[Deming’s Red Bead Experiment](https://blog.phenomecloud.com/featured-blogs/demings-red-bead-experiment) uses statistical theory to show that even though a “willing worker” wants to do a good job, their success is directly tied to and limited by the nature of the system they are working within.

This week’s [e-learning](https://blog.phenomecloud.com/engage-your-learners-by-going-the-extra-mile-in-e-learning) challenge is to come up with an interaction, simulation, lesson or quiz to demonstrate “The Red Bead Experiment.”

So, we created a small interaction, where the learner collects the beads each day for three days. At the end, we had a manager give feedback on the learner’s performance based on the requirement to collect only white beads.

## Design

We gave it a dynamic industrial background design, using elements that support the action flow between the bead wagon and the crane when the learner intervenes.

## Technology

We developed this interaction on Red Bead Experiment using Articulate Storyline 2.
