Gamification Of Compliance Training Through A Serious Game Concept

Almost always, the brief from the Compliance team is to lay the content "as is”, have forced navigation and get it done quickly with hardly any room for creative strategies. I always felt that the mandate was focused on meeting the “certificate of completion” rather than ensuring a “sticky learning”. However, now I do have a case study of a Compliance team that gave us the mandate to create an immersive learning experience using Gamification.
