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.
