Why Gamification?
Gamification is relevant today because of three key forces.
Gamification
It works because of the way our
brains are wired.
It matters because today’s
workforce is shifting to a
game-infused culture.
It’s possible because of a
convergence of technologies.
Science Culture Technology
Why does it work? Why does it matter? Why is it possible now?

provided for each achievement and mission. At the beginning of each quarter, the scores
reset to zero to reset the playing field and encourage ongoing collaboration.

Missions
Across the three tracks of Connect, Contribute and Champion there are a group of
MISSIONS made up of TASKS or ACTIVITIES. These missions serve as a ‘guide’ and provide a
sense of progression.
• Connect missions have to do
with connecting to
content, people and
communities.
• Contribute missions related to
uploading content, sharing
insights and having other
people interact with your
content.
• Champion missions are
connected with interacting
with other peoples
content, blogs, posts and
videos.
