Generally, induction training programs or employee training programs use a knowledge packed and information overload for the new recruits and the existing employees of the organization. However, Gamification approach has brought about a paradigm shift in the techniques and methodologies applied for conducting training programs in organizations. Adopted from ‘Game Theory’ technique, it is an approach which is used to not only train but evolve solutions based approach to solving operational problems, goal setting for organizational effectiveness. For example, in case of induction training programs the new recruits are given various systems to select from, they start playing a game where they are taken on a tour and are provided with the information about the organization that they have joined. The next level asks them to select the correct choice from the multiple choice questions related to the information already provided to them and which they are asked to select. The name o...

Imagine a scenario where a car is being tested for the noise created by its engine, while the driver sits in the car. In the given case, there are possibilities that either the driver hears more sound of the engine while he drives with the engine being switched on or he hears no sound or less. In this scenario the design engineer would need to make changes to various components of the car. For example, if the sound of the car engine can be heard by the driver while the engine is switched on then probably reduce the speed at which the driver shaft rotates thereby reducing the frequency of the sound it makes or use a technique adopted by GM as solution to implement active noise cancellation in which GM used M icrophones in the body to listen to the ambient sounds the car and engine are making, and the car plays the opposite of that over the vehicle’s speakers. The sound waves from the engine are cancelled out by the sound from the entertainment system, netting a quieter ride th...
