The Americas in the Face of Low Oil Prices (brown bag luncheon)
The unprecedented rise in US oil and gas production has led to dramatic change in global energy markets. The steady increase in US supply, demand slowdown in emerging markets, and other drivers fueled the fierce competi-tion for market share and the ensuing drop in oil prices from a high of $100+ dollars a barrel last July to around $50 today. While low prices benefit con-sumers, producers face a tough road ahead.

Using Games to Change Behavior at Work
Byron Reeves, Using Games to Change Behavior at Work. The engagement of people at work has taken on increased importance as we learn that engagement increases productivity and that engagement is often in short supply. New social media, and in general a consumer sensibility to information work, offer new ideas about how to design work that maximizes engagement. This presentation will review new engagement technologies and psychological research that is the basis for new solutions with emphasis on the most popular form of new media -- multiplayer games.
Free and open to the public on space available basis.
