Did you know Fathomd games are a fun way to bring experiential learning into corporate training? Twice this year, Amazon, one of the world's largest supply chains, used Fathomd, Inc.'s games in their Supply Chain Leadership (SCL) program.
Last week, Dr. Ming Hu brought our Newsvendor Game to a cohort of WW FBA Amazonians. In Dr. Hu's words: "The Newsvendor Game got the Amazon trainees familiar with the tradeoff of committing a supply quantity before random demand realizes. It helps set the stage for the reorder point discussion."
Earlier this year in March, Dr. Özalp Özer brought our Forecast Sharing Game (FSG) to a different cohort with the same program. For Amazonians who build production systems and technologies around these exact challenges, these concepts are lived realities. These experiential simulations offer a gamified, shared framework and vocabulary to reflect on their own behaviors and decisions in a low-stakes environment.
Amazon's SCL Program Leader Anu Sairaj said of both sessions that "the enthusiasm and energy was certainly very high. Experiential learning is always a hit with our leaders as they can immediately connect the concepts to real decisions they make every day."
That's exactly what Fathomd is built to do: translate deep operational and behavioral science into fun and educational experiences that stick - without the cost of learning the concepts through real operational mistakes.
