Game Based Learning

Our serious game transforms what can be dry and intimidating learning into a fun and engaging format. We simulate a real-world business context so that you can make decisions in a risk-free environment.

The game will give you targeted feedback in real time. We utilise current frameworks, case studies and business methodologies for you to draw on to improve your knowledge and skills.

Check out our blogs if you’d like to understand more about how learning in this format works.

Engaging & fun gameplay

Personalised feedback

Measurable results

Progressive learning

Location and Time Agnostic

Adaptable learning for a remote or hybrid workplace. Online, autonomous learning with support and the option of virtual facilitated group discussions.

The cohort learns together but retains autonomy on when they want to learn within a window, requiring approx. 1 hour a week from the players through the program.

Blend autonomous level play with social connections and discussion through optional coaching, workshops, discussion forums.

Perfect for hybrid teams – the virtual cohort can learn from the office, home or a combination and have the same consistent high-quality experience regardless. The program reduces your delivery risk as it does not need to be adjusted to accommodate changes in ways of working across regions or preferences of individual staff.

Autonomous

Learn anywhere

Social connection

Cohort experience

Easy for Learning & Development Teams

This program is efficient and automated, requiring minimal time from L&D to deploy. You nominate the participants and then receive progress reports throughout the program.

We will create pre-release communications, log-ins, onboarding and tips, nudge your participants to complete their learning over the program and celebrate highlights along the way and keep the energy up. We will remind players individually where they are up to against the cohort goals, and provide regular reports on completion and progress by team, region or department.

All of this can be customised to dovetail in to the broader learning goals of your organisation.

Minimal time

Customisable

Unmatched Holistic Professional Development

The real business landscape isn’t simple – it’s not enough to be functionally knowledgeable.

Personal Effectiveness

Manage priorities, energy, relationships, wellbeing and more.

Business Ecosystem

Build new pathways connecting strategy, operations, finance, legal and the external environment.

Role Based Disciplines

A 360° view of functional silos within 9 different departments to deliver a well-rounded view, and the capacity to understand not just what they do, but how they succeed.
