Something better at work

A schematic of one learning journey. Screens and documents shown on this site are labelled as samples; they are not client results.

Our method

Prepare online. Put the learning into practice together.

Learners build their understanding at their own pace before the live session. Facilitators then guide them through practical exercises, real situations and feedback. Follow-up assignments and coaching help them use the learning in their day-to-day work.

  1. 01

    Learn at your pace

    Learners complete self-paced text, video and resources on the Potential.com platform.

  2. 02

    Practise with experts

    Live time is used for cases, role-play, decisions and coached exercises — not a replay of the content.

  3. 03

    Use it at work

    Each learner tries a defined task at work with manager or coach support.

Three ways to work together

Commission content, run a program, or bring in the right expert.

Each is a service you can buy on its own. Combined and maintained over a year, they become a managed academy.

Multilingual Content and Curriculum

Commission curricula, assessments, text, PDFs, videos and learning resources designed for your audience and languages.

Build learning content around your people, priorities and languages.

Flipped Learning Programs

Bring online preparation, practical workshops and workplace application into one supported journey.

Prepare online. Practice together. Apply the learning at work.

Facilitation and Coaching

Match your learning challenge with facilitators and coaches who support practice, reflection and improvement.

Bring experienced facilitators and coaches into the work your teams need to do.

Managed academies

The recurring combination of all three: a maintained curriculum, scheduled cohorts, language expansion, expert delivery and periodic outcome review.

The work

Seven ways the same idea can reach a learner.

Video is one part of a learning package, and the format is a teaching decision before it is a design decision. Watch them here — 7 finished production samples in English and Arabic, nothing loaded from YouTube until you press play.

Production samples from the Potential.com group, shown here to demonstrate format and craft. They are not client case studies, and no learner results are claimed for them.

EnglishOn-screen subtitles

Hand-drawn line illustration

Monochrome line drawings with colour picked out in the on-screen type. Works well for breaking an abstract idea into two or three parts a learner has to hold in their head at once.

Arabic

Arabic flat-design motion graphics

Built in Arabic, not subtitled into it: the type, the layout direction and the icon set are all composed right-to-left. This is what a genuinely localized asset looks like next to a translated one.

English

Illustrated character scenario

Full-colour scenes with recurring characters, for showing a situation rather than explaining a concept. The natural fit for a service interaction a learner will later role-play.

English

Numbered step sequence

Each step lands as its own numbered panel and stays on screen as the next arrives. Useful when the learner has to remember an order of operations, not just an idea.

English

Bold concept contrast

Heavy black line work with a single accent colour, built around setting two ideas against each other. Good for a distinction learners routinely get wrong.

EnglishOn-screen subtitles

Live action on location

Filmed footage with narration and subtitles. Where a program is about a real place, a real service standard or real people, this carries more weight than any illustration.

English

Cinematic character animation

Rendered characters and lit interiors, in a regional setting. The most expensive register on this page — worth it for a flagship program opener, hard to justify for a routine lesson.

Match the format to the learning job

A concept a learner keeps getting wrong needs a contrast. A sequence they have to perform in order needs numbered steps. A conversation they will role-play needs a scenario they can recognise. The style is a teaching decision before it is an aesthetic one.

Production effort is not evenly spread

Line illustration and motion graphics scale across a library. Filmed footage needs a location, a crew and a schedule. Rendered character work is the slowest to change once approved. We price these separately for that reason.

Decide the language before the storyboard

An asset composed in Arabic is not the same as an English asset with Arabic subtitles bolted on, and retrofitting the second into the first costs more than building both from the start.

A film on its own does not build a capability.

Every one of these is preparation. On its own it can explain something; it cannot make anyone better at doing it. In a program, a video like these sits before a live session, and the session is where learners practise what the video described — which is the whole point of preparing online.

What we confirm before quoting

  • The learning objective each video carries, and whether video is right for it
  • Scripting, storyboarding and the number of review rounds included
  • Languages — composed in each, or produced once and subtitled
  • Reviewed captions, transcripts and an accessible alternative per asset
  • Voiceover, music and stock licensing, and how long those licences run
  • Whether you receive editable source files or finished renders

These samples demonstrate production style. Captions, transcripts and language variants are scoped per program — a subtitled video is not by itself a localized one. All 7 on YouTube.

Where this is going

A game is a course someone finishes.

These three are live, free and playable right now. Each one started as an ordinary course topic — starting a business, consultative selling, personal money — and became something a learner chooses to keep doing. We can build one around your topic.

