The Gamified Business Leadership

The Gamified Business Leadership Program is the only one of its kind where participants learn through the unique pedagogy of playing board games. The games are selected or designed in a way that to do well; participants must use skills that form the learning objectives for the session.

The program covers skills that are highly relevant for managers at any stage of their careers. Managers generally have roles that require complex decision-making, strategic planning, and regular internal or external negotiations. Often the tasks are accomplished by a team that works closely under the supervision of such managers. The unique pedagogy of using board games ensures very high engagement levels during the program and excellent retention levels for concepts after the program.

The pedagogy requires the participants to first play a board game that is designed or selected in a way that to do well, participants must use skills that form the learning objectives for the session. The participant experiences from the game then form the basis for a discussion session which follows. In this session, the instructor helps the participants connect their experiences from the game to relevant management concepts. This experiential nature of the games ensures that participants retain the concepts for a long time.

The pedagogy is completely experiential in nature and uses board games that simulate complex management situations for the participants. The games are dynamic in nature and hence the situations that the participants face as a group are diverse. The games require careful planning, strategizing, and execution of planned strategies as well as quick thinking in dynamic situations. The usage of games ensures a high fun quotient for the participants, thereby boosting engagement and retention levels.

The program is suitable for middle and senior managers, preferably with 5-15 years of work experience in the organization. It is also relevant for business owners of small or medium enterprises.
