As you consider methods of creating engaging and meaningful learning experiences, seriously consider the use of board and card games. They are often less expensive to develop than digital games, offer a great deal of flexibility and are a wonderful tool for teaching higher level thinking skills, practicing sales pitches and bringing together different areas of the organization.

A basic motivation is essential to successfully complete a training program. Why is it important that the student take the training? Getting participants to start the program by sharing why the training is important to them increases completion rates. In the case of corporate training, the reason may come from the organization’s leadership. For example, a high-level leader may share the importance of the program for the organization and set expectations for the team.

E-learning is becoming more popular as technology improves and organizations look for ways to make training easier. One of the biggest challenges with e-learning is increasing completion rates. Although the courses

Building your own gamification solution is a risky and complicated business and can result in the insertion of game mechanics into your system that are not thoughtful, not easy for users, nor engaging or rewarding. If that is the case, users won’t use gamification and therefore it won’t be beneficial to them or the organization. Instead, choose a vendor with proven strategies to boost engagement and increase player satisfaction.

Derrick Pope, Director of Enrollment at CSU-Global Campus, recently launched one of the first gamified enterprise experiences for higher education employees. He’s written some great blog posts detailing the process that led him to choose gamification (and eventually opt for Centrical). In his blog...

There is nothing complicated or impossible. You just need to set the right goals and competently approach the task. In order for the game to attract attention and please with the results, it is important to provide simple rules, good bonuses, and, in general, interest in development. Goals should be set as achievable and realistically feasible, supporting the competition. Don’t forget about the marketing campaign either. It can be simple, but effective advertising, without fanaticism and unnecessary costs.

Gamified public health and civic innovations have a proven track record of success where governments and NGOs have been brave enough to try them. The country’s laws must change to enable this kind of widespread incentivization. Of particular note, a Federal law prohibits the use of incentives for voting. This law — and our public policy framework — should be revisited and amended, for the common good.

This year I got a pretty amazing birthday present: a public example of highly effective health gamification. Namely, Ohio’s Vax a Million campaign, which is giving away $1M per week to residents that get vaccinated. Vaccinations jumped 28% total, with weekly vaccinations increasing by over 50% wee...

Life is hard and then you…play Games are part of our culture, all of our youngsters play them. But why? First of all it’s nothing new, really it isn’t. Humans have played all kinds of games for thousands of years. Not only humans play, animals do it as well. Look at little kittens, they play t...

If accompanied by an education campaign, people could start making informed decisions on the content they consume. Because of the prevalence of such trust scores, I believe most consumers would be comfortable with the basic premise of analyzing a score before deciding to act. It’s not dissimilar to looking at the mutual friends list when someone friends you on Facebook or elsewhere. The social proof is a kind of quick “reference check”.

In the decade-ish since the second coming of social media, global democracy has been severely impaired by the spread of fake news. I believe that using gamification techniques could substantially re**rd this phenomenon and reset

In the 1980s, American economic professors began to question classical economic theories as they relate to individuals. This led to the creation of behavioral economics, with the focus on how people actually behave rather than how classical economic theories predict they will.

__________ In the multi-billion dollar field of sales compensation programs, there is one topic that seems to generate more research, debate and division than all others: What is the most effective approach to incentives, recognition and rewards — cash or non-cash?

It has become somewhat of an annual tradition for me to write up what I see as the main trends for gamification in the world of work. I am a bit later this year in comparison to previous years, to be honest I tried to outsource this post, because I felt it would be one of the easiest for. If someone to run with, but then I was proven wrong. Gamification is stil a niche area and by most other writers confused with gaming. So to be clear we are talking about gamification for use in the workplace and in learning settings, which as far as I can see are still non-game scenarios (although that could be argued).

2022 has some new developments which in previous years I would have put on the longer term future focus for workplace gamification, this year some of these have made on to the list because we have actually seen developments in the space and some active use cases. When I look back at my 2021 predictions and those that went before, they have definitely inspired many a similar blogpost (do give us credit, pretty please) and some are carrying over into this year because they remain relevant in my view. Let’s look at 2022.
