Gamification Advisory & Consulting
Organisations are constantly seeking new and creative ways to engage their customers and employees.
Gamification, a technique that uses game design elements to engage users in non-game contexts, is one such approach. It can be used to create engaging and interactive experiences that motivate people to learn, to take action, and to achieve their goals. This can include things like tracking progress with points, badges, and leaderboards; motivating people with challenges and rewards; and creating engaging experiences through storytelling and narrative.

Understanding the audience
The first step is to understand the audience that you are trying to engage. What are their needs and goals? What motivates them?
Using the right game design elements
Once you understand your audience, you can start to incorporate the right game design elements into the digital experience to engage them.
Measuring the results
It is important to measure the results of any gamification initiative to see if it is effective; and to recalibrate it appropriately over time.
