SmartSim, the new online microcredential platform presented by CompanyGame
In a context marked by technological acceleration, the transformation of business models, and the constant evolution of professional profiles, universities and companies face a common challenge: how to train talent that is truly prepared to make decisions in real, complex, and uncertain environments.
At CompanyGame, we take this challenge a step further with SmartSim Academy, a learning platform developed in collaboration with the Universitat Oberta de Catalunya (UOC) that redefines how professional skills are developed through simulations, artificial intelligence, and personalized learning.
The challenge: closing the gap between education and the labor market
For years, the educational system has prioritized the transmission of theoretical knowledge. However, today’s labor market demands something different:
analytical skills, decision-making, strategic thinking, uncertainty management, interpersonal skills, and professional judgment.
SmartSim Academy was created with a clear objective:
to reduce the gap between what is learned and what is actually needed in the professional world.
It’s not just about learning concepts, but about training skills in action, facing situations similar to those students and professionals will encounter in their daily work.
Learning by doing: simulations at the heart of learning
At SmartSim Academy, learning is structured around training simulations designed to recreate real-world scenarios in business, management, leadership, entrepreneurship, and strategic decision-making.
Each simulation allows participants to:
- Analyze incomplete and changing information
- Make decisions with real impact on the scenario’s development
- Observe the consequences of their choices
- Receive immediate and structured feedback
This approach turns learning into an active, practical, and meaningful experience, far from traditional models based solely on static content.
Artificial intelligence for personalized learning
One of SmartSim Academy’s key differentiators is the integration of artificial intelligence applied to learning.
The platform can:
- Assess each participant’s strengths and areas for improvement
- Adjust the learning path based on profile, decisions, and performance
- Provide contextualized, actionable feedback
- Support the learner throughout the entire learning process
This ensures that each user experiences a unique, personalized learning journey, adapted to their pace, level, and needs, maximizing learning impact.
Microcredentials with academic rigor and practical focus
SmartSim Academy follows a microcredential model that combines:
- Technological innovation
- Academic rigor
- Orientation toward real-world competencies
The microcredentials are co-created with academic institutions and organizations, ensuring that content and assessments meet university standards while also aligning with professional requirements.
This approach enables flexible, modular, and certifiable learning pathways, particularly valuable for university students and professionals undergoing upskilling or reskilling.
Real impact for universities and companies
SmartSim Academy is designed to bring value to multiple stakeholders in the educational and business ecosystem:
For universities:
- Improved student employability
- Methodological innovation based on learning by doing
- Clear evidence of competency acquisition
- Easy integration with LMS platforms
For companies:
- Training focused on real-world performance
- Objective assessment of competencies
- Talent development aligned with business challenges
- Scalable and measurable learning experiences
The result: talent prepared to decide and act
The true value of SmartSim Academy lies not only in its technology but in its ability to transform the way people learn and prepare for the professional world.
Students and professionals gain not only knowledge but also judgment, confidence, and decision-making skills in complex environments, bringing them much closer to the realities they will face outside the classroom.
At CompanyGame, we continue to champion simulation-based education, artificial intelligence, and learning experiences with real impact.
