A Motivating and Practice-Oriented Learning Approach for Your Teaching

In our Leaderfy Game, students in Bachelor's, Master's, and MBA programs can gain their own practical experience as a virtual leader on complex real-world topics like change management, leadership, and team development. This makes it possible for students to actively experiment and learn from their actions in a safe environment. The game can be flexibly integrated into your teaching: from an initial sensitization at the start of your leadership lecture to the in-depth application and reflection of theoretical content, a wide variety of application formats are possible in-person, online, or in blended concepts with self-study phases.

The following use case examples from our clients give you an insight into the variety of application concepts:

Conclusion from Maria Collado (Head of Studium Generale, ZfS): "The Leaderfy Game was very well received by the students. I am impressed that the students were able to put themselves in the shoes of a leader in change processes, even without extensive practical experience of their own. The evaluation clearly shows that the participants had a lot of fun and enjoyment with this application-oriented learning method. I am pleased to see that the students were able to learn a lot for themselves, for their studies, and for their future."
