7 Steps to an Effective Serious Game or Gamification Implementation
Let’s face it: launching a new learning technology can feel like a leap of faith.

So, how did we come to these seven steps?
We get to collect stories from organizations who wish to submit for industry awards. These are typically the “best of the best.” They planned for success, either partnered with us to build a solution or created their own game with Knowledge Guru, and drove meaningful business results from their efforts.
What’s interesting about these award-winning implementations is just how similar they are. We find that the companies that are most successful with games and gamification in their organizations take many similar approaches when it comes to implementation. And from that we determined the most important steps for success.

While the curve can approach 90% in terms of total information forgotten, more recent research shows that the Forgetting Curve is highly variable. Regardless of the exact percentage, What percentage of what we learn do YOU think is okay to forget?

What are the 7 truths about remembering?
We teach a “Seven Truths” model to show how people best retain information. It’s not that only 7 truths about remembering exist, but well… the number seven is part of the point. Ever wonder why phone numbers have seven digits? Research conducted in the 1950′s by cognitive psychologist showed that seven, plus or minus two, is the maximum number of “things” we can remember at any one time.
Our seven truths about remembering are tools we use to quickly gain insight into how the brain works when facilitating and designing instructional content. By teaching these truths in a Trainer the Trainer session, you are enabling learners to do things like linking the new to the familiar, eliminating unnecessary content and more.
