Gamification & Behavioral Design Workshop by Yu-Kai Chou

The 1st Octalysis Framework Workshop in Malaysia!


On the 1st November 2016, Talent Intelligence organized the Gamification & Behavioral Design Workshop that was conducted by Yu-Kai Chou, the world's Top 5 Gamification Guru. Yu-kai, the author of Actionable Gamification: Beyond Points, Badges, and Leaderboard is known for the Octalysis Framework, a human-focused gamification design framework that lays out the eight core drives for human motivation. 

The workshop mainly focuses on the eight core drives: epic meaning & calling, development & accomplishment, empowerment of creativity & feedback, ownership & possession, social influence & relatedness, scarcity & impatience, unpredictability & curiosity, and loss & avoidance.   Almost all games appeal to certain core drives inside us and motivate us towards a variety of decisions and activities. The Octalysis framework suggests that if there are no core drives present, then there is no motivation, and no behavior will happen. Yu-Kai further explained on the Octalysis by giving out real life examples for each of the core drives so that the attendees were able to closely relates to it.



To enhance the experience of the workshop, Talent Intelligence uses SelfDrvn, a gamification platform in the form of a mobile app to increase the engagement of the attendees. The attendees were able to participate in real-time poll questions, real-time evaluation, interact with each other and much more. 

This workshop is such an important feet for Talent Intelligence as it opens up the company's journey in the gamification space in Asia. As Talent Intelligence planned to organize Asia Gamification Conference together with Talent Ecosystem Conference in 2017, it is important that more people are exposed to gamification & behavioral design. Due to that, Talent Intelligence has taken the steps to become the 1st licensed partner of The Octalysis Group in Asia.
