The MoSCoW technique

Kineo

So much to do but not enough time (or money)? This is a common predicament for many of us. Say you buy a house that needs renovating from top to bottom. Would you channel Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen and redesign every room overnight, filling it with designer furniture and replacing all the wallpaper? It’s more likely that you’d identify the priority (or most offensive) areas and tackle those first.

2015 Reflections on Games and Gamification for Learning

Kapp Notes

It seems to me that the year 2015 was the year that gamification got “real” for learning and development. It still has a way to go but a number of instances seem to point to a more concrete and focused effort on making gamification work in learning and development and the spreading of the concept. Gamification is Bringing Serious Game-Based Learning and Simulation-Based Learning Along for the Ride.

“EPS Readiness?” Or “One-and-Done?”

Living in Learning

Successful implementation does not equal full adoption. My point is simply this – being ready to deploy any manner of change is not the same as being at a state of readiness to implement effectively and ensure sustainable adoption across the user population. Both of those examples from my own experiences flash back when I think about the prospects of integrating EPS in any organization.
