WHAT IS THE INNOVATION

KITCHEN? Our IK is a virtual space for practitioners to collaborate on new and innovative learning approaches.

• A means to create regional and global cooperation within GP

• A methodological process for assessing efficacy and impact of an innovation

• A way to evaluate and compare technologies without falling into the “shiny object” syndrome

• A way to share findings and case studies

VIRTUAL REALITY GAMIFICATIONINNOVATION KITCHEN LEARNING PLATFORMS

The move into VR-based learning started as a thinking experiment.

• GP didn’t know exactly where it would land and only had hypotheses

• GP didn’t have teams with the necessary skills or methodologies

• We knew that we needed a pilot program to learn what we didn’t know about VR

We used VR to create an opportunity to reduce costs at Facebook and others.

• Evolved our thinking on usage

• Resulted in more robust development methodologies and skillsets

• Moved GP into other virtual technologies such as AR and MR

LEARNING PLATFORMSThere are far too many learning experience platforms (LXPs) for any single person to know.• Clients lament about their current

enterprise learning infrastructure• Learners lament about their learning

experience• Our clients cannot afford to make a

speculative investment • …And most LXPs say they can do just

about everything

How do you change the legacy learning approach of ~150 practitioners? Together.• Merck needed to shift to a learner-

centric, agile process • Their L&D team needed to gain support

and buy-in from business executives • We partnered with them to build and

launch the Modern Learning Transformation experience

Human connection matters.• People actively engaged: in Cohort 1,

about half of participants engaged. In Cohort 2, 85% were engaged

• The global L&D team documented further signs of success, including: • Improved questioning • Increased use of learning personas • Employed design prototypes

• How would this kind of uptake help your clients?

GAMIFICATION IN THE INNOVATION

KITCHEN

GAMIFICATIONINNOVATION KITCHEN VIRTUAL REALITY LEARNING PLATFORMS

Gamification has been seen as a way to drive learner engagement. • Many organizations and learners have

preconceived notions about what gamification is

• Good implementation of game-based learning and gamification have proven to be nuanced

• The key to good implementation is in defining clear goals, expectations, and measurement

• Not all implementations succeed the first time they are implemented

GM Center of Learning (CoL) was interested in two gamification platforms.• CoL engaged GP to create a structured

pilot to evaluate the two platforms side-by-side

• The goal was to identify which platform would be a better means to deliver gamified microLearning to dealerships to drive engagement and completion

• Both platforms succeeded, but ultimately failed in that they didn’t drive adoption

• It was determined that gamification alone, would not drive adoption. That a more comprehensive solution was required that leverages gamification as an element of a broader program

GP and GM paused on the gamification experiment until a real need presented itself. • Game-based and gamified activities

created more pull-through when the activities were a part of a greater whole

• This same approach has been taken with real-world games that have been designed to reinforce topics from a larger program
