Abstract

For decades, our team has explored accelerating expertise through a specific kind of “gamification”, which emphasizes unstructured tasks with high stakes “non-negotiable” goals and opportunities for rapid trial and error iteration. This approach has resulted in the development of deep domain expertise. Recent work incorporating the use of Massive Multi-player virtual worlds with advanced behaviour tracking, which we pursued as a way of increasing the power of this method and scaling it, has yielded some unexpected benefits, for both accelerating learning and for organizational innovation. This paper discusses a case study of a Mining Portfolio Company that discovered an innovative way of using decision making enabled by the technology and the method.
