Gamification in an unconventional method of learning that challenges the intellectual skills of
participants in a fun environment using business simulation. Board Game are ten times more
effective than lecture based learning as players while knowing the rules of the game make
business decisions using qualitative and quantitative information to resolve business challenges
within given resources and constraints. As a team, it helps the participants to think
collectively, evaluate and brainstorm real life business scenarios and create consensus to reach
to business decision.
The key ingredients of Simulation Board Game are as under:
Business Simulation: The biggest advantage of creating a simulation is customization of customer business model, constraints, challenges focused towards achieving the business objectives.
Simulations has the capacity to integrate business focus areas in bigger pictures ranging from business strategy and organizational objectives to minute details at workplace issues like conflicts, diversity and inclusion, ethical and behavioral challenges as well. Business simulation gives participants their own business realities in a gamified environment including their real life financials, products, customers, debtors, creditor, workplace challenges etc. which helps them understand perspective of other departments and gives a helicopter view of entire business which in real life is only available to senior management.
Business Decision: Every business decision has many variables associated with it like customer impact, employee motivation and engagement, financial impact etc. In real life, we cannot reliably ascertain the intensity, response and impact of associated variables on business as result of our decisions. These variables are incorporated in artificial intelligence in the form of an algorithm. Simulation Board Game manually creates business dashboards where participants in advance knows the relationship of variables with each other and their probable impact because of their decision. This helps them in making informed decisions and they can observe the impact of their decision on dashboards based on underlying algorithm.
Team Work: Board games are excellent team building exercises where team members openly differ with each other while making a business decision. Everyone remains involved and invested in the game due to a clear and measurable outcome of decisions taken by team especially due to a win and loose situation at the end of game. Poor decisions are directly reflected on dashboards in the form of loss of integrity, employee demotivation, loss of sales and profitability etc. Teams, in real life situation see and learn that lack of cohesion and poor decision are bringing them down which forces them to learn and improve the situation through improving quality of their decisions.
