Gartner Hype Cycle 2014: Gamification on the Through of Disillusionment

Gartner recently released their 2014 Hype Cycle for emerging technologies. Gamification is mentioned, as in the previous editions of 2013, 2012 and 2011 (gamification was not in the 2010 edition).

See A Brief History of Gamification: Part VI- The Predictions, to watch the evolution of gamification in the hype cycle since 2011.

Evolution of Gamification in the Gartner Hype Cycle

As expected, gamification is now on the "Through of Disillusionment", with a prediction to reach the "Plateau of Productivity" in two to five years. As Mario Herger puts, this is not a "bad thing":

Here [the "Through of Disillusionment"] we have realized that it is ‘just a technology’ with good qualities which has promising opportunities but turned out not the be the solution for everything. Technologies in this state are often regarded with a lot of criticism (‘’see, told you that it wouldn’t work”) until the real proper application is found and it fights its way back up the slope of enlightenment onwards to a plateau of productivity.

So, gamification seems to be on its journey to become an effective technology. It is expected that in two years it might be in the "Slope of Enlightenment".

  5. The focus on using Gamification in corporate engagement is to transform the workplace environment into a great place where everybody wants to perform and work well. Game elements and game mechanics are associated with particular extrinsic and/or intrinsic motivators to trigger expected behaviours. Gamification brings a fun and interesting narrative, lays down rules, provides challenges, and rewards.

  6. obviously like your website but you need to take a look at the spelling on quite a few of your posts. Several of them are rife with spelling issues and I find it very troublesome to tell the truth however I will definitely come back again.
