AN ORGINIZATIONAL GUIDE FOR GAMIFIED LEARNING – Book review
Albert Einstein is remembered for many gems, one of which is highly relevant to the book by Morenus and Kapp:
“Insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.”
You don’t have to be a genius to realize that the work environment has changed radically since the pandemic upended our lives. So, if you continue to do the same thing at work, don’t expect the same outcome in the hybrid work environment.
In “AN ORGINIZATIONAL GUIDE FOR GAMIFIED LEARNING”, Morenus and Kapp have crafted a ‘how-to’ guide that will help you transform how your company learns, interacts and prospers. The material applies to organizations of all sizes.
The style is reminiscent of ‘paint-by-numbers’, making gamification easy to apply. Unlike the two authors, you don’t have to be an expert at gamification to make this work for your company.
The quotes from actual users provide the kind of reviews you would expect to read before purchasing a new product. Once you have read them, you’ll be sure to want to start your own gamified learning journey.
Many ‘how-to’ business books promise the latest, greatest fix for your problems. In this case, the ‘fix’ that the authors provide by way of gamified learning WILL move the needle and deliver superior performances for your organizations. This could mean increased profitability or better outcomes for patients depending on the ‘business’ that you operate. The final chapter of the book cites multiple examples of how improved performance resulted from the adoption of gamified learning in Microsoft and others.
Are you insane?
