" Optimizing Motivation, Learning and Behavior Change in your Serious Game" B...SeriousGamesAssoc
Scott Rigby speaks about "Optimizing Motivation, Learning and Behavior Change in your Serious Game" at the 2012 Serious Play Conference
ABSTRACT:
The goal of serious games is not the game itself. The game mechanics are but a tactic to the true goals of creating a deeper sustained engagement with users that results in deeper learning, greater behavior change, and sustained value. As such, the real key to understanding how to strategize, design, and deploy serious games in domains such as health, education, and training lies in understanding the basic psychological needs of users, designing experiences that facilitate these needs to intrinsically deepen motivation and achieve the desired goals.
This session will review a highly validated applied model of motivation - the "Player Experience of Need Satisfaction" - that is based in 30 years of behavioral science research using a leading theory of motivation (Self-Determination Theory). Examples of practical application in education, health care, and other domains will be given throughout the talk to provide the audience with clear, practical takeaways.
Delivering the “Internal Customer” ExperienceSrikanth Dhondi
While organizations make all kinds of efforts to enhance the experience of their external customers by investing in numerous training programs and marketing initiatives, the outcome is most often disappointing to say the least.
Customer loyalty continues to elude us and “Customer advocacy” remains a distant dream. More often than not its sheer “inertia” that prevents customers from switching.
One key aspect that could perhaps unlock the door to conquering the above challenge is by having a robust set of practices that will boost the level of “Internal Customer Centricity”.
This is because empirical research conducted by leading industrial psychologists clearly establish the link between the two aspects. In other words, it emphatically states that the extent of external customer centricity can never exceed the extent of internal customer centricity.
As a part of our endeavor to constantly partner with organizations such as yours to create customized customer centric solutions to business challenges. I am pleased to share a framework that I believe will serve as a useful filter to evaluate the relevance and efficacy of the numerous employee engagement efforts you are already making.
The framework is a synthesis of the best research that has been conducted in this area.

Playfulness can be observed in all areas of human activity. It is an attitude of making activities more enjoyable. Designing for playfulness involves creating objects that elicit a playful approach and provide enjoyable experiences. We have designed and evaluated a set of cards called the PLEX Cards and its two related idea generation techniques. The cards were created to communicate the 22 categories of a Playful Experiences framework to designers and other stakeholders who wish to design for playfulness. We have evaluated the practical use of the cards by applying them in several design cases. In this talk I will present an overview of the design rationale of the PLEX Cards together with a couple design cases where the PLEX Cards were used and evaluated.

Most managers can easily identify an employee performance issue, but what is difficult is effectively communicating this information. From the employee's perspective when their manager does initiate a discussion it can come across as finger-pointing and disciplinary. Naturally this approach causes most people to react defensively, leading to a confrontational exchange and a strained relationship. It can seem easier to avoid these conversations altogether, particularly when the issue relates to difficult to quantify and discuss behavior based issues. This session will teach an intuitive process for crafting hearable sayable performance feedback talking points to drive the change you are seeking while avoiding the difficulties that usually accompany these exchanges.
Gain practical skills to confidently take on those seemingly awkward yet critical exchanges in a far less stressful way.

Soccnx III - Measure, reward , enhance: leverage user adoption with gamificationLetsConnect
Speakers: Sasja Beerendonk
When implementing social software such as IBM Connections within your organisation you will find that user adoption is key to success. When confronted with social software that requires a different work manner and attitude employees often find themselves clueless how to get started. Using gamification you can guide your employees step-by-step into the right direction, and take them to a higher level of understanding and using the tool. Kudos Badges and Bunchball Level Up use gamification techniques to leverage adoption of IBM Connections. This presentation will outline how gamification can enhance employees' understanding of Connections and what it takes to collaborate in a social and open manner. Through points, badges, levels and leaderboards a user is guided in the right direction and becomes more engaged. What is gamification? What motivates us? How can gamification be used to leverage adoption of Connections so it can contribute to the organisation's business goals? How does Kudos or Bunchball work? From Maslow’s Need to Pink’s Drive you will understand the basic concepts of motivation that gamification uses. You will see a live demo on gamification for Connections.

