Large-scale gamification transforms learning dynamics into levers for collective engagement
- It promotes the appropriation of complex issues (AI agents, Algorithmic Governance, Data Ethics, contribution to the climate/biodiversity trajectory,...) through lived experience rather than by the sole injunction
- It creates transversal spaces for dialogue, conducive to the de-siloing of organizations.
- It reveals talents that are often invisible in classical formats by mobilizing emotional intelligence and cooperation.
- Finally, these very varied devices (“frescoes”, game board, digital appropriation path, etc.) embody a detour pedagogy, where the game unlocks situations or launches an initiative in a memorable way.
In short, gamification is the art of bringing out meaning where you thought you were playing.
And Ground Control is a Serious game specially designed so that in 2026 and 2027, Legal Departments can take control of their large-scale identification by creating specifications for their AI agents powered by their LLM or CLM being acquired.
Why Ground Control?
Today, everyone is talking about AI to save time and reinvest that time in customer relationships, monitoring, legal and contractual creativity. The meaning is clear... but the desire is lacking.
Three main reasons:
- Complexity: AI agents require structured reasoning, cascading decisions, and automated actions.
- Data risk: The challenge is no longer the algorithm but the data — accessible or not, accessible or not, trained or not, secure or not, inside the company or outside
- The volatility of major models: the market is constantly evolving, with very different risk profiles, especially in terms of integrity, confidentiality and sovereignty.
Teams need to move quickly... but they don't have a compass.
That's why Waldenlab created Ground Control: an educational tool that gives back meaning and desire by telling a story.
Offer a navigation system in the choice of AI agents
Ground Control allows a team to collectively answer three questions:
- What are our priority use cases?
- How can we design together the AI agent that will implement them?
- What are our data vigilance points?
It is a navigation system designed for lawyers/lawyers: operational efficiency + data governance.
And above all, a tool that plays down the drama of AI: We get out of individual vagueness, we make collective decisions
In 90 minutes, a team gets a clear, shared vision, and a solid AI roadmap.
The principles of the game: speed, cooperation, controlled gain
Ground Control is a cooperative game with five players.
In a large group, several tables can play in parallel — like at Transfos du Droit.
For each use case:
- Potential productivity gains are noted.
- We are setting data governance to zero (integrity, confidentiality, sovereignty).
- The process is described in stages.
- Three collective decisions are made: 1. what data should be mobilized? 2. which language model should you choose? Where do you put the human in the loop?
Every decision changes productivity and governance. Then we move on to the next use case. The game reveals a reality: not all use cases have the same potential or the same level of risk. It is also a ranking tool for a future AI charter.
Why does it work?
An animator takes care of the setting, but the game is self-animated thanks to delegated roles :
- Business Partner: clarifies the use case and pushes automation.
- Workflow Engineer: guarantees the reasoning and the quality of the process.
- LLM Strategist: summarize the issue and advise on the model
- Data ethicist: Challenge the human in the loop.
- Data officer: advises on data access options.
Why it is essential now
AI is a subject instantaneous :
- performance (use cases),
- competence (think “agent”),
- governance (data goes beyond company borders).
Those who advance are not the ones with the best tools, But those who have a method.
And Ground Control is this method: aligning teams, securing decisions, turning AI into a strategic advantage for your organization. This is why Ground Control is a tool where your Leadership as a manager and manager of legal teams is expressed.
AI is not a destination, it is a journey. Ground Control is your cockpit.
