In this episode of The Learning Edge Podcast, Leif is joined by Sascha Ruh from Sparkassen Consulting to explore how gamification can ensure that learning truly sticks. Sascha and his colleagues have been working strategically with simulation-based workshops to make sure that training initiatives continue to have an impact long after the session ends.
With deep experience in change management, Sascha explains how gamified learning helps secure the soft skills necessary to anchor technical transformations. Rather than treating games as entertainment, Sparkassen Consulting links every simulation directly to real organizational change. Participants are invited to test strategic assumptions, explore management decisions, and experience resistance in a realistic yet safe environment.
Sascha reflects on how initial hesitation in the room often turns into surprise and engagement once the simulation begins. A simple game setup quickly reveals decision-making patterns and highlights how leadership choices influence resistance and progress. One of the most powerful elements is replaying the simulation with a different strategy and reviewing what created a new outcome.
In this episode, Sascha shares practical insights into using gamification intentionally—starting with clear goals, identifying expected bottlenecks, and ensuring that every workshop is designed to drive meaningful, lasting change.
