Endorsements Blurbs:
Octalysis is a powerful and pragmatic framework to understand human nature and positive motivators that encourage people to do their best work. It should be required reading for anyone building, managing, or collaborating with a team, community, or ecosystem.
Susie Wee, VP at Google Core Experiences
Yu-Kai's Octalysis framework is a powerful addition to the tool kit of any creative professional. It provides a designer-friendly structure to connect information and insights with just the right amount of rigor to provoke fresh ideas.
David Webster, Partner & Executive Director at IDEO
The Octalysis Framework is invaluable throughout our product launch process, from ideation, mockup, competition analysis to our user interface audit. We believe gamification will be at the forefront of many enterprise and B2C software and Octalysis is leading this movement.
Anthony Di Iorio, Co-Founder of Ethereum and CEO of Decentral
Yu-kai shows us that gamification is about customer centric thinking, and certainly much more than adding game pieces to our customer experience designs. His Octalysis framework is a guide by which we can construct our services to resonate naturally with our customers. This way of thinking will lead us to design products and services that engage our customers, and motivate them to interact with us more frequently and over a longer period of time. The end result is greater value for the organization.
Paul Brown, Chief Underwriting Officer of AIG
Yu-kai's book makes gamification practical. It is chock full of specific examples, suggestions for implementations, and pitfalls to avoid. Actionable Gamification is a gold mine of insights, and those who study and practice what it offers will have a powerful toolkit of incentives for business and personal contexts. Run, don't walk, to get your copy - I highly recommend it.
