1. Organizations face unprecedented levels of change due to macroeconomic forces, dynamic workplaces, disruptive technologies, and new business models.
2. These forces include issues like sustainability, economic crises, an aging workforce, the pace of technology adoption exceeding the rate of adoption, and disruptive competitors.
3. To succeed, organizations must engage their employees and customers through gamification to address challenges like globalization, new stakeholders, and public/private partnerships.
4. The speaker will discuss how gamification can help organizations prove value by moving beyond transactions to employee and customer engagement.
Essential Tools for Product Managers and Marketers (Oct 2011)Jesse Gant

Web 2.0 best practices: how to optimize your product, business, and viral growth using metrics.This is Dan Olsen's presentation from the 2008 Web 2.0 Expo in SF entitled "Web 2.0 Product Management: Optimizing Metrics and Viral Growth".
You’ve Only Got Two Eyeballs: Designing Products for the Responsive WebDavid Sherwin
People expect to access and use the products that they love everywhere that they go. With an ever-increasing number of different smartphones, tablets, computers, wearables, and televisions that allow us to view websites, this makes our jobs as interactive designers even more challenging. Are you helping them focus on what they really need to get done, on the devices where they need that functionality the most?
In this workshop from HOW Design Live 2016, which was led by David Sherwin and Drew Bridewell with about 250 people, we shared techniques to help teams:
● Prioritize what product features will have the most value for your users across smartphone, tablet, desktop, TV, wearables, and other devices—so you’re investing your time and energy into the right features in the right places
● Validate your product assumptions and hypotheses through paper and digital prototypes, so you can start building those features intelligently
● Plan the implementation of your product features for development in a modular, componentized manner that makes them easier to test and scale
Along with workshop activities rooted in the above techniques, we shared how we used similar approaches in a redesign of the learning experience of Lynda.com as a responsive web product.

Organizations are increasingly turning to platforms such as IBM Digital Experience on Cloud to meet today's digital business requirements. As IDC's research has shown, organizations that use IBM Digital Experience have realized significant business benefits, including increased revenue and quicker time to market, reduced costs and improved staff productivity, and increased customer and employee engagement.

Gamification and the power of boosting engagement: Steve SimsBen Gilchriest
Presentation from a recent, joint Capgemini - Badgeville event in Sydney, Australia on the role of enterprise gamification in digital transformation.
This presentation, from Steve Sims, VP of Badgeville's Behaviour Lab, focuses on how gamification can boost engagement. It covers the background theory to game design and worked examples with real results that supports the theory.
Capgemini Australia's Digital Transformation practice, focused on helping our clients find, size and catalyse digital opportunities, and Badgeville, the #1 gamification and behaviour management platform, work in partnership to leverage innovative gamification techniques to accelerate digital transformation in major organizations by engaging, rewarding and motivating employees and customers.
28 startups accelerated, 13 products launched on the global market, more than 1 million USD seed funding raised. Check out the results of the MVP Academy alumni.
Prototyping is not a new concept, but the role it plays in the design process has changed dramatically in the last few years. Proliferation of agile methods and the grassroots nature of design thinking have opened up new opportunities where research and design happen simultaneously. New tools for building digital prototypes have given design teams numerous options from very simple demos to complex proof of concepts.
The Devbridge Design team shares their experience and explore cases where prototyping has driven the design and research process. With varying levels of complexity and fidelity, each has had a different outcome.

Also, ads to acquire new customers are sexier.

