If we want to mitigate human risk, we need to engage the humans that might crystallise it. But how can we do that effectively?
My guests, Lasse Frost and Jacob Danelund have been working on this challenge for some time. Their focus is on engaging target audiences, using techniques that range from gamification \u2014 turning something into a game \u2014 to story-telling, the natural way we all learn as children.
Lasse and Jacob both work for Implement Consulting, a firm based in Denmark, that as you\u2019ll hear, brings a very Danish way of looking at this challenge. I came across Implement when they were launching Complayance - a combination of the \u2018Compliance and \u2018play\u2019 - a digital platform that delivers Compliance training through a compelling gaming interface.
Lasse and Jakob aren\u2019t just designers, they\u2019re also podcasters hosting a show called The Human Firewall.
In the episode, we explore why traditional approaches to the challenge of engaging people, sometimes don\u2019t work and what more effective ones might be.
