Recently, I was scanning for information about gaining "practical knowledge" and how it activates critical thinking.  Of course, my objective was to find evidence that substantiates my belief that the Gauge Game process provides the practical knowledge needed to become aware of a topic.

I have seen both successful and unsuccessful ventures over my 20 plus years of mentoring and strategic advantage planning. Successful organizations know how to gather information about their market, their product.

People have asked me time and time again why Gauge is so impactful in today's isolated world. 

Well, the answer is quite simple, in the old work environment, we all could easily get up, walk around and find someone who could help us think through an issue, then come up with possible solutions.  

Sir Richard Branson, the world-famous entrepreneur, adventurer and leading advocate of intrapreneurism, has five criteria for a product or service to bear the Virgin brand:

These results are from Bersin and Deloitte, who have been leading researchers on training and development impacts. This slide is the best-case scenario for leader lead learning and keynote address knowledge retention.

Clarify your vision for a more successful life with these “Thought Provokers.”  Answer the question quickly; the answers are not to be contemplated over a long period but should build upon immediate perceptions. 

Gauge provided positive reinforcement from merely getting a question right to sharing information with a colleague in a competitive format. The Gauge app unlocks the “reward pathway” in the brain.  

We all can agree that our lifestyles, organizations, and social engagements have radically changed in a few short weeks! As long as social distancing is in place, mentoring opportunities to share informal learnings (tacit information) are being lost.

Two phases that have a dynamic impact on sports, business and lifestyle are:

Leader-lead and web-based learning have major challenges:

Interaction is the Key to Growth and Engagement.

The Gauge Gamification process facilitates open dialogue in a safe environment.  Gauge questions and resources inspire divergent thinking leading to new ideas.

The Ebbinghaus forgetting curve presents learning leaders with an obvious challenge.

The important take away is, regular recall can combat annoying memory deterioration. The Gauge platform builds repeat recall improving formally, presented macro-learning retention by about 80%.

In today’s job market, leading companies are looking for creativity from their teams.

Steven Covey said it best “Seek first to understand and be understood.” He followed it up with “Sharpen the saw.”  In both cases, knowledge is the key.

The Gauge Gamification Application has one primary purpose, to create interest in learning that facilitates the sharing of information and interactions to stimulate collaboration.  

Pilot trainees learn through active learning through experiencing real-life scenarios, confirming that they know how to handle a situation or, more importantly, learning what they need to be aware of a situation presents itself.

Mental strength can mean many things to many people, but no matter whether you're a warrior in an extreme environment or a mother with a sick child, there several similar components that define "mental strength."  

In the January/February 2020 issue of Harvard Business Review, there is an interesting article entitled “The Transformer CLO.”  It starts with this statement “IN TODAY’S DYNAMIC BUSINESS ENVIRONMENT, workplace learning has become a key lever for success.”

 “There is an important difference between being innovative and being an innovative enterprise.  The former generates a lot of ideas and the latter generates a lot of cash”.  
- Harvard Business Review written by Theodore Levitt, entitled “Creativity Is Not Enough.” 

Today’s workers live in an environment of rapid change.  Changing industry demands, internal culture realignments and increasing customer-facing challenges are the new norms.

Gauge is building its database of scenario questions for libraries of information on best practices in various industries.  

To succeed, we need to know what our weaknesses are and then find out how to resolve them. When we learn, we feel more confident, and the mental strength gained by being comfortable with life and business discussion

When I was younger my philosophy of life was “Lead me not into temptation …show me where it is and I will find it myself’.
