  Gamification for Talent Development: Deconstructing the Psychology of Games to Entice, Engage, and Encourage Learners

   

  Webinar Presented by

  Jonathan Peters, PhD, Chief Motivation Officer, Sententia

  
  

  Wouldn’t it be great to know how to introduce a gaming dimension into the corporate training programs you design or deliver? What would it look like to include game elements such as levels, challenges,rewards, and easter eggs to drive participation, engagement, retention, and to achieve a measurable ROI?

  In this hands-on program you will learn the 5-step process of gamifying a training program. You’ll learn how to:
  

  • Define your measurable business objectives and determine how Gamification will help you to achieve your objectives
  • Weave analogies and stories to make the training "stickable" – so that players remember facts and transfer skills to real world scenarios
  • Create the right mix of ingredients and next steps in your learning activities to allow the participants to acquire knowledge and skill
  • Identify the game elements and mechanics (chance, competition, collaboration, rewards, etc.) you will use in projects
  • Construct a consistent, attractive - even charming and captivating - cohesiveness that ties the entire project together
  • Answer the question: Is your learning fun?

  The Gamification of real-world training and development is a powerful technique which can motivate people and help generate loyalty to your organization, its products, and its message. At its core, Gamification is about finding the fun in the things that we have to do. When learning is fun, people remember, apply, and return to the learning.

  Stakeholder Centered Coaching
   

  “In our work as leadership coaches we advise our Talent Development and HR partners about identifying future leaders in their companies and creating programs to form them into better leaders. Often times we also work to help a Director or VP who, though smart, dedicated, motivated, hard-working, and creative, is also a difficult, opinionated, know-it-all."

  Developing as a leader is a difficult endeavor. Demands on leaders are increasing, meaning there is less time for focusing on personal change. And, the catch is that as more is expected of you as a leader, there is less time for development.

  It’s not easy, but our stakeholder centered process is proven over literally thousands of candidate leaders. This model has just a few simple steps: Ask, Listen, Think, Thank,Change, Follow Up.

  This simple model for leadership development works! If I can help you consider the possibility that despite all of your success to date you might have some things that youcan change to be “even better” – then we will have done our job.

  In this session, we will:

  1. Ask: Ask people "How can I do better at_(You choose)_?
  2. Listen: Listen to their answers, don't talk.
  3. Think: Think about their input. What does it mean?
  4. Thank: Thank people for sharing their feedback with you.
  5. Change: It isn't an academic exercise. Plan a little, act a lot.
  6. Follow-up: Follow up regularly so stakeholders will notice.

  The Key to a Vibrant Company Culture? Talent Development!

  
  

  Company vision, mission, and values are all important for aligning a business on where it's headed and what it expects from the team that works there. But have you ever worked at a place where the stated company values didn't match the values and behaviors of the team? Or where the skills needed to achieve the long term company vision weren't the things that were rewarded or celebrated?

  Company culture is the heart and soul of any company. The culture tells people what behaviors are "normal"- what is "good" and what is "bad", regardless of what the vision, mission, or values might say. Talent development and training can make meaningful, practical, and lasting impact to create and sustain a company culture aligned to the values and mission of your business. How? Let's talk about it!
