chose Wittario

Background and challenge

Kongsberg Maritime was bringing salespeople from several countries together for a gathering in Norway. The agenda included important topics such as a shared sales culture, collaboration across national borders and how the organisation could build on insights from a recently completed employee survey.

HR wanted participants to arrive well prepared so that as much time as possible could be spent on dialogue, reflection and collaboration rather than one-way information delivery.

The goal was to create a learning journey that began before the gathering and continued through the workshops.

How

Kongsberg Maritime

solved the challenge

Together with Wittario, Kongsberg Maritime developed three activities to support the entire process.

✓
Before the gathering, participants were given access to a Pre-Pack in Wittario. They could prepare at their own pace through information, reflection tasks and content related to the topics that would be discussed at the gathering.
✓
The participants met in person and continued learning through a dedicated workshop game in Wittario.
✓
Here, participants worked together on tasks concerning, among other things, a shared sales culture, collaboration across countries, conscious and unconscious bias, and reflections on the findings of the employee survey.
✓
The activities were run as stationary games, accessible both in the Wittario app and directly in a web browser.

From challenge to solution

Instead of spending much of the gathering on presentations, participants could arrive well prepared.

That made the workshops more dynamic. Through tasks, reflection and discussion, everyone had the opportunity to contribute actively with their own experiences and perspectives.

For HR, this meant that the gathering evolved from a traditional conference into a process in which participants helped shape the organisation's future work on culture and collaboration.

Why does this work?

Culture cannot be established by PowerPoint presentations. It develops when employees reflect, discuss and build a shared understanding of goals and values.

By combining individual preparation with interactive workshops, Kongsberg Maritime created a learning process that involved participants throughout the journey.

At the same time, HR could follow up the activities digitally and use the results as a basis for further development.

The customer's experience is consistent with research showing that active learning produces better learning outcomes than passive instruction.
