Simply defined, gamification uses game mechanics and rewards for non-game applications in order to increase engagement and loyalty, solve problems, change behaviors, and achieve business objectives.
Gamification is an important and powerful strategy for influencing and motivating people.
The good news is that Gamification...
- does NOT mean making a computer or a video game, and expecting it to motivate people
- does NOT mean employees will be playing games instead of working
- does NOT mean inserting a 'jeopardy' type game into your training program
- does NOT require coding skills for designing a gamification strategy
It means taking the concepts around games and using them in an authentic way to drive the behavior you want to get.
This week let's go back to the basics and learn why Gamification works, in what context it is most effective, and what the limits are to this approach of employee and customer engagement.
Gamification... it's more than fun and games!!
