Learning Simulation

Law 1: Adults are babies with big bodies.

Learning Simulations are games that allow delegates to learn quickly, on a relevant exercise, without the pressure of the day job.      

Law 2: People do not argue with their own data.

Learning Simulations based workshops allow delegates to construct their understanding. The workshop is not about telling people what to do; instead it is showing them what they could do.

Law 3: Learning is directly proportional to the amount of fun you are having.

Learning Simulations (serious games) are fun. We pride ourselves on the fact that people leave our workshops with a smile. But, the real proof of the pudding is that we have had individuals do the same simulation a number of times!

Law 4: Learning has not taken place until behaviour has changed.

Learning Simulations accelerate understanding and shift thinking. Long-term evaluation of our programmes shows that learning outcomes have been sustained and changes incorporated. Follow on work, in the organisation, enables the delegates to take the learning forward.
