No one is an island within any organization – we’re all customers and suppliers of each other. People often struggle to see past their own “job” and immediate needs to their vital role within a greater whole. When this attitude spreads, the symptoms are obvious: distrust, self-serving behavior, and broken commitments.
Kingdoms of India delivers a perception-shattering experience that creates vision for a truly borderless department/ organization.
The Situation: 600 - 750 AD
You are a king/queen of one the great imperial dynasties of India. You have committed your people for providing them with the essentials – food, clothing and money. It’s your duty to fulfill your commitments year after year.
If you fail your people may revolt against and take up the arms. So you are forced to attack other kingdoms to feed your people. Your allies may help you. It all depends on how you collaborate, influence and build diplomatic relations.
Apart from fulfilling your commitments – somewhere in the corner of your heart lies a grand vision of ‘Akhand Bharat’ (United India). So there you are caught between a lofty vision and conflicting needs in the world of power, politics, greed, supremacy and war and where people live only by one rule – an eye for an eye.
Will you be able to fulfill your commitments ? If not, will you go for the war? If yes, what will happen to vision of United India? What if other kingdoms attack you? Will you retaliate?