Thank you –so I am Dawn Wolfe, a Sr. marketing Manager in the ecommerce team Autodesk—For those of you not familiar with Autodesk, you probably are familiar with some of our software products—we are best known for AutoCAD which is used in the architecture/engineering world for design…or some of our software products used in the media and entertainment sector like 3ds max, Maya and softimageSo my current team is in digital marketing within the eccomerce group--and one of our areas of focus is the marketing we do in-trial to persuade free trial users to become customers . So our team is responsible for figuring out how to convert these thousands of trial users into customers. We are focused on driving sales conversions for prospects that are in the preference phase of the sales funnel-- And today I will be talking about a very specific sales conversion marketing that we do within our trials.
Autodesk, Inc., is a leader in 3D design, engineering, and entertainment software. Customers across the manufacturing, architecture, building, construction, and media and entertainment industriesincluding the last 15 Academy Award winners for Best Visual Effectsuse Autodesk software to design, visualize, and simulate their ideas. Since its introduction of AutoCAD software in 1982, Autodesk continues to develop the broadest portfolio of state-of-the-art software for global markets. For additional information about Autodesk, visit www.autodesk.com.
Here is a history of what we had done in the past with this product to make the trial experience engaging.First, the baseline approach that doesn’t work. Why do we do this if we know it doesn't work? Well, we have an annual release cycle with all our products coming out at the same time all over the globe. To support this global launch initiative, we go out the door with baseline and all the products look the same. Plus, we get the halo effect on sales from the products being new, so the first 30-60 days after launch is when we have to do the least "sellingHere is an approach that we took to make people get the most out of the trial experience. This is more of a gateway to existing content than it is a sales tool. Here are some cool tutorials to check out while you have the trial, here is some new stuff in this year's version, and here is this awesome community of CG artists managed by Autodesk that can help you out if you have a problemThis worked really well. We saw a tripling of engagement (measured as clicks on content - although admittedly this metric really isn't fair because there is a lot more content to click on in the new version)The metric we really care about and measure for these kinds of initiatives is trial usage. We saw a 14% increase in trial usage over 3 months after we launched this approach. A measurable, statistically sound, 14% increase in trial usage, just by showing people how they could possibly do stuff with their trial. Huge win.Someone once told me that adequacy is the enemy of excellence, so we continued to iterate. We know that a large number of users of 3ds Max are sole proprietors or work in very small companies that catch some overflow or outsource work from larger game studios or VFX houses. And we know from talking to our product marketing teams that a lot of these people are doing this to gain the experience needed to move up to one of the big studios. So we leveraged some good timing and launched a new version during Oscar season, using the Oscars as an opportunity to feature our customer who had been nominated for best visual effects using Autodesk tools. The subtext of this message is that this is the tool that the big boys use, so you better be using it too.Side note, every year for the last 17 years the winner of the best visual effects Oscar has used Autodesk tools to create their award-winning entertainment, including Hugo, the 2012 winner, featured here.The results of this oscar promo were mixed. We didn't see any significant change in trial usage, but we saw a reduction in engagement with the content we made available in the trial window - probably because of the reduction in stuff to actually click on.

"Enterprise Gamification"IntroductionGamification for WorkAnd, per Kevin's request: the Ecosystem that's popping up. You seem to best articulate our story about how gamification is being embedded across the enterprise in all employee-facing apps, enterprise systems, business processes, that social software and social CRMBadgeville is at the beginning of something and what we do is the next evolution, etc.
We’ve had some great presentations today. Social media
This is a seamingly innocent question. It’s just 2 to 3 years from now. But Imagine what’s happened in the past 24 months. Did you have control or any semblance of control over your profits, revenues, idea creation, new products were introduced, collaboration points, your community, or customer experience? Were you able to effect and affect change? Did you have the right tools to create the conditions to manage the change ahead?Now put yourselves in the mindset of an enterprise or brand. How can you improve your business outcomes?These are the questions you and your organization face amidst massive changes ahead…
There are 4 massive forces of change ahead of us. Of the 4 only 3 we can control and let me focus a little on these. Each of these can be improved by influencing the behavior to drive improved outcomes.5 generations of workersWhere, how, when, what, how you work,and even why. We’ve seen compensation surveys that show that salary alone may not be enough to attract, motivate, or retain folks.For one of our clients, it turns out that mentorship, a day off, being put on special projects is more of an incentive for 20 to 30 year olds and 30 year old veterans than a bonus.Business models – products are excuses to sell services. Services are excuses to sell information. If you’ve activated the advocates, you can cut create force multipliers and shift support staffing from 1 to 100 customers to 1 to 500 and even 1 to 1000. Providing a crowdsourced support solution can give you. Swarming game mechanics can improve outcomes, identify experts.Tech adoption – One big shift is also how we put together a series of disruptive technologies, payment mechanisms, social, mobile, cloud, big data, gamification. What technologies to we adopt and what we pass on become signifcant decisions. One thing is sure, the convergence of these technologies is driving adoption and social is the gateway in.
The big push to social businesses provide an opportunity to reengage the customer. But keep in mind, none of these tools sustain engagement on their own. These are communications channels that can be enhanced with engagement. Social alone won’t get you there for both internal and external. Which is why, we need gamification. Recent data on number of users at the Big 4 of social media show that we are in the middle of ubiquitous usage:Facebook (901M users as of Feb 2012)Twitter (500M users as of March 2012)LinkedIn (161M users as of March 2012)Google+ (100M users as of Feb 2012)
Overload, too many social channels – internal networks, external networks, personal networks, a new social media tool launched once every 24 hours. Everyone wants to collaborate, work with each other. Every brand wants you to join their community. Can we handle all the pressure?76% of brand conversations happen offline 14% of brand conversations happen by phone8% of brand conversations happen onlineHave we hit a social media plateau? In recent client conversations on usage of social media, the trendsetters appear to be “socialed out”. Most early adopters seem to be overwhelmed with their personal (Facebook, Google+), corporate (Yammer, Jive, Chatter, SharePoint), and professional (LinkedIn) social networks. In fact, respondents feel that adding any additional network for anything social is quite overwhelming. While early adopters are moving from ubiquitous usage to relevant rationalization, the majority remains in ubiquitous usage (see Figure 1). Have we hit a social media plateau?

