According to Brian Burke of Gartner, “Applied to innovation, gamification can motivate people to share their ideas within a community… encourage people to build upon the ideas of others… and take part in something larger than themselves.” That crowdsourced approach and collaboration could lead to the next billion dollar offering. At the forefront of driving innovation across the company and for their customers, Booz Allen Hamilton understands what it takes to launch such a large initiative.
In this session, you will hear from Booz Allen Hamilton and Badgeville:
- How gamification can drive innovation across the enterprise
- Lessons learned from using gamification to drive innovation
- Case study of how gamification has worked at Booz Allen Hamilton
- Demonstration of gamification for innovation

Tangible and intangible rewards users achieve through positive
participation and accomplishment
Social proof and group collaboration experiences are paramount
to individual success and engagement
Strong messaging with the user and their opportunities as the
focus, not just about the program or changes
A good game design shows users the paths through a program
and highlights the high-value opportunities for them to succeed
Understanding users and their motivations and goals is key to
designing a program they want to participate in

How many are you implementing innovation programs this year?
Innovation has been long been recognized as an essential component of almost every organization, but remains elusive to many.
There are many dimensions of innovation that Karen will talk about a little later but I think we can all agree that Innvation is very complex and it is often a challenge to know where to start.
When we started to look at driving Innovation at our firm, it wasn’t that people lacked ideas, we found that they didn’t know where to begin…We invested in the tools and technology but realized it wasn’t about tools or process. It was about people.
What drives individuals is different than what drives an entire organization – and the interaction between these factors can directly impact how effective you are at solving complex problems. Before trying to implement any sort of Innovation capability, you need to focus on factors you need to address and we knew that our people were bright and we needed to offer a path….
There needs to be a shift that puts the people doing the work at the center.
Tracking the actual behaviors individuals are performing opens a new realm of analytics that were previously underutilized or unavailable.
Culture is formed by the collective habits of a team or an organization. The goal of innovation programs should be to create a sustainable, enduring set of habits for the workforce - one that inspires the creativity, sense of mission and unlocks the hidden talents and interests of your employees.
Innovative people need opportunities to continually grow and learn, as well as have a sense of real meaning to what they do every day. We designed our People Programs to provide our staff those opportunities and inspire them to reach for more:
How many of you are using points and badges to incentivize employees?
There is a human side of technology that is often overlooked.
Identify and harness user motivations
Design and outline preferred paths to influence behavior
Apply social and game mechanics to reinforce desired behaviors in existing tools
Design Principles
Offer extrinsic rewards that feed a core intrinsic desire
Provide opportunities for self-growth
Help people find opportunities and a place to belong
Reward with Status, Access, Power, Stuff (SAPS) in that order
There needs to be a shift that puts the people doing the work at the center.
Tracking the actual behaviors individuals are performing opens a new realm of analytics that were previously underutilized or unavailable.
Giving workers performance feedback through data visualizations and dashboards ensures transparency and empowers the workforce.
Each person in your team brings unique experiences, education, skills, abilities. You will have 5 minutes to get to know them a little bit better and 5 minutes to come up with your Tech Tank Team Name
Use your time wisely….
Key Insight: Participants are completing milestones early or on time
Key Insight: Tech Tank Data Science Participants are engaged
Key Insight: Participants are going above and beyond
Key Insight: Participants are staying involved
Impact – A new group of highly technical employees to be on the front lines of new and interesting work.
This is the proven BAH methodology which we have executed in multiple programs across the firm.
These are your goals
Get caught in analyzing this way…
Dimensions of Innovation Management
Strategy and intent - objectives and incentives for innovating
Processes and practices – process model for managing innovation

High level top
How do you get people to WANT to innovate?
Innovation Not top down mandate
Not grass roots,
Need to meet in the middle
Top down… meets bottom up user centric s
Goals – see from Gartner and others…
The key is to get them to want to participate are tools and motivation
+Being able to understand correlations between activities
Increase Program Awareness
Increase Knowledge of Best Practices
Increase Asset and IP Creation
