"This book introduces the potential of gamification and games to solve the great societal and organisational challenges that corporations and public institutions are dealing with today. It is written for innovation professionals, entrepreneurs, game designers, and students who seek to understand and apply the potential of gamification and games in different organisations. The essential insights from this book build on results from the European GAMIFY project: It leverages the knowledge of more than 150 experts we interviewed and the lessons learned from developing games responding to innovation challenges in leading European firms. GAMIFY stands for 'Games as Methods to enhance Innovation and Entrepreneurship'. The project was motivated by the observation that games and gamification have been successfully used to increase productivity within organisations, and in isolated initiatives, also to facilitate the innovation and entrepreneurship (I&E) capabilities of organisations."
