If you want to change the way that people work within an organisation, you have to change the way you look at change itself, a good friend once told me.

I posted this on Facebook last week, and an interesting discussion arose. Come and join the discussion if you like.

Ok so I promised to start talking about Gamification and Augmented Reality, because there seem to be a lot of misconceptions about these topics out there. Let's start with gamification.

What many don't seem to realize, is that we all encounter some form of gamification at a very early age. Let me give a couple of examples:

Were you ever told as a child to start counting sheep when finding it difficult to fall asleep?

Have you ever been promised a reward in exchange for doing any kind of chore? Cleaning up your room before being allowed to go outside and play?

If you have, you have had your first encounter with gamification.

What other examples can you give? Have you had any personal encounters with gamification? Would be interesting to hear your experiences!
