Gamification

The future of gamification will likely blur virtual personas and reality – where much of what we do is tracked, measured, and linked to personal and professional rewards. How will disagreements be resolved, and how will game dynamics evolve over time? But then again, how does it really differ today?

Gamification is the process of applying game theory to everyday life — including business life. The concept is simple: Redesign everyday routines and tasks — in everything from employee training and recruiting to product testing and sales force management — to be more game-like and interactive, ultimately enhancing work experiences to be more engaging, fulfilling, fun, and productive.

We live in a time when talent management tools, the nature of work, and the needs and desires of the future workforce are all converging in a way that enable us to reimagine the ways we hire, train, manage and engage employees. Those that take advantage of this convergence will win the future.
