Practise the hard calls before they’re real.
Branching scenarios, simulations and story-driven experiences for judgement-heavy skills. People make choices, see consequences and build confidence in a place where mistakes are safe.
Free: tell us the conversation your people find hardest and we’ll sketch a branching scenario for it.
Knowing the rule isn’t the same as making the call.
- People pass the quiz, then freeze in the real conversation.
- Your highest-risk moments only happen a few times a year, so nobody gets to practise.
- Role-plays feel awkward, so people avoid them.
What changes
- Confidence under pressure: People practise difficult moments again and again, where mistakes are safe and feedback is instant.
- Learning people talk about: Stories, characters and consequences that are memorable enough to discuss at lunch.
- Insight into judgement: Choice data shows how your people think in tricky situations, not just what they know.
What’s included
- Scenario research: We talk to your people to find the moments that really test judgement.
- Branching design: Choices with believable consequences and feedback that teaches, not scolds.
- Simulations: Software, process and equipment simulations people can practise safely.
- Story and characters: Writing, illustration, video or voice that makes the situation feel real.
- Debrief tools: Guides so managers and facilitators can turn choices into conversation.
Work we’ve done: Movember
Family Man is an interactive video journey where your choices change how each scenario plays out. It is built on evidence-based parenting strategies developed by Movember alongside leading child behaviour experts. “Family Man was everything that I wished for. It’s research-based and that ties into changing behaviours.” (David, father of two)
Who it suits
- The skill is about judgement, not just knowledge.
- Mistakes on the job are costly, risky or public.
- You want learning people talk about afterwards.
How it works
- Find the moments: Interviews with the people who do the job to find the calls that really test judgement.
- Map the branches: A branching map of choices, consequences and feedback, agreed before writing.
- Write and produce: Script, characters, illustration, video or voice, depending on what makes it feel real.
- Test with real people: We test with your team, tune the choices that feel too easy or unfair, then launch.
Frequently asked questions
What skills suit scenario-based learning?
Anything where people weigh options under pressure: leadership conversations, customer service, sales, safety, clinical or ethical decisions and incident response.
Do immersive scenarios need VR?
No. Most immersive scenarios run in a browser on any device. We recommend VR or video only when it clearly adds to the learning.
How do you keep scenarios realistic?
We build them from interviews and real examples from your workplace, then test them with the people who do the job.
What is a branching scenario?
A branching scenario puts the learner in a realistic situation and asks them to choose what to do. Each choice leads somewhere different, so they see the consequences and learn from them.
Can scenarios use video?
Yes. We produce interactive video where it adds realism, as with Movember’s Family Man. Illustrated or text-based scenarios work well too, and cost less to update.
Can we track the choices people make?
Yes. With xAPI or your LMS’s reporting we can show which choices people make, so you can see where judgement needs support.
