GARFIElD - Gamification of Automation stRategies For InDustry 4.0

fRIDAY 27TH NOVEMBER

10:35 – 11:05

Funded by the Swedish Innovation Agency, Vinnova, GARFIElD, was a two-year scientific demonstrator investigating in what way gamification could contribute to the required mechanisms and proposed strategies for professional success through the workplace digital shift to Industry 4.0. One project segment investigated “The War for Talent” and how HRM processes such as employee pre-boarding and on-boarding might benefit from a gamified approach.
Talk highlights:

  • A description of the participatory design and procedure developing the gamified artefact (a gamified on-boarding app for smartphones)
  • Game elements, design principles, and heuristic applied in the gamification ecology
  • The applications presentation layer (frontend) and interface
  • Primary findings regarding the user and initial assumptions on improvement
