What We Do Immersive Learning Design Game-based Learning Business and Financial Acumen Programs Learning Vision, Strategy, Roadmap Immersive Learning Experiences Design We create immersive, experiential, simulation-based, game-based, scenario/challenge based learning experiences. Do you have existing learning programs that are more lecture like, or too monotonous even with exercises? We can transform them into engaging and immersive learning experiences that stay with the learner for a long time. We also coach facilitators on delivery of the immersive and experiential learning programs. What did the needs analysis uncover? What are the learning objectives? How do learning objectives align with other learning initiatives and business strategy of the organization? What audience is the learning for? Who are the learners? What are some peculiarities of these learners? What are the most effective modes of learning? What are the challenges/obstacles to learning? And many other questions. We look at them all to create learning experiences that bring in personal and organizational growth. One of the most important aspects of our approach is that we make efforts to understand the learners, their environment, personal and professional needs, challenges, aspirations. To achieve desired learning objectives and engagement, we apply a wide range of approaches in activities, modes of learning, flow of content, and use of technologies, instructional methods. Business and Financial Acumen Business acumen is understanding of the business entity as a whole system with different yet interrelated drivers of success and understanding of the financial expression of performance. Strong business acumen is one of the key success factors of both individual professional growth and organization's growth and profitability. Imagine that all people across the whole organization have solid business and financial acumen. How would this help the organization? Do you think they would feel more motivated and empowered to contribute to the organization? Would this, in turn, lead to a great personal and organizational growth? We believe the answer to the last two questions is "YES". We help develop business thinking. All programs are designed based on the principals of the learning process and learner's engagement at the cognitive and emotional levels using interactivity, practical application, games and game elements. Our learning events can be stand alone programs or as a part of your bigger curriculum and development programs.

Our experience shows that this level of the game is great for professionals in HR, Marketing, Sales, Learning and Development, Engineering, IT, Production roles. This game is also effective as a pre-course to the Level 2 and Level 3 games when financial knowledge and skills of the participants in the program vary and should be brought to the base level for the best results of the learning experience. Very often people with no finance or accounting background have some degree of fear toward working with numbers, looking at the financial statements, not to mention trying to understand and interpret them. "I am not a numbers person", "this is not for me", "I am not good at it" are common thoughts and obstacles to learning. With our unique combination of teaching and coaching and special design of learning, our game-based learning experiences remove intimidation out of learning finance, help conquer obstacles to learning and unlock learners' potential.
