Bryant Nielson - Transformative Corporate Training with Simulations
Presenter: Bryant Nielson, Executive Director / Founder, CapitalWave Inc.
Gamification is not just entertainment, but a powerful corporate learning tool which can give a better understanding of complex financial concepts. By employing multiple platform interfaces, our use of simulations create engaging competitions that include design elements such as: multi-player games, team based cooperation, rule based mechanics, dynamic environments, and feedback that is motivational and instructional. Integration of theory based teaching with a highly correlated gaming environment allows the opportunity to test various strategic and behavioral applications of knowledge. The use of ‘simulation writers’ allows instructors flexibility in creating environments and outcomes that are aligned with the knowledge based content that they are delivering. Players approach each game with a case-based perspective. CapitalWave’s use of simulations create opportunities to test and engage both staff and clients. Our adoption of this powerful learning tool is a key differentiator of our firm and for our corporate training.
