Methodology

The developed game-based learning method is a combination of 3 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 story telling, ranking motivation, scoring, different learning and game levels, and incentives through recognition and awards. This makes the training a motivating and exciting learning experience. This directly promotes the intrinsic motivation to learn on your and your employees’ side.
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.

Knowledge and skills:

With the help of the realistic simulations and characters in the serious business game BABEL an effective knowledge transfer succeeds with this training. The gamified training elements stimulate a systematic didactic learning process.

This will allow you and your employees as participants to practice the key skills and concepts necessary to best identify and analyze interpersonal aspects in communication:

To be successful in communicating with others, it is very important to be clear and concise, make sure the timing and setting is appropriate, and always be assertive.
Many times, we only focus on our way of seeing things and lose touch with the people around us. Consequently, our message goes nowhere and thus conflicts and misunderstandings arise that could damage our relationships. Ineffective interpersonal communication can affect outcomes, both personally and professionally.
It’s fundamental to learn to recognize the type of person we have in front of us so that we can anticipate their concerns and motives, their way of interacting, their conversational pace, and their norms.
We will delve into different styles of communication, common mistakes that you should avoid, and ways to more easily facilitate communication for each style. We also teach you some tricks to interact more effectively.
