And what are some best practices that can help you design gamification that works!

"The opposite of play is not work, but depression" I love that quote :)
This woman herself is a bright sunray! She must be very successful in creating a great and creative work environment! 😃
I never thought something like "gamification" could exist. I honestly hate how the job field is today: it's boring, it's stressful and your boss treats you like your a moron just being they do a poor job of explaining the job or motivating their employees to do the job. Most leaders motivation is firing the employees, and that is extremely stressful, and-for me personally-gives out some suicidal thoughts. What needs to be fixed in the job market is: try to open room to teach those, who want experience in the job, to get the experience they need without being shunned for not having those skills and get the experience through something that would actually get someone excited to do that job.
I can't believe the negativity in these comments. I have over 30 years of teaching experience, at postgraduate level, and have won awards for my teaching. This insightful, engaging and enthusiastic woman both inspired and informed me. I am fairly new to gamification, so perhaps other, more experienced commentators, may have higher expectations but I know a good presentation when I see one. This one is excellent! In areas where I do have considerable expertise I am still delighted when others explain basic concepts in admirable ways. Perhaps some of Janaki Kumar's detractors are just the slightest bit envious of the almost 50,000 views of her video??? I am!

Fantastic presentation!
I think that the presenter was very tense, you could hear that in her forced tone of voice and stressfull small breath-pauses. But I believe, she was just in stress from the crowd and was able to overcome it after a few other talks.
shes so cute
I wish she went on even more tangets, I also think she should talk a bit slower and put more pauses in between each sentence /s
Nice talk, she's way to enthusiastic though :D
Gamification creates a work culture of working smarter in increasing work output
سلام میشه لطفا زیر نویس فارسی رو تو تنظیمات استفاده کنید ممنون
Honestly if i worked in a company where they gamified stuff this way, I would feel insulted in my intelligence. Usually they say that when someone always smiles, he is trying to sell you something that does not work

If you really understand the meaning, value and importance of the task you have to perform, and on top of that they are paying you to do it, I think gamification is in your way to get the task done. Meaning and Money are the great motivators. If the task has no meaning you get bored and I don't think a game will make you like it, on the other hand if they are underpaying you to do certain task with gamification are trying exploit to you. Anyways, this video was the very fisrt aproach I've ever had on this matter, so I'll keep studying to see the benefits.

@@nelsongg347 the way you beat the system is to hit the system with shortcuts to do the same level of work.
Hmm... those are games, not gamification...
omg this extremely bod talk.
A fine overview of gamification, but not very innovative. I've heard/read many of what was told in several other places. The examples she gave of her own use of gamification seems more like simply playing games. Overall, fine but not truly impressive.
take an old idea, describe it (disguise it) using non-conventional thesaurus, and voila "TEDx - an idea worth streading" has been born. Inventors ripped off by patent attorneys who have no clue about subject matter is one of the applications of this umbrella-game. Btw, "-ize" is shorter suffix to form noun-derived verbs in English, and linguists say "Don't litter just find proper verb in dictionary."

Bro, I'm watching this at work. Wait till the real world really fucks you up, then you wil want to watch this again.
I haven't heard so much rubbish for a very long time . . .I bet she was a consultant for one of the big firms before
I am a manager, i think this is BS., I can prove it with data if both companies agree some how. I dont think it will happen, so my 20 cents. As a manager i am always in game mode, so are the employees. So we enjoy it better. We compare performance reports in open. Employees are allowed to share their problems and stuff in front of everyone. Its more open thing.
Booooooring
