Reasons for Using Games and Simulations for Learning and Development

  • Learning becomes enjoyable, challenging and stimulating
  • They enable participants to quickly realize their strengths and weaknesses in a relatively safe environment
  • They enable the transfer of theory into practice
  • They enable participants to see and experience the gap between what they think they believe and what their behaviour demonstrates they believe
  • Leadership simulation
  • Games and simulations encourage participants to take risks and experiment with new behaviour
  • Participants often know more than they think they know. Games and simulations help participants to discover the underlying principles that make them competent
  • They stimulate participants to ask more penetrating questions, about themselves, their colleagues and their organization, than a more formal learning process would trigger
  • They can produce more powerful insights than were planned for the learning experience
  • They enable people to learn by doing *
  • They are FUN.
