Implementing game-based learning can be tricky, especially financially. Many organizations face issues such as:

• Solutions working for one use case but being too expensive to adapt for others.
• Complex partnerships with specialist providers.
• Rising costs for adapting and maintaining the solution.
• Need for client devices out of reach for learners.
• Assumptions that all learners have access to high-end data.

These challenges are why many organizations only have one serious game. Learners' needs are diverse, and collecting random solutions is costly and confusing.

Applio was designed to avoid these pitfalls. Our solution works for both learners and those delivering the learning in an increasingly competitive environment.

When Applio was created, we focused on building a sustainable system rather than a temporary solution. This took time and careful planning, leading us to drop many ideas that didn’t align with our goal of long-term ease of use, versatility, and value. The system was designed to adapt to new ideas and technologies, protecting your investment. For example, we have a paper explaining how we can integrate with the latest AI developments.

Our solution focuses on key human behaviors: learning from stories, the safety and fun of collaborating, and the need for flexibility to engage on terms that work for the individual.

We’ve also invested heavily in maximizing the value of your content through reuse and repurposing—whether it’s content created within the platform or incorporating existing assets to make it work harder for you.

No we've not lost the plot. This is the analogy we use for an organisations serious game and learning spend. It's easy to spend a significant amount of money on a spectacular looking one off project and if the business case justifies it then that's great. However, in the current climate many organisations are looking for innovative ways to engage their learners without having that killer single business case. What they need is a sustainable solution that comes in at a sensiible price point and that can be returned to time and again, each time increasing the ROI on that investment. That's where the well (and Applio's platform) come in!
