How do Board Games or Simulations work?

Board Games or Simulations or Gamification is, applying the mechanics of games to nongame situations.

A simulation is a realistic imitation of a system in which players engage in a defined challenge, controlled by rules, interactivity, and feedback, that results in a quantifiable outcome. It engages people, motivates them to action and promotes learning that can be applied immediately to their Jobs or desired quantifiable outcomes by impacting their behaviors. Participants find what they need to apply in their jobs immediately; it’s not only knowing more, but what to do with that knowledge.

Participants receive immediate feedback that helps in team building, cooperation and competition. Common game elements such as Story, feedback and mystery capture learner’s attention and imagination evokes emotional response and impacts their behaviors and/ or decisions.

Board Games or Simulations are 4 times more effective than lecture based training especially if it is for a dry subject such as Finance for Non Finance for some.

After the wow factor has worn off, we help the ROI by following with participants on the learning’s from the Game, a defined path to outcomes are made, so that progress can be measured
