In collaboration, the Delft University of Technology and United Knowledge have developed a management game for students, standardizers-to-be and policy makers to get a feeling for what it means to standardize and the problems and dilemmas that typically occur during a standards' committee process. Participants 'learn by doing' and gain hands-on experience through role playing. The event takes a full day: roughly half a day for the role-playing and half a day to reflect on what happened during the game and why. Three approaches are combined to help interpret the dynamics of the process. They are rooted in standards theory.
