Second Module







The Financial Times needed to create a data protection training plan for their employees, since working remotely rose as an option during covid as well as post-pandemic.

The idea was to create a less expectedly sterile, instructional video and a more interactive, engaging learning process. Here’s an innovative and engaging module that uses a Real Adventure Player (Sims-like) style to put the learner into the role of a new journalist at the FT. It aimed to increase the uptake of this training and result in fewer data breaches by giving learners a chance to experience this for themselves. It highlights the importance of a vigilance with data through individual stories of people changing behaviour and practising self policing told in an anecdotal way. Emulating the conversations one has around people’s problems with data breaches and making it more meaningful.


Fan fact: Some of the spaces, such as the pub, were recreated upon existing locations, having adjusted certain aspects according to the needs of the module and following the FT colour palette.
