This study explores how integrating gamification, service design, and platform thinking can enhance corporate training at BMW. This intersection merges motivational techniques (gamification) with user-centred service design and scalable digital platforms to create richer learning experiences. Despite its potential, there is limited research on how these methods work together in corporate training. BMW faces challenges in ensuring employees fully understand the company’s business model and systems. Management identified knowledge and engagement gaps that this project aims to address through innovative training solutions. The project uses the Double Diamond framework, Design Science Research (DSR), and the Gamification Service Framework (GSF), systematically addressing these challenges through four phases: Discover, Define, Develop, and Deliver. The research involved stakeholders through co-design sessions, user journey mapping, and developing a gamified onboarding prototype, which was pilot tested. The prototype included game elements such as points, badges, and interactive scenarios to create an engaging learning environment. Findings suggest that integrating gamification with service design and platform thinking significantly improves employee engagement and knowledge retention. Feedback from pilot testing showed increased motivation and positive responses from participants. This study demonstrates that a comprehensive approach using these methods can transform corporate training programs, aligning them with broader company goals and improving learning outcomes. This framework provides valuable insights for organizations looking to update their training methods, highlighting the importance of focusing on the user to create effective and engaging learning environments. For BMW, this approach not only meets immediate training needs but also supports long-term goals by fostering a more knowledgeable and engaged workforce. Other companies could also benefit from using these integrated methods to enhance their training programs.
Questo studio esplora come l’integrazione di Gamification, Service Design e Platform Thinking possa migliorare la formazione aziendale presso BMW. Questa combinazione unisce tecniche motivazionali (gamification) con un design dei servizi centrato sull’utente e piattaforme digitali scalabili per creare esperienze di apprendimento più ricche. Nonostante il potenziale, la ricerca su come questi metodi lavorino insieme, specialmente nella formazione aziendale, è limitata. BMW affronta sfide significative nel garantire che i dipendenti comprendano appieno il modello di business e i sistemi aziendali. La direzione ha identificato lacune di conoscenza e di coinvolgimento che questo progetto mira a colmare attraverso soluzioni formative innovative. Il progetto utilizza un approccio combinato del framework Double Diamond, della Design Science Research (DSR) e del Gamification Service Framework (GSF), affrontando queste sfide in quattro fasi: Scoprire, Definire, Sviluppare e Consegna. La ricerca ha coinvolto gli stakeholder attraverso sessioni di co-design, mappatura del percorso dell’utente e lo sviluppo di un prototipo di onboarding gamificato, che è stato testato pilota. Il prototipo includeva elementi di gioco come punti, badge e scenari interattivi per creare un ambiente di apprendimento coinvolgente. I risultati suggeriscono che integrare gamification con il service design e le piattaforme digitali migliora significativamente il coinvolgimento dei dipendenti e la ritenzione delle conoscenze. I feedback dai test pilota hanno mostrato una maggiore motivazione e risposte positive dai partecipanti. Questo studio dimostra che un approccio completo utilizzando questi metodi può trasformare i programmi di formazione aziendale, allineandoli con gli obiettivi aziendali e migliorando i risultati di apprendimento.

Abstract
This study explores how integrating gamification, service design, and platform thinking can enhance corporate training at BMW. This intersection merges motivational techniques (gamification) with user-centred service design and scalable digital platforms to create richer learning experiences. Despite its potential, there is limited research on how these methods work together in corporate training. BMW faces challenges in ensuring employees fully understand the company’s business model and systems. Management identified knowledge and engagement gaps that this project aims to address through innovative training solutions. The project uses the Double Diamond framework, Design Science Research (DSR), and the Gamification Service Framework (GSF), systematically addressing these challenges through four phases: Discover, Define, Develop, and Deliver. The research involved stakeholders through co-design sessions, user journey mapping, and developing a gamified onboarding prototype, which was pilot tested. The prototype included game elements such as points, badges, and interactive scenarios to create an engaging learning environment. Findings suggest that integrating gamification with service design and platform thinking significantly improves employee engagement and knowledge retention. Feedback from pilot testing showed increased motivation and positive responses from participants. This study demonstrates that a comprehensive approach using these methods can transform corporate training programs, aligning them with broader company goals and improving learning outcomes. This framework provides valuable insights for organizations looking to update their training methods, highlighting the importance of focusing on the user to create effective and engaging learning environments. For BMW, this approach not only meets immediate training needs but also supports long-term goals by fostering a more knowledgeable and engaged workforce. Other companies could also benefit from using these integrated methods to enhance their training programs.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
