RCM ThinkLabs vs. ELB Learning.

Last reviewed 8 October 2026

ELB Learning's Training Arcade and RCM ThinkLabs both use play to hold attention. The Training Arcade turns existing content into template-based games such as Jeopardy and Trivia, with leaderboards and reports. RCM ThinkLabs runs a continuing story where people make real calls, and measures how their judgment changes.

RCM ThinkLabs is the human capability layer for AI transformation. People play immersive micro-sessions of a few minutes a day, built on MIT game-theory research, and make real calls inside a continuing story. Leaders get a measured record of how each person's judgment changes over time across three capabilities: specification, verification and conviction.

Where ELB Learning fits

You want to make existing content interactive. You want template-based games with points, badges, leaderboards and team tournaments. You want reports inside your LMS.

Where RCM ThinkLabs differs

A game built from your content checks whether the content landed. RCM ThinkLabs looks at what a person does when there is no right answer on the slide. People make calls inside a story, and the record shows what they specified, what they checked, and whether they held or changed their view.

Using both

RCM ThinkLabs sits beside content review games. It shows whether people's judgment improves.

What RCM ThinkLabs does

Judgment with AI, in three capabilities. Specification, verification and conviction: who defines the problem, who checks the answer, who holds or updates the view. Human-AI collaboration

People come back by choice. At one deployment, 70% played daily and nobody was assigned. The evidence

A measured baseline in 30 days. Every person is measured against their own baseline, and the record updates after every session. How the baseline works

For the early-career person

The work that built judgment is disappearing.

AI took over much of the work people used to learn on. The responsibility stayed with them. Document review, first-pass analysis, routine reporting: the everyday work that taught people how to think a problem through is the work AI took first.

They are making calls that matter, with real people on the other side, having rehearsed none of them. RCM ThinkLabs gives them the rehearsal: a few minutes a day, with private feedback after every session.

For the manager

See who is growing, and where to coach.

RCM Advisor is the manager's AI colleague. Each person is measured against their own baseline, by capability. It is for development, and it is not a ranking.

Questions leaders ask

Is RCM ThinkLabs an ELB Learning alternative?

For making existing content interactive, no. For measuring judgment over time, yes.

Do people need to build anything?

No. Capabilities are agreed with you before anyone plays, and it runs in the browser.

Does RCM ThinkLabs use leaderboards?

No. Each person is measured against their own baseline, for development, not ranking.