In fact, respondents feel that adding any additional network for anything social is quite overwhelming. While early adopters are moving from ubiquitous usage to relevant rationalization, the majority remains in ubiquitous usage (see Figure 1). Recent early adopter surveys identify five key phases of social media adoption:Phase 1: Eager early adopters. Users eagerly experimented in the newness of the medium. Early adopters attempt to apply the medium to everything.Phase 2: Ubiquitous usage. Rapid adoption put the medium in the hands of the masses. Adoption exceeds 50 million users.Phase 3: Relevant ratonalization. Brands and enterprises apply the medium to the right business use cases and processes.Phase 4: Desensitization and fatal fatigue. Inundated with marketing, bombarded with irrelevant content, and tired of the newness of the medium, customers begin tuning out.Phase 5: Rejuvenation. Maturation of the medium ushers an improved era of engagement apply the Six C’s of Engagement.

Gamification describes a series of design principles, processes and systems used to influence, engage and motivate individuals, groups and communities to drive behaviors and effect desired outcomes. For brands and enterprises, results include improving marketing response among external communities, sustaining long-term customer loyalty, encouraging collaboration among internal teams, or driving onboarding success with new hires.Gamification is more than bolting on feature sets to an existing process or system. Simply adding a badge, points, leaderboards and levels will not drive results. Success requires a design that fits into the architecture of the system and considers the relative value of rewards for the actions being incentivized. This level of influence or behavior management must start during the initial design and account for the relative value systems and culture of the individuals.Interviews with 55 early adopters show gamification being applied across many use cases. Adoption spans a wide variety of roles from marketing to human resources (see figure 1). Based on interviews and analysis, Constellation has identified three core pillars of enterprise gamification (see figure 2):

Level 1: Reputation. This first level focuses on highlighting success and engaging novices. The key themes drive extrinsic behavior. On average, early adopters find that 15-25 percent of a community will engage for recognition. Over 60 percent will be influenced by recognition.2. Level 2: Access. This second level builds demand for association and attracts intermediate users. Non-monetary incentives create value and scarcity around access to resources, people and tools for improvement. Early adopters find that 5-10 percent of a community will seek access as an intrinsic motivator. Over 80 percent will be influenced by a desire for greater access.3. Level 3: Impact. While this third level mainly appeals to power users and advanced users, impact appeals to the entire community from an aspirational level. At this level, bragging rights and incentives align with impact to the organization. Early adopters have found that 1-5 percent of a community will achieve this status. Less than 10 percent of the community will be influenced by impact. However, those that achieve Level 3 demonstrate the greatest levels of allegiance and loyalty.

Recent interviews with over 100 early adopters of social business (i.e. social crm, E2.0, social media marketing, etc.) indicate five phases of maturity (see Figure 1). Social CRM progress through five phases including: Discovery. A few individuals begin the process of discovering new tools. Individuals identify consumer tech innovations that impact enterprise business processes. Leaders must discern hype from reality and garner executive support.Experimentation. Small teams experiment with new tools. They fail fast on experiments, learn, and move on. Leaders must foster internal collaboration and begin the process of vendor selection.Evangelization. Small department leaders seek repeatable processes and begin test pilots of technology. Momentum begins to build for projects. Leaders incorporate social into business models and track meaningful business metricsFormalization. Successful evangelization leads to enterprise wide acceptance. Processes become repeatable and predictable. Leaders scale to match demand and ensure long term-funding.Realization. With a successful project at hand, the enterprise seeks to expand the usage to ecosystem stakeholders. Suppliers, partners, and customers are brought into the fold. Leaders anticipate convergence and develop social business governance plans.
