    Adventure-based Learning™ is rapidly becoming the training tool of choice

    If many experts and analysts are to be believed, traditional education methods have had their day. In order to survive in a competitive world, companies simply have to keep on developing the skills of their staff. Best suited for this purpose are innovative training tools such as Core-Competence GmbH’s Adventure-based Learning™, since it enables participants to learn in a more motivated and efficient way.

    Analysts assume that game-based learning methods such as Adventure-based Learning™ will become increasingly important in the years ahead. More precisely, keener competition and the swiftly changing business environment will force executives to assign a higher priority to the ongoing and long-term training of company staff. In addition, there are growing budgetary pressures, which will make companies opt for efficient and cost-effective solutions where the results are measurable.

    The consultants at Gartner Research came to the conclusion that methods such as Adventure-based Learning™ make it possible to train more employees in a shorter space of time. Learning games are more efficient: In the various scenes of the interactive role game, employees can run through specific situations which they will subsequently encounter in their daily work. The game-based environment additionally motivates learning and facilitates a higher level of concentration. For this reason, Gartner Research analysts predict that as early as 2011 the vast majority of companies will deem game-based learning methods to be a critical component in their human resources development framework.

    “The future belongs to web-based role game training,” confirms Core-Competence Managing Partner Karl Berger. Since companies are continually getting larger, a process which goes hand in hand with greater staff fluctuation, there is a growing need for standardized, fast and efficient training systems. “Methods such as Adventure-based Learning™ will profit markedly from this trend,” Berger believes. Core-Competence GmbH intends to expand its position as industry leader in this training segment, and to play a dominant role in the ongoing development of these innovative and forward-looking methods.
