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. We talked to four organizations who recently implemented our Knowledge Guru game-based learning platform to learn about how they made their initiatives successful. We turned the common methods these organizations used into seven implementation tips you can use at your organization.

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.

What is the real cost of not remembering?


Managers, Directors, and VP’s are painfully aware of what happens when critical training concepts are forgotten. ASTD estimates that in 2012, organizations invested $164.2 billion in employee training. How much of your training investment goes to waste?

Remembering is hard; forgetting is easy.

You’ve probably heard of Herman Ebbinghaus’ famous “Forgetting Curve,” based on research done in the late 19th century. 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.
