INNOV8 - a Business Process Management Simulator

INNOV8 is an interactive, 3-D business simulator designed to teach the fundamentals of business process management and bridge the gap in understanding between business leaders and IT teams in an organization. This type of serious gaming - simulations which have the look and feel of a game but correspond to non-game events or processes such as business operations - has emerged as a successful method to train students and employees and accelerate the development of new skills.

Are you a professor at an MBA program looking for a fun, innovative (and free) way to teach Business Process Management? IBM presents INNOV8 , a state of the art 3D business simulator that takes you through the entire lifecycle of discovery, collaboration, and optimization of a company's business processes.

Below are two links about the game, one is a YouTube video from USC professors and students, and the other is the link to download the game itself.