StartupGame.me

Turn a passion into a business, and learn on the way.

The player picks something they care about — cars, baking, football, flowers, anything — and builds a business around it. Customers arrive, react to decisions and keep coming back or do not. The desk becomes a stall, the stall becomes a shop.

Topic:
Starting and running a small business
For:
Aspiring founders and existing small-business owners
Length:
24 missions across 8 chapters

What the player practises

  • Finding who you are actually for
  • Making and pricing an offer
  • Reading why a customer said no
  • Running one real experiment outside the game

Authored customer encounters with AI follow-up conversation, one real-world step per chapter, and a reflection on what actually happened when the player tried it.

SalesGame.me

Upload your own product. Sell it to a committee that pushes back.

The player uploads a real product or service, and the game builds a market around it: an ideal customer profile, five fictional companies worth different amounts of effort, and a buying committee with its own politics. Then they have to win it.

Topic:
Consultative B2B selling
For:
Sales and channel teams
Length:
Six stages, about one deal per sitting

What the player practises

  • Qualifying out early instead of chasing
  • Discovery that finds a pain the buyer did not volunteer
  • Handling an objection without conceding the deal
  • Mapping who actually decides

Prospect, pitch, discovery, objections, power map, committee. A generic seller loses. A pushy one is punished. Discovery questions are scored on what they surface, not on how many were asked.

WealthGame.me

Earn it. Spend it smart. Grow the rest.

The player lives from 16 to 25 at four decisions a year. A fad costs them. A phone depreciates. A loan on the wrong thing follows them for years. At the end they are compared against two characters who earned exactly the same money and handled it differently.

Topic:
Personal money management
For:
High-school students, ages 16 and up
Length:
Ten years of a life, about 15 minutes

What the player practises

  • Spending less than you earn, repeatedly
  • Telling an asset from a liability
  • Seeing what inflation does to money left in cash
  • Judging a decision by where it lands in ten years

Consequences arrive years after the decision that caused them, which is the one thing a lecture about compounding cannot do.

The topic comes first

We start where any program starts: what should someone be able to do differently afterwards. The game is a delivery format for that answer, chosen the way we would choose a workshop or a video.

Consequences, not quizzes

What makes these work is that a decision pays out later — a customer who does not come back, a buyer who closes down, a loan that is still there in year nine. A quiz cannot do that, and neither can a video.

Built on the same platform work

AI characters that respond to what the learner actually said, scenario generation around the client's own product, and an anonymous measurement layer. The same engineering carries across topics.

Not the answer to everything

A game earns its cost when judgement improves through repetition and delayed consequence. For a process someone needs to follow correctly on Monday, a job aid and a practice session are cheaper and work better. We will tell you which one you are looking at.

What would your topic look like as a game?

Tell us the capability and who has to build it. We will come back with the shape a game would take, what it would take to build, and whether we think it beats a workshop for your case.

A complete journey

Inspect a real learning package, without a login.

The curriculum map, a self-paced lesson, a captioned video, an assessment example, a facilitator exercise and the job aid the learner takes to work — one journey, end to end.

Where two languages are ready, you can compare the equivalent assets side by side. We never publish live assessment answer banks, private coaching material or client learner records.

Consultants and facilitators

When a workshop has to happen in a room.

We bring in senior consultants to deliver in person. We match on capability area, sector, the languages a person can genuinely facilitate a complex session in, format and real availability — and every facilitator gets the objectives, the readiness findings and the rubrics before they deliver.

Evidence

We report participation as participation.

Our reports keep access, learning, demonstrated practice and use at work separate, with the denominator and the limits alongside the finding. A pre-post increase does not on its own establish that training caused a business result, and we will not present it as though it does.

Common questions

Before you get in touch.

Can you use our existing materials?
We can review and adapt materials you are authorized to use, then identify what needs updating, restructuring or supplementing.
Can you create multilingual versions?
We scope the required languages across content, assessments, media and delivery. The proposal confirms which versions are available and which need to be developed.
Can you deliver face to face?
Yes. We design face-to-face activities around practice and application, with facilitators matched to the topic, audience and delivery requirements.
Can we buy content or facilitation separately?
Yes. You can commission content, arrange a scoped intervention, or combine the services into a complete program.
Where does online learning take place?
Our programs use the Potential.com platform. If you need materials for an existing learning system, we will assess the required formats and integration as part of scoping.
How will we know whether it worked?
We agree the learning objectives and evaluation approach before delivery, using assessments, practical outputs and follow-up evidence appropriate to the program.
