Change Management, Improvement Management. Make it fun!
Change management is essential for the survival of companies, but 70% of organizational change initiatives fail. The challenges often lie in the attitude and behavior of employees and managers, rather than in structural or technical aspects. Solarphc and DolEvents focus on addressing the underlying factors of change, such as culture, dynamics, engagement and resistance, to ensure successful change management.
Why is change complex?
Resistance to change arises from a variety of factors, including lack of awareness, fear, and lack of visible support or commitment. Overcoming resistance requires addressing these factors, managing rumor or misinformation, and engaging employees effectively.
Approach to Change:
There are two approaches to change: the traditional planned change (left-hand approach) and the more popular continuous change (right-hand approach). The traditional approach focuses on analyzing, designing and implementing change, while the continuous approach emphasizes continuous development and dialogue to create meaning and engagement.
Upstream and Undercurrent:
In the “upper stream” clear change plans and responsibilities are established, while the “undercurrent” focuses on the less visible aspects of change, such as culture, dynamics, involvement and resistance. Finding a balance between the two is essential for the successful and lasting implementation of change.
Vision on change management:
We emphasize relationship building, focusing on common interests and reading the situation to understand and manage emotions. They emphasize the importance of flexibility, setting clear goals, creating urgency, gaining commitment and identifying influential people within the organization.
Roles in the change process:
DOL Events identifies several key roles in the change process, including the client (management), owner (managers), change manager, project team members and other stakeholders. They also introduce the role of undercurrent custodian or relationship broker to ensure stakeholder engagement and meet change-related needs.
ADKAR change management model:
The ADKAR model focuses on helping employees process and accept change. ADKAR stands for Awareness (raising awareness), Desire (desire), Knowledge (knowledge), Ability (skill) and Reinforcement (strengthening). We apply the ADKAR model in our engaging events.
Onboarding new Employees
Onboarding new employees nowadays is not as easy as it used to be. Because more and more staff work remote. How to get your new hire to feel at home and connecting fast within your organization? It is a serious question for which we have developed a gamified solution, that is flexible, fast and proven.
What is Gamified Employee Onboarding?
Gamified Employee onboarding is the process by which new employees are introduced to the social and performance aspects of their new job, in a gamified way. Gamified onboarding gets new hires adjusted more quickly, increasing productivity and job satisfaction, and reducing turnover.
This process includes two steps.
Orientation, getting to know attitudes, company culture and values, employee expectations.
Integration, getting to know the team members, department, where to find information and key people within the organization.
Challenges with new hires?
In today’s world the new hire doesn’t see and meet other team members face to face, therefore it is important to get the new employee fast from their isolated island. New hires are in general a bit shy and calling to introduce yourself is time consuming and intimidating. An email to introduce yourself is far away from a handshake and eye contact. Reading the company manual, on values and attitude is boring.
But to complete tasks and get points for answers through a game sound like fun. And it is! Learn company knowledge and grow into a full-fledged team player through a one day game is the fastest and most successful way to onboard new hires. The game removes shyness, because there is an excuse to interrupt team members. The game forces creativity, opens up minds and drives the new hire to interact because points must be scored.
How does gamified onboarding work?
Digital onboarding of new employees is a day long event, that can be done alone or in a group. We recommend onboarding in small groups. In that case the new hires start meeting each other online and must perform assignments together creating friendships. In case a single new hire is onboarded, more time is given to the orientation phase on topic provide he assignments includes meeting with HR, through video conferencing tools.
Orientation
Through questions, tasks, photo and video assignments the new staff member learns about the company. After the orientation that takes about 2 hours, time for lunch. A digital lunch with your new team. During lunch assignments help the conversation and effectiveness of the meeting. Request a demo game to get a feel for how we do this.
Integration
After lunch it is time for integration. The new employee meets their new direct team members through 7 minutes interviews. These interviews are all preprogrammed using NLP techniques. Together simple tasks and assignments must be completed, creating a team building effort from the beginning. With the client we decide on the number of interviews.
Proven success
Together with DolEvents we have provided a number of onboarding projects in the Netherlands and all have been very successful. Clients come back ordering more onboarding events for different department.
All our online team building events are serious games, focusing on onboarding, change management, cyber security and plastic awareness.

The applicant starts the gamified interview at a certain time and after 30 minutes the interactive interview stops and tells the applicant to connect through (zoom/mstreams) for the face to face interview.
At the end of each day you receive an overview report of all the interviewees and through a scoring system that is created with the client a ranking is provided.

E propulsion
SolarPHC was asked to join the e-propulsion project in Spain to make electric propulsion more attainable for the common boat owner.
The first prototype is in operation and we hope to keep you up to date on the development of this solution.
Solar Chill
During the night the Smart Panel Solution goes into cooling mode and chills the supermarket cooling fluid by using radiative cooling and blocking the earth heat radiation.
The earth gives back the heat it collected during the day, and sends the heat back into space. This process is called radiative cooling. It is a natural every night recurring phenomenon. If the earth would not radiate heat during the night, we would be freezing.
Compare it with a heard fire in a freezing dark room. The room temperature is freezing but near the heard fire it is acceptable. The heard fire is the earth and the room the outer space.
Heat always goes from a hot location to a cooler location, the outer sky being the coldest -60 degrees, ( you may recall when flying) all heat radiates to the sky. Not only the earth but everything radiates heat to the sky. The Smart Panel chills the cooling fluids by exposing it to the night sky and blocking the earth heat radiation. Imagine being close to the heard fire one side is warm the other side is cold. This is why crops may freeze on one side, the side facing the sky, although the ambient temperature is above zero degrees.
Now the Smart Panel Solution puts a wall between you and the fire. No direct heat from the fire heats you up and you freeze. The ceiling, the clouds, reflect some earth heat warmth back to you, reducing the freeze a little.
