                                            to incentives

                        Gamification is the intersection of
                        loyalty, game design and behavior
SOME EXAMPLES
EXAMPLE OF USE




                 Piano stairs
                 And less people use the escalator
GAMIFICATION IN ACTION




                         ��Nudge’ is about influencing
                         without economic incentive (choice arch.)
GAMIFICATION IN ACTION




                         Giving car drivers feedback
                         Who is the best eco driver?
GAMIFICATION IN ACTION




                         Leaderboard in a Facebook page

GAMIFICATION IN ACTION




                         Huffington post using badges
                         Reading & sharing creates status
SOCIAL NEWS BADGES




                     Facebook shows activity feed
                     If others are doing it, it must be good
SOCIAL NEWS BADGES




                     Klout is using achievements
                     (but what is the meaning behind them?)

                          (Autonomy & Mastery) + Purpose
                          Add something meaningful or it dies

                          Why are they there? (what
