Steps To Developing A Strategic Mindset

Many organizations have the tendency to lose their grasp on long-term plans in order to get immediate results. That’s why strategic thinking skills are essential for employees at all levels.

Everyone needs to be able to evaluate ideas, devise alternatives, make hard choices and align tactics to reach business objectives.

This program offers you a powerful introduction to AMA’s Strategic Thinking seminar, explaining the combination of concepts around the skills needed to think strategically, and the practices that allow participants to develop and hone their skills in a classroom environment.

This course is designed for people who want to be able to move beyond day-to-day, reactionary thinking to gain a more long-term and future-focused perspective.

Join AMA for a preview of this seminar, including:

• Traits that determine the ability to think strategically
• An introduction to AMA’s 9-part model for strategic thinking
• Tips for putting the model into practice in your daily life

Problem:  Gamification is an important and powerful strategy for influencing and motivating people. Unfortunately, many people think that gamification means adding a game, making a computer or a video game, or simply adding points, badges, and a leaderboard to their learning program.

Because of this confusion, combined with a lack of real-life case studies of gamification successfully applied to learning programs, most do not understand how to deconstruct popular games like Minecraft, Fortnite, or even Monopoly to effectively drive the learning and behavior they want or need.

Solution:  Using case studies from real-life programs developed in collaboration with Sententia Gamification for organizations ranging from top-tier universities, to Fortune 100 companies, government agencies, and not for profits, you’ll learn how and why Gamification works, in what context it is most effective, and what the limits are to this approach of employee engagement in training and talent development.

Learn how to:

• Create a fun, collaborative gamification experience to achieve business objectives
• Tackle challenging problems with gamification
• Capture measurement, behavior analysis, and engagement in ways that provide a real-time understanding of performance
• Use gamification mechanics and motivators to generate needed change, and enable your organizations to meet your business or learning objectives
• Map a practical method for approaching gamification in your organization

Through hands-on application combined with anecdotal and empirical data, you will experience the good, the bad, and the ugly of implementing gamification in your organization.

Monica Cornetti (LinkedIn profile) CEO of Sententia Gamification, is a gamification education & design consultant based in Austin, TX, & Gamemaster of GamiCon, an annual international conference for the gamification of learning.  An influential speaker, and author of:
