Presentation: Gamifying your experience

Every year thousands of ideas fail to reach the light of day. Not because of a lack of merit or capability, but because they fail to engage people. Humans are at the centre of everything we do and whether you’re a business analyst or a designer, people should be at the core of your business.

Gamification gives us the tools necessary to engage an audience in a creative and surprisingly fun way that improves participant experience and helps achieve sustainable outcomes.

In this session, Alex provides an introduction into the world of gamification and how you can apply it into your new ‘business as usual’.
