LDCL Gamification in Leadership

The link between gamification and leadership is one that may not seem immediately apparent, but a number of organisations have started applying game mechanics to leadership training. In this week's LDC session we will be looking at some examples of these, and thinking about how one common gamification tool, the use of badges, might be used in educational leadership training.

Gamification in Leadership

A number of companies have been exploring ways to use gamification in leadership.

Deloitte, for example, have introduced badges into their leadership academy, see: How Deloitte Made Learning a Game

Deloitte are using Badgeville as their platform for awarding badges.

Another company, NTT Data, are using games for leadership skills, see: NTT Gamification

A good badge platform for creating badges that has been used by teachers on the programme before is Credly. You can see a video about this created by one of our previous students on the portal.
