There’s a lot of buzz around gamification, and plenty of confusion about what it really means to gamify a corporate training or eLearning program. One thing is clear: It’s much more than just adding badges to your training. It’s about finding the right motivators for your audience and promoting the desired actions or skill sets without getting bogged down in meaningless measurements and mechanics.
Real-life programs from organizations such as Brown University, Amazon.com, Wyndham Properties and more, will reveal how and why Gamification works, in what context it is most effective, and what the limits are to this approach of employee engagement in corporate training and talent development.
Use gamification mechanics and motivators to generate needed change and enable your organizations to meet your business objectives. Through hands-on application combined with anecdotal and empirical data, you will experience the good, the bad, and the ugly of gamification strategy design so that you can prepare your training leads to run their own gamification programs.

22. How it works: Terry the Turkey
starts out with no feathers.
From the map of
Thanksgiving Woods, click on
a feather to receive a
question.
If the question is answered
correctly, you earn a feather.
The goal is to get as many
feathers as possible.
A passing score = 22/25. If
you pass, you get a happy
turkey.
If you fail, your turkey
explodes!
The Rules
23. Collecting
Terry the Turkey is an example of an HR Compliance training with a goal of 100%
participation in an annual review of regulatory policies. A simple narrative that
engaged the learners, made the learning fun, and achieved their compliance goals.
Imagine the typical learning complaining about not having enough time to take the
course, yet choosing to take it twice, to engage in the fun of the narrative.
