Korn Ferry "Decisive" Simulation

An online decision-making and integrity assessment simulation.

OUR OBJECTIVE

To create a gameplay experience that serves as a decision-making simulation and integrity assessment tool

Inspired by the Kobayashi Maru - a training exercise in the Star Trek franchise designed to test the character of Starfleet Academy cadets in a no-win scenario - global organisational consulting firm Korn Ferry wanted to create a one-of-a-kind assessment tool for a client in the financial services industry in Indonesia that incorporates two integrity frameworks. We created an online decision-making and integrity assessment simulation that can be easily managed and rolled out.

OUR STRATEGY

  • To create a narrative-based decision-making simulation and integrity assessment tool.

THE OUTCOME

  • A carefully-concealed simulation which includes assessment questions that used game elements and engaging storytelling, allowing for more honest and candid answers from participants.

  • Players can either play solo or in teams of up to six (6) people to follow different storylines filled with various scenarios and mini games, requiring them to make a series of decisions leading to different outcomes.

  • Some gamified elements included:

    • Mini games

    • Timers

    • Interactive environmental elements e.g. drag and drop, click

    • Multiple decision trees and outcomes

    • Points and reputation system

    • Live assessment database
