?
“Dialogue is simple. When one speaks, others listen.”
-Etienne CollignonDialogue starts when you speak
from you heart.
