Margaret is the CEO and founder of Playmatics. She began her pitch by saying that games have been around for thousands of years. Her definition of gamification is \u201cthe application of games mechanisms in non gaming situations, it\u2019s not about angry birds and such like\u201d she said. Why bother gamification? there are a lot of detractors of gamification Margaret said; the Gartner hype cycle is placing gamification at the very top of the Gartner hype cycle \u201cso you are here at the right moment\u201d she added. There are many ways that games can be inserted in business, such as Nike running, Ford\u2019s mobile app, energy orb (an orb which changes colour according to the status of the electricity grid) \u2026 even political groups are using gamification to recruit people Wallace said; Pdt Obama has a Foursquare account for instance. From then on she handed the floor to the other panellists.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-3078 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/visionarymarketing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/09\/image_thumb6-1.jpg\" alt=\"Gamification buzzword of real business opportunity?\" width=\"644\" height=\"477\" srcset=\"https:\/\/visionarymarketing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/09\/image_thumb6-1.jpg 644w, https:\/\/visionarymarketing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/09\/image_thumb6-1-405x300.jpg 405w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 644px) 100vw, 644px\" \/><!--more--><br \/>\n2. <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/courtstarr\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Courtney Guertin<\/a><\/strong> (above), Co-founder of Kiip was next on the stage and he presented the concept that he and his partner have designed. The idea was to reward users, through mobile apps and disrupt the mobile app space. In July 2010 they built a demo and started sharing this idea around them. They ended up raising $ 300 k. But \u201craising money is the easy part he said; the difficult thing is building the business\u201d. They then built the platform for rewards (thanks &amp; acknowledgements). They also wanted to avoid building something \u201cintrusive or annoying\u201d. The business model is simple. They charge brands and users are rewarded for their engagement. Among his advice were to understand that the team is everything, and to be prepared for difficult days too. He added that brands, at the outset, didn\u2019t realise that people of all ages were playing games. Not just kids but middle aged mothers and even people above 50 he said. Brands are now, after a few years, very knowledgeable about that and this is why gamification has got a bad name. What you really need to do is how you can create a great experience like this company that decided to change an escalator which no-one wanted to use, by turning it into a living piano; instantly people started to use this escalator for the sake of the experience that it was providing.<a href=\"https:\/\/visionarymarketing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/09\/image9.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" title=\"image\" src=\"https:\/\/visionarymarketing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/09\/image_thumb8.jpg\" alt=\"Gamification buzzword of real business opportunity?\" width=\"644\" height=\"449\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Andrew Trader <\/strong>(above), venture partner at Maveron was next. He has been part of the gamification world on both side: as part of the family team at Zynga and from the investment side too.\u00a0 The value of gamification in his mind starts with the value of relationship capital. This is what \u2013 in his mind \u2013 makes farmville so relevant. One has to try and incentivise users to engage more deeply; gamification mechanisms are similar in games like Farmville and business gamification he said.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/visionarymarketing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/09\/image10.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" style=\"background-image: none; padding-left: 0; padding-right: 0; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; padding-top: 0; border-width: 0;\" title=\"image\" src=\"https:\/\/visionarymarketing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/09\/image_thumb9.jpg\" alt=\"Gamification buzzword of real business opportunity?\" width=\"644\" height=\"426\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/joshuadw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Joshua Williams<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0 (above) from <a href=\"http:\/\/microsoft.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Microsoft<\/a> jumped in the conversation at that time.
