FUNIFICATION: Gamification Re-Defined
At its core, gamification applies various game mechanics to non-game activities so as to
trigger specific behaviors. In a business sense, gamification is the process of integrating
these game mechanics into everyday tools such as a website, business service, online
community, content portal, marketing campaign, mobile applications or even internal
business processes, in order to enhance user experience and engagement for target
audiences.
The overall goal of gamification is to more deeply engage with consumers, employees,
partners and other audiences so as to inspire them to participate, collaborate, share and
interact in some activity or community. A compelling, dynamic, and sustained
gamification experience can be used to accomplish a variety of mission-critical business
goals. This is FUNIFICATION.

4. Gamification has been used for ages in various
situations to engage targeted audiences online...
GAMIFICATION IS EVERYWHERE
Educational with Duolingo
Rewards programs (Delta Skymiles, AirCanada, etc.)
Social Networks (Linkedin, Facebook, Twitter, etc.)
E-Commerce site (Amazon, eBay, etc)
5. But also offline…. Such as…
GAMIFICATION IS EVERYWHERE
The Worlds Deepest bin…
To throw rubbish in the bin instead of onto the floor shouldn’t really be
so hard. Many people still fail to do so. Can we get more people to
throw rubbish into the bin, rather than onto the ground, by making it fun
to do? See it here.
Piano Staircase…
”Take the stairs instead of the escalator or elevator and feel better” is
something we often hear or read in the Sunday papers. Few people
actually follow that advice. Can we get more people to take the stairs
over the escalator by making it fun to do? See it here
The Speed Camera Lottery…
The winning idea of the fun theory award, submitted by Kevin
Richardson, USA. Can we get more people to obey the speed limit by
making it fun to do? This was the question Kevin’s idea answered and
it was so good that Volkswagen, together with The Swedish National
Society for Road Safety, actually made this innovative idea a reality in
Stockholm, Sweden. See it here.
Bottle Bank Arcade Machine…
Many of us return our plastic bottles and cans. Noticeably fewer recycle
their glass. Maybe that's because we don't get any money in return, as
we do for cans and plastic. Can we change this attitude by making
recycling glass fun to do? So you are not just rewarded with a good
conscience, you also get a smile. See it here

MILLENNIAL ?
Millennials have surpassed Baby Boomers as the nation’s largest living
generation
Millennials, whom are defined as those ages 18-34 in 2015, now
number 75.4 million, surpassing the 74.9 million Baby Boomers (ages
51-69).
The Millennial generation continues
to grow as young immigrants expand
its ranks & has taken part in many
important transformations from
shifting ways of communicating and
using technology, to changes in
parenting practices, educational and
career choices, and shifts in
homeownership and family life.
Corporates like LinkedIn & Oracle are hiring “Millennials Consultants” for their
expertise on how to manage and market to Millennials

10. BUSINESS USE CASES
Gamification Case Studies and they results
EXAMPLE: LARGEST BRASILIAN BANK - Caixa Econômica Federal
With more than 200,000 employees and more than 75 million customers, the Bank created a gamification using the Funifier platform to
encourage bank customers to use digital channels. Most customers prefer to conduct their financial transactions with a teller. The gamification is
being used to engage customers to conduct their transactions through mobile and internet banking application.
Through the gamification, customers earn rewards points when they utilise the bank’s mobile application, perform transactions via internet
banking as well as when they invite friends using these channels. Customers also participate in monthly draws of various incentives such as
smartphones and travel packages.

11. BUSINESS USE CASES
Gamification Case Studies and they results
EXAMPLE: ELO CREDIT CARD INSTITUTION:
A Brasilian Credit Card Processing company wanted to gain a larger market share in a specific
region. The company has created a mobile application to be able to expand the network of
establishement that will be accepting the card.
The App directly engages & rewards the 315,000 employee of various financial institutions to push
the new card into various retails spots around the area by means of enhancing the player experience
and rewards it with prizes to be won. Scoring, check-ins, awards, newsfeeds, social pressure and
market place are one of the many game techniques used.

Currently has over 1,600,000 active establishments
315,000 Employee at the banks are ambassadors
12. BUSINESS USE CASES
Gamification Case Studies and they results
EXAMPLE: INSURANCE COMPANY – WIZ (SalesForces Gamification)
This gamification was created solely to engage with a team of 1,500
sales staff of insurance broker to hit their targets.
Sellers have personal sales goals for each of the various products
marketed by the company. Funifier was used to keep the sales team
focus on business goals, as well as the possibility of personal financial
gain they can obtain if they reach their goals.
Custom Design and Gamification running through Funifier was
incorporated into SalesForce so as to measure the player's progress in
each segment and calculate sales bonus that he will receive. Every time
the player advances the system presents feedback to engage him even
more.
One of the interesting points of gamification was the use of the "Last
Mile Drive" game technique that kicks in when the player is close to
reaching a goal so as to inform him how much more sales he needs to
perform and how long he has so as to attain the maximum goal.

13. Funification Case Studies and they results
BUSINESS USE CASES
EXAMPLE: MAJOR ATHLETIC CLUB - CECAF
A common problem among athletics clubs is the difficulty of retaining customers. Most them
simply stop going to the club after the first few months. To reverse this scenario, it is necessary to
enhance the client experience from the start and for that to happen you need your club staff to
provide a good service and create a connection between them and the customers.
With gamification, customers began evaluating staff’s services who then appeared in weekly
leaderboards of the top performers. With the completion of check-in at the athletic club,
customers accumulate points to exchange for food supplements. In addition to that, a number of
challenges can be carried out individually or in groups encourage the customers to interact with
each other. All customers now receive feedback and have the daily feeling of progressing. And all
staff now are eyeing the ranking and striving to provide the best service.
Staff service is evaluated by students
Employee productivity increased by 116%
Clients accumulate points to spend on Supplements
14. Some keys principles to ponder on before you start…
BEST PRACTICES
Know your users, master the journey, involve them
and multidisciplinary teams at the early stages
Design for your users – be the Sherpa not the
mountain
Define clear KPIs and dare to measure what has
never been measured before
Playtest, again, again and again.
Dream big, but start small, then expand.
Collect data & feedback so as to improve over time
KISS – Keep It Simple & Smart, at all times.
Novelty, bring it often & in iterations
If it’s business related, don’t forget that it’s
business related!
It’s a marathon, not a sprint. You’re in it for the long
run.
Be transparent, it’s the key for success!
It does not have to be fun, but Exciting
Be smart is using game mechanics, specially the
PBL (Points, Badge, Leaderboards)
Keep as many touchpoints between the players
and the end application
