Here are some guidelines developed from multiple implementations of games and gamification within organizations.
One:
Be cautious of programs described as “gamified”; the term is being used in various ways, so be sure the program fits your purposes. Examine the gamified intervention to ensure the emphasis is on learning and not simply on winning.
Two
Educate management and leaders within the organization on the educational value of games and gamification. Often managers and others will react negatively to employees “playing games” instead of “serious study” so they must be educated on the value of games and gamification for learning and personalization of instruction.
