THE ZEE WAY: Engaging Induction Experience with Gamification

Zee Entertainment Enterprises Ltd. (ZEE) wanted to develop an induction program that would give an overview of its businesses, history, culture, and policies and at the same time provide an engaging experience to its new joiners. Through the Hero's Journey created with Upside Learning, the employees traveled through seven different milestones, each covering a critical topic, and earned rewards to successfully complete the End Game and become "Extraordinary Together". Through a single, integrated experience, ZEE aimed to position its digital induction program as an opportunity for employees to get into the nuances of its values and culture, and in the process be inducted into the ZEE Way of working.

A winner of 3 Brandon Hall awards in Best advance in custom content, Best unique or innovative learning and development program, and Best advance in employee engagement categories, the program has received glowing feedback from internal and external stakeholders at ZEE.

In this talk we share the journey of creating this program, the outcomes, and learning from this experience.

How gamification boosted financing products sales for Koçfinans

Hear how BrandNewGame Turkey worked with Turkey’s first and leading financing company to increase product revenues by 47%. Even staff who'd never sold these products before started selling them regularly! As new players entered the market the competition in financing sector got fierce. Koçfinans decided to take innovative steps to differentiate in the sector. The key method was to use gamification for both digital and cultural transformation. This sales gamification project was award winning and has been published in Harvard Business Review Turkey. Since then the use of gamification has started to spread around other departments in the company too.

How can Gamification help to foster innovation in companies?

Gamification, when based on a proven methodology, is a wonderful tool to boost innovation. The benefits of Gamification are especially relevant when you want to boost innovation: more involvement, less judgment, better co-creation, more creativity... Different gamified tools and serious games can be used at the different steps of an innovation process: kick off, reframing problems, idea generation, innovation trainings... Since we are working mostly online, to co-create in teams is more difficult than ever and gamification is a perfect tool as it gives a structure, improve involvement and participation, increase team building, helps to improve the output...

In this presentation, I will explain what are from our experience (18 years helping companies to innovate and 5 years using gamification to do it) the key success factors to use Gamification to innovate and I will show step by step how we can go through the whole innovation process with Serious Games.

Failing to learn or learning to fail

We look back to look forward. We’re going to take a look at some initial learnings in gamification. A collectibles solution, a social solution and a wellness solution. Creating the right technology partners. Also, we look at how our audiences have changed and what has changed them.

And then we’ll look at how we took those learnings (some failures) and turned them into features. An in-house product is benefitting from these learnings and is receiving a “layer of motivation” in the form of a gamified user experience. We’re proud to show you what is coming up for this product.

It’s good to be wrong – discover how to keep employees engaged in training

Let’s face the facts – old school e-learnings are obsolete. Today our attention span is getting shorter and shorter. Employee time becomes the most precious currency. That’s why MPL Verbum developed Level.Up. It’s an educational game in the form of a website and mobile application, which, based on the gamified microlearning method, allows you to deliver knowledge in an engaging and accessible way. From giving you points even for mistakes and instant feedback to rewards both in game and real life. The best part? The average daily time in Level.Up is just about 6 minutes!

Learn how we did it, why employees love it and how from the project in one country we currently use Level.Up in over 20 European countries.
