In this case study, I was employed to ‘fix’ a boring 3-day compliance workshop. I redesigned it to become a 1-day, high-impact interactive experience built around real-world projects. It started out as a PowerPoint-heavy and expensive example of passive learning that participants did not find engaging. My gamified 1-day revamped workshop left participants feeling confident and motivated, able to apply real-world examples and energised to apply their learning back in the office. What’s more, the in-house facilitator was able to apply some of the strategies to add some sparkle to other in-house training. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56e60f8737013b50c08d8797/fdbd144c-5ffe-4834-944d-f15b3bf7aa6e/Colorful+Abstract+Creative+Idea+Brain+Bulb+Logo+%285%29.png Case Study Sampler - Boring Box Checking This example was in the public service sector where the onboarding for new staff was a series of worksheets and multichoice quizzes. I transformed the onboarding information into an interactive digital escape room packed with puzzles to embed key knowledge in more playful, memorable ways. The new inclusive onboarding escape room encouraged more collaboration and more critical thinking and made joining the company a fun and engaging experience to talk about with colleagues. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56e60f8737013b50c08d8797/62cb8d7d-10bd-4ecd-9b40-19de54384748/Colorful+Abstract+Creative+Idea+Brain+Bulb+Logo+%286%29.png Case Study Sampler - Passive reading This example was with an engineering company. I transformed a dry ‘read this together in a workshop’ content into a series of interactive activities and journaling prompts that could be completed asynchronously and shared in faciliated discussions. This solution sparked deeper reflection and more connection in the teams that participated and offered opportunities for more growth-focused conversations with managers. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56e60f8737013b50c08d8797/64183ba3-5316-47a9-b8ce-6340f384c54b/Colorful+Abstract+Creative+Idea+Brain+Bulb+Logo+%283%29.png Case Study Sampler - One way only This example was with a retail company. The previous learning solution had to be delivered in a specific sequence and was very ‘reading heavy’. In order to breathe life into their online module series, I built a pick-a-path digital whiteboard adventure with built-in choices and flexibility. Learners could progress at their own pace, collect tokens and complete reflection stations to show their learning. I also designed choices for modes of assessment and embedded Universal Design for Learning so that the course was inclusive and accessible. https://www.katrinawardcreative.com/blog-1 daily 0.75 2026-05-06
