Genentech has nominated Digitec for a Chief Learning Officer in Practice Award for its work on the immersive simulation game New Managers Road Map Challenge. The nomination is in the Excellence in Simulations and Games category. The awards will be presented during a special ceremony at the Fall 2010 Chief Learning Officer Symposium, Sept. 27-29 at the Ritz-Carlton Laguna Niguel resort in Dana Point, California.

The game makes professional development continuous and fun, by creating a competitive environment where managers can learn, develop and compete in a non-traditional way. In contrast to the traditional instructor-led delivery approach, the Challenge employs an active, continuous, learner-centric approach.

Digitec is honored to receive this nomination. Our play-to-teach philosophy reflects a broader trend in many organizations and associations, such as Genentech, to implement games-based learning approaches to train staff and association members.
