Gamification: Application & Implementation Strategies
Gamification in Talent Development has been a hot topic in recent years. Industry leaders and practitioners promote the perceived benefits of increased engagement, collaboration, and entertainment, while others criticize the lack of proper motivation and pedagogical approach in the midst of growing market hype.
In this session, we will compare/contrast gamification, game-based learning and serious games – the three most common approaches to adding game mechanics/dynamics to enterprise learning. We will review strategies for application of gamification within your already existing learning strategies and Instructor-Led Trainings (ILT) and/or e-learning programs. We will discuss how to align with ROI expectations and measurement as well as strategies on overcoming internal resistance for implementation.
Do not miss this opportunity to:
Gamification—the use of game thinking and game mechanics attached to work—is infiltrating workplace practices and cannot be dismissed as superfluous.
Gartner predicts that by 2015 the online gaming industry will be worth $112 billion globally and that within this year more than 70 percent of global organizations will have at least one gamified application.
Dinner for this event will be hors-d'oeuvre style with variety of delicious cold and hot finger food prepared specially for this event!
