Entitled "Strategic Gamification with Barclays", the work was co-written by Gary Spring, Head of Design at Barclays and Dr Richard Hyde, CEO at Mind Click. It provides detailed insight into how Barclays is working to develop a strategic L&D approach that prepares it for the digital revolution and future of learning.

This paper sets out to inspire other organisations to leverage modern technologies and transform learning cultures by providing intuitive and stimulating learning experiences for their workforce.

In this whitepaper, Gary Spring proposes a digital learning overhaul strategy that utilises advanced techniques and technologies, including social learning and gamification, enveloped in a blended approach to create a stimulating and nourishing environment for learners to take control of their own development.

Commenting on his strategic approach, Gary Spring says, "The challenges that we face remain the same: How do we motivate people to want to learn, and how do we make our learning engaging and immersive? I believe this sophisticated blended approach will excite your entire organisation and perhaps spark the creation of something that is ahead of the market and industry trends."

Gary also shares innovative ways organisations can effectively leverage the human givens to drive employees to achieve their goals. By tapping into what motivates learners as humans, L&D professionals are able to determine a more successful learning strategy that utilises modern and digital technology.

Among other things, this whitepaper explores

• how to capture the hearts and minds of learners with deeper digital learning
• gamification, social learning, and the humanisation of L&D and how these approaches can be effectively applied to the corporate learning equation
• how you can better leverage the human givens in your learning strategy
• the future of L&D strategy - and how you can make it work for your organisation.

Mind Click is delighted to be working closely with Barclays to help develop and evolve its L&D strategy, supporting it in implementing this digital overhaul across its entire organisation.

Speaking about Mind Click's partnership with Barclays, Dr Richard Hyde comments, "Strategy in L&D should, of course, be about fulfilling the needs of your learners now. But in order to continue on a trajectory of success, you must consider the future learner, too. Having worked closely with Gary myself, it's so inspiring to see such an influential organisation focus on the needs of its learners and how positive it is with adapting its strategy to embrace modern technologies. It's been a pleasure to explore the future of L&D with Barclays for this whitepaper, and all of us at Mind Click look forward to collaborating with them to develop this strategy further."
