When discussing adult learning, gamification is an engagement strategy referring to different ways we can create intrinsic and extrinsic motivation. Human psychology plays a huge role in this idea! When done well, gamification can engage learners and help to instill autonomy, value, and competence in their roles.

So, what does this mean? If you gamify training content, goals, and change management projects you can grab a person’s attention and prioritize vital organizational goals! Below are a few ideas to get your business started in harnessing the power of gamification.
