INNOVATIONS AND INSIGHTS
GAMIFICATION OF PROJECT MANAGEMENT TRAINING GAMIFICATION IS A SERIOUS BUSINESS. GAMIFIED SIMULATIONS ARE UPLIFTING PROJECT MANAGEMENT CAPABILITY AND MATURITY BY ENABLING PARTICIPANTS TO EXPERIENCE A PROJECT IN A CONTROLLED MICROCOSM.
Right now, across industry, app-based games are dripfeeding new concepts to workers in the nooks and crannies of their busy day jobs. Events like ‘failfest’ are de-fanging failure and encouraging growth mindsets by enabling lessons learned to be shared in a format more akin to an open-mic-night. And gamified simulations are revolutionising the way we teach project management. 16

We all know what bad training looks like: endless PowerPoint slides filled with walls of tiny text, process diagrams, documentation lists, and enough input-output charts to put anyone to sleep. For years, research has told us that this type of training leads to 5-10% knowledge retention by learners. Pointless. Training isn’t just about content curation, it’s as much about finding a delivery mechanism that makes that content memorable and useable. The 70-20-10 learning framework reflects this. This well-established learning framework suggests that: 1. 10% of competence comes from formal training (presentations, readings, workshops);