32. The Challenge
Great games are hard enough:
Only 4% of games that go into production are
profitable
Add a “real world” activity and you multiply
the difficulty of success
Often not enough just to have the “form of a
game”
34. “Playing a game is the voluntary attempt to overcome
unnecessary obstacles” – Bernard Suits

35. Designing for Sustained Engagement
I. Establish a different user “contract”
A game is voluntary framework for the user experience
Obstacles desirable!
41. Designing for Sustained Engagement
III. Embrace the Domain; know the Audience
Corollary: Build the right team
42. Two Types of Motivation
Extrinsic Motivation – Behavior that is
motivated by contingencies (rewards,
punishments) that are separate from the
enjoyment of the activity itself
Intrinsic Motivation – The activity itself
is its own reward because it is inherently
satisfying. In particular, humans have
specific intrinsic needs that motivate.
43. 3 Drivers of Intrinsic Motivation
Scott Rigby - Immersyve
C COMPETENCE A AUTONOMY R RELATEDNESS
• Feeling “good at” • Freedom and agency • You matter to others ,they
• Exercising volition matter to you
• Expanding capability
• Meaningful connections
• Learning • Choosing
• Competitive, cooperative,
• Mastery • Many opportunities for
• Even removed: characters in
action
a book or movie, developers
of an app.
44. Competence, Autonomy & Relatedness: most
reliable predictors of engagement
(PENS) Methodology: Personal Experience of Needs Satisfaction
Approach uses statistical regression analysis to predict long-term engagement
• Multiple longitudinal studies with
20,000+ subjects PENS predicts
• Underlying psychological causality sustained engagement...
vs. solely outcome metrics (e.g.,
“clicks” or “fun”) “Fun” does not.
Competence, Autonomy,
Relatedness
Predictive power with
p values <.01
47. PENS design: Autonomy
Mechanics of Choice and Opportunity
Open Environment - Playground
Progression choices (focus, tree-structure)
Sense of purpose/volition
48. PENS design: Relatedness
You matter to others, they matter to you
Competitive cooperative
Reciprocity awesome; synchronicity, meh
Player to Player; P2NPCs; P2Dev; P2Brand
Clear effort applied on my behalf=Relatedness
“…Brave,
brave Sir
Hey! It’s the Robin…”
Hero of Kvatch!
I can’t believe it!
Wow!”

64. ROI- Broad Definition
Driving any metric the business or client is
willing to assign (or can calculate) a specific
monetary value
Challenges in calculating value:
Image Labeler (Google)
The Fun Theory (VW) ($250-$500K)
Bobber examples (401K provider, C.C. comp)
Goal is to understand and move critical
business metric(s)
Specific value calculation not in the scope of this
workshop
65. Value of Traffic
Page Views: how many people visited pages with
ads, and saw ads on them.
Page CTR: Clicks ÷ Page Views (%).
How good & well placed your ads
CPC/CPA: Avg. amount of money you are
earning (or paying) per click/action.
Page RPM : the average amount of money you
are earning per 1000 Page Views
$1.00 not bad. 1% conversion (10 clicks)*$0.10/click
66. CPC- Cost & Revenue
CPC : As cost: when trying to acquire users
Reducing CPC increases ROI
Increasing conversion (after click) increases ROI
CPC As revenue: Avg. amount of money you are
earning per click.
Increasing CPC increases ROI
So does increasing clicks- duh
Rates depend on what advertisers are paying.
Factors include:
○ Topic of your site
○ Demand
Sometimes goes up wildly, but only rarely.
69. Some simple calculations
High variance in Conversion metrics
Impact of relevance (site content & offers) is huge
Page Views & Time on site while not identical
track together (and have similar impact).
2X either (but only count one) ≈ 50%-100%
increase in conversion (don’t get full credit)
Virality “full credit” or better.
Peer recommendations much more effective
“Viral” users group together
30% virality ≈ 30%+ incremental revenue
30% virality = 43% more users for same cost
