"Incentive programs are ubiquitous in corporations, but there are serious flaws in how they have been implemented, particularly for executives. For an incentive system to usefully support a firm's long-term, society-focused agenda, companies need to lessen their reliance on financial rewards to motivate top management, strengthen share-ownership requirements and stock-vesting conditions for senior executives and board members, and change CEOs' perception of compensation as a tool to "keep score" vis-à-vis their peers and bolster their own egos."

Organizational culture powerfully influences a company's performance — or at least we say so. I often hear executives reassure me that projects will get done because "we have an execution culture," or that customers will be well taken care of because "we have a culture where the customer comes first." At the same time, culture is also one of the great rationalizations for managerial shortcomings. Many times I've heard that a project was delayed because "we don't make quick decisions around here," which is the managerial equivalent of "the dog ate my homework."

"There are a few sensations in life that manage to thrust us into action, or provoke us to work without a motive. Sensations so powerful that we fall victim to a form of altruistic amnesia. We’re driven by its hidden motivational forces and we forget the benefits are for someone else. In short, neither lack of advantage nor lack of compensation deter us."

"Gamification is a hot topic for consumer applications. It is changing the way the companies, especially the start-ups, design their applications. The primary drivers behind revenue

and valuation of consumer software companies are number of users, traffic (unique views), and engagement (average time spent + conversion). This is why gamification is critical to consumer applications since it is an effort to increase the adoption of an application amongst the users and maintain the stickiness so that the users keep coming back and enjoy using the application.

This isn’t true for enterprise applications at all."

"Like many other platforms, including popular networks such as Facebook, Empire Avenue caters to human psychological factors and uses game techniques to reward participation and encourage a participant to willingly "give up" what is truly valuable in business--data.

"La "gamification", ou utilisation des mécaniques de jeu pour d'autres applications, est un des gros buzz du moment. En janvier 2011 s’est tenu d’ailleurs le premier Gamification Summit. La gamification consiste essentiellement à se demander ce qui nous attire tant dans les jeux puis d’en extraire les recettes fondamentales, afin de les appliquer hors du cadre ludique. Au cœur de ce processus se trouve l’idée que le gain de points, l’acquisition d’un statut, sont des moteurs d’amusement suffisants pour encourager les utilisateurs à recourir à un service. "

"If a company wants to change its culture to one where positive risk management is at its very core, then analysing and making improvements to the various strands from which the culture of a company is made up can provide a valuable way to effect this change.

Five key questions on using reward as the driver for change

"Gamification is the use of game play mechanics for non-game applications (also known as "funware"), particularly consumer-oriented web and mobile sites, in order to encourage people to adopt the applications. It also strives to encourage users to engage in desired behaviors in connection with the applications. Gamification works by making technology more engaging, and by encouraging desired behaviors, taking advantage of humans' psychological predisposition to engage in gaming. The technique can encourage people to perform chores that they ordinarily consider boring, such as completing surveys, shopping, or reading web sites "

He ends the article with this: “Each contingency is an arrangement of time, activity, and reward, and there are an infinite number of ways these elements can be combined to produce the pattern of activity you want from your players.”"
