Methodology
The developed, game-based learning method is a combination of three elements:
- High-quality content equivalent to a two-day, on-site course with a strong, practical focus that is useful and directly applicable to the work
- The use of gamification techniques in terms of storytelling, ranking motivation, scoring, different learning and game levels, and incentives through recognition and awards. This makes the training a motivating and exciting learning experience, which directly promotes the intrinsic motivation to learn alongside your employees
Practical exercises that allow you as a participant to practice directly in a safe and motivating environment and to implement the practical knowledge. You will receive detailed feedback in the form of individual learning loops.

Why PACIFIC?
- Learn skills with a direct impact: Leadership, negotiation, time management, personal productivity etc.
- Gamification techniques such as storytelling, badges, and levels to generate engagement. Rankings and challenges to increase motivation in the participant
- Sophisticated simulators representing real situations. Safe environment for the employee to practice and receive feedback for improvement
The best part is that the participant receives direct feedback on their actions. In practice, the feedback loop is often stretched until the next jour fixe, employee, or annual bonus discussion.
In gamified trainings, the learning curve is steeper and more direct. For example, as a participant, you motivate your employees in their daily work or, alternatively, overwhelm the employees in their capacity. In the game, you receive direct feedback on the following day.
This takes into account the employee profile, whether the efficiency of the individual employee increases or decreases based off their actions, and if the employee feels like they’re hitting their limit.
