Prototyping a serious card game for a gamified approach to upskilling and AI integration in professional settings

In our project, we’re creating an innovative card game that blends traditional symbols, like those from tarot cards, with modern cultural references to help professionals navigate today’s complex workplace dynamics. The card game, created with different AI tools, aims to encourage strategic and speculative thinking, collaboration, and open-mindedness among employees, making room for a more inclusive and empathetic work environment. Through gameplay, we tackle the challenges posed by technological advances like artificial intelligence, turning apprehension into understanding and distrust into confidence. Our project offers an interactive and inclusive approach to learning and adapting in a world where digital and human workforces must coexist harmoniously. We believe that by integrating elements of play, our game can become a powerful tool in corporate training, enhancing skills that AI cannot fully replace—creative problem-solving, emotional intelligence, and interpersonal savvy. The anticipated benefit is twofold: it will prototype a powerful device to enrich the employee experience and boost leadership within organizations, and also provide us with valuable insights for further knowledge, market launch and partnership development.
