Gamify-Cover_80x125-strokeGamification uses game thinking to encourage team members to meet their goals or accomplish specific tasks. Many organizations now use it to improve training, engage customers and drive innovation.

When used properly, gamification can deliver strong business results and engage your target audience. Unfortunately, most organizations need help to achieve this.

That's why we're delighted that author Brian Burke offers useful advice about this in his book, "Gamify." In it, he shows us how to design and implement a gamification strategy that really gets results, and that engages the right people to benefit your organization. He also explains the best times to use this tool, and when to avoid it.

The most successful gamification strategies put the needs and goals of the players first, rather than those of the organization. In the audio clip below, we hear how one company, NTT Data, used gamification to transform its internal training.

In turbulent times, mid-to-long-term planning lets you and your organization focus on the things you can control – and at least be aware of the things you can't. Get it right, and you'll keep a handle on who you are as a company, what you want to achieve, how you’re going to do that, by when, and with what effect.
