Forget points, leaderboards, competition. There are deeper principles in game design that apply to our teams and organizations — constructively.
Game designers create special modes of agency for players: they set goals, define rules, and provide abilities. We do this for our teams, too.
In this session, find parallels between team organization and game design. These can help us build stronger, more cohesive teams; enhance expertise; and sustainably improve business outcomes. All without the superficial, often destructive “gamification” we’re used to.
