Gamification 101Game Mechanics & Dynamics
GAME MECHANICS are tactics commonly used in games to encourage gameplay. – Badges, points, leader boards, levels, challenges,
achievements and virtual sheep you can put on your virtual farm.
GAME DYNAMICS are strategies commonly used in game design based on psychological motivations: – Appointments: someone does something to gain a
reward– Avoidance: someone does something to avoid a
punishment, – Free Lunch: people feel they are getting something
because of their behavior.

Case #6: Global Sales teams for annual Kick-off eventsSAP and Cisco reach global, distributed sales teams
SAP “Lead-in-One” Since most Sales Managers dread the somewhat cumbersome task of assigning incoming sales leads to their account executives, SAP developed a golf-themed iPad application on top of the process. Golf balls are leads, and holes represent the sales reps.
Cisco, The HuntA geographically and culturally dispersed sales force raises
challenges when it comes to introducing dozens of new products and technologies each year. Cisco wanted The
Hunt to have global reach, to educate, to build collaboration, and to be fun. This demanded new ways of
storytelling and new ways of thinking. The Hunt was quick and intense, unfolding in real time in just two weeks.

“Gamers tend to be more motivated than non-gamers to be connected to others, and they display a higher than average propensity to interact with brands on social networks...”

Gamify!
My perspective:
I’ve never met anyone who didn’t want to be a super hero…. Or want some form of super hero super power.
So why not give your customers | consumers | employees | prospects that super hero feeling?
Create a win/win experience!

Gamification Strategy from Bunchball
1. Map your goals with your user’s interests.
2. Prioritize the actions you want your users to take.
3. Develop a point scale system based on the value of the action.
4. Use levels to keep users coming back.
5. Make visually appealing badges and trophies that impress.
6. Add rewards and prevent users from gaming the system for them.
7. Use real-time feedback on progress.
8. Leverage groups and teams so folks collaborate and push one another.
9. Post leaderboards.
10. Integrate social media.
11. Mobilize the effort..

Before adding a Game Layer; do you have a Content Strategy? Social media program? User Experience (UXD)? Clear vision and objectives – with KPIs – for
what you hope to accomplish through Gamification? The vision includes post campaign/program
“then what?” scenarios/program.
Commitment from executive sponsors and key stakeholders?
Funding and resources?
Think Gamification is for you?
