Mini Cube Challenge is a web-based application that aims to facilitate students’ understanding of the 7 learning orientations and 10 facilitating factors of organizational learning through an activity that requires them to apply these concepts for learning. The game allows students to compete with one another for the fastest time in solving a 2x2 Challenge Cube. The fastest students will then be assigned as instructors to teach other students how to solve the cube more efficiently. This cumulates in a final challenge round where the class competes for the fastest time.
At its core, organizational learning involves the acquisition, interpretation, and application of knowledge within an organizational context. The sharing of such knowledge is also an integral part of organizational learning as it goes beyond individual learning by encompassing the collective intelligence, experiences, and insights of the entire organization. This process is not confined to formal training programs but extends to the day-to-day interactions, problem-solving activities, and shared experiences that shape the organization's identity.
Mini Cube Challenge seeks to do this through the following learning objectives:
-
Students will be able to understand organizational learning, distinguish it from individual learning, and explain its significance in navigating VUCA environments.
-
Students will be able to identify and analyse various mechanisms that facilitate organizational learning for improving performance, through all three stages of learning, knowledge acquisition, knowledge sharing, knowledge utilization.
-
Students will be able to apply organizational learning principles to address specific challenges posed by volatility, uncertainty, complexity, and ambiguity (VUCA) in organizational contexts.
