The ‘Reputation Point‘ functionality in SharePoint 2013 provides an essential building block for a great GAMIFICATION strategy within your organization. So this week, Thuan‘s question is based around gamification…
What type of game would you like to implement in SharePoint to improve adoption and collaboration of your end-users ?
(for example, Football prediction game: every user has its own account (Active Directory) to predict the result of a game in a Premier league 2013-2014 and after the game, if their prediction are correct then they get points. We will have some gifts for top 3 scores ;-))
Win-an-eBook Wednesdays is a small three day contest that we hold every week. The Prize? An O’reilly eBook for your choice! Furthermore, if you win, you also get the chance to ask the community whatever question you want and be the judge for next week’s contest!
This week’s judge is Thuan winner of last week’s contest!
You have until Sunday, May 26th (10pm GMT) to answer this question!
Currently gamification is going to depend, in my opinion, of your business users daily activities are rooted in SharePoint. If your users are using SharePoint as a “launching pad” to get to other custom applications, then potentially getting them to adopt SharePoint might be a tough proposition.
Since we use NewsGator, I can say that some of the Gamification is built into that product. Badges can be setup according to social activities, profile completion and other additional tasks. So building a “learn it as you use it” type scenario (almost every game uses this method to get users adjusted to controls, interactions in a new game) is not too difficult.
Recently as part of this, the business raffled off an iPad Mini – selecting only users who had a complete profile setup in SharePoint. Â
