Learning by playing

Learning through game play is a structured and interactive training process in which all participants are equally engaged and involved.  The fundamental principle  is learning by doing, practicing. The fact is that learning through game play ensures over 75% higher results compared to reading instructions, attending lectures, or watching video presentations.  While participants may feel emotionally at ease or even slightly entertained during the training, learning through game play fundamentally requires effort and imposes a  intellectual load. In a short period of time, each participant must perceive, understand, react, concentrate, engage, etc.

The game includes tasks of varying levels of complexity, ranging from simple to intricate and complicated. According to the learning needs, it is possible to combine different tasks and topics within one session.

The training session for the business game "Corporate Culture and Ethics" takes place under the guidance and supervision of the trainer. Also known as the learning game leader or instructor.  By choice, session can be led  by one or two leaders.  Leading the game is akin to traditional corporate training but differs in methodological approach.  With the game license, learning game leader training is provided for free.
