Power of Gamification – Impact on Business, Social and Economic Development
Leicester City Football Club Victory Parade and Selected Images celebrating Success
Welcome to the GAETSS May 2016 E-Newsletter.
I make no apology for using the success of Leicester City Football Club in becoming premier league football champions to
illustrate how important gamification concepts could be in today’s society. This importance is not just about the impact that
winning the league championship will have on the Leicester City Football Club but the success also provides wider lessons we
can draw around how gamification concepts (sometimes enabled by technology) can shape the future of businesses,
communities and economies.
Leicester achieved this season what was regarded as an impossible dream. So unlikely was the prospect of Leicester winning
what is arguably football’s premier competition that the bookmaker’s odds of 5,000 to 1 at the beginning of the season were
described as more unlikely than finding the Loch Ness Monster or Elvis Presley alive. To win by a margin of 10 points in a
competition which is based on 38 football games over a season is no fluke or random event but something which has been
achieved by a group of people sharing a common vision, motivated by inspirational leadership and supported by collaboration
with a whole network of partners in a “win-win” ecosystem.
What makes Leicester’s success so special is not so much the remarkable “against the odds” achievement but more the
response of the citizens of a city which has not known success like this in 132 years of the football club’s existence, eclipsing
even the remarkable find of King Richard III’s remains in a car park.
I was delighted to share in the celebrations along with almost 250,000 people and the atmosphere in the victory parade through
the city was captured by the slogan on many people’s shirts and flags “We’ve only gone and won the Premier League!!”,
expressing in one sentence surprise, pride and humility at an event which most people in the city regard as a “one-off”, “never
to be repeated” occurrence. This was the city of Leicester’s “moment in the sun” both literally and metaphorically, their 15
minutes of fame.
It is this response to finding the city suddenly catapulted into a global spotlight through the efforts of a relatively small number
of people who are totally unconnected with and have no responsibility for the social and economic development of Leicester
which will transform and shape the future of Leicester and its citizens. Unlike the bigger, heavily financed clubs from London
and Manchester for whom success is almost an expectation, the Leicester success will inspire a whole generation of citizens in
the same way that the 1966 World Cup win inspired the British people for decades to come.
For me, it brought back memories of the ComKnet project in 1998 when we sought to use the impact of a former citizen of
Market Harborough (and Leicester), Thomas Cook, to inspire the citizens of Market Harborough to a common vision of making
this small market town a leading innovator in the use of disruptive communications technologies. The ComKnet project was a
journey that took me to Downing Street and led me to discover a High Tech Milkman, a senior BBC Cameraman and a special
effects film expert employed on the Harry Potter films on my doorstep. You can watch a video of the ComKnet story on YouTube
at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8hm4AkNbTlM.
The key Gamification elements that are common to all these stories are Challenges, Goals, Rewards, Intrinsic Motivation,
Teamwork, Relationships, Measurement and Feedback. What the Leicester City Football Club achieved for the citizens of
Leicester can provide a template for the use of Gamification concepts in almost every business and community.
Leicester’s Success through the Gamification Lens

2. Leaders bring engagement, motivation and belief in self-efficacy through Gamification strategies
Quite some time ago, I wrote a White Paper on the Theory and practice of Gamification (see Slideshare Page
http://www.slideshare.net/dwortley/gamification-and-enabling-technologies-white-paper ). I argue that every human activity
can be viewed through a “Gamification Lens” in which we assume a role depending on our circumstances and motivation to
influence that activity. In many human activities like love, politics, work etc., we even use the word “Game” to describe the
activity.
The roles that we assume can be expressed as a hierarchical pyramid where those who choose to have no interest in being
involved are described in this model as “hermits” and each layer above the hermit has an increased level of engagement/
interest/ influence. The challenge in any human activity is to increase the level of engagement of stakeholders so that
spectators become fans and players working towards a common goal. Good leaders or “Games Masters” have the ability to
build ecosystems of engaged individuals who can all contribute to a successful outcome.
Today we have what I believe is increasingly a “Spectator Society” where individuals feel that power and responsibility for
change is outside of their control, expressed in the diagram above as an “External Locus of Control”. Leaders have the ability
make people believe in themselves and their ability to make things happen.
Leicester’s success is an example of how leaders such as Claudio Ranieri, the Thai owners of Leicester City Football Club and the
backroom team have successfully made these transformations both within the city of Leicester and all around the globe where
Leicester City’s achievements will inspire and influence many thousands of people in a very positive way.
Virtual Worlds and the Skinningrove Jetty Story
Skinningrove Jetty developed in the Virtual World and now under construction in the physical world
https://www.facebook.com/skinningrovejetty
Another, quite different story of the power of Gamification and Enabling Technologies to impact social and economic
development is set in the North East of England in a former mining community called Skinningrove where one of my social
entrepreneur friends, Steve Thompson, was heavily involved in a project to repair a jetty that once was used to carry iron ore to
the steel industries before it was badly damaged by being blown up by British Marines in the Second World War to prevent its
use in a possible invasion.
After the war, the Skinningrove community suffered badly from the decline of the steel industries in the Teesside area but two
members of the Skinningrove community were determined to revitalise the community by raising funds to rebuild the jetty as a
tourist attraction and a catalyst for local business enterprise. With Steve Thompson’s help and the support of local politicians,
they created a virtual version of what the jetty could look like in Second Life and used the technique known as Machinima to
make a video of the opening of the rebuilt jetty. The costs of repairing the jetty were substantial but, through the passion and
commitment of the individuals and the power of technology, the work is taking place and the latest video of the project can be
viewed on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/skinningrovejetty
Asia Pacific Healthcare Simulation Conference 2016
360 degree Image from Asia Pacific Healthcare Simulation Exhibition – Click Image to View in 360 Degree
The Asia Pacific Healthcare Simulation Conference and Exhibition took place in Kuala Lumpur at the end of April and was
attended by around 100 health professionals plus exhibitors from across South East Asia and China. My presentation at the
event was on the theme of “The Past, Present and Future of Medical Simulations” (http://www.slideshare.net/dwortley/past-
present-and-future-of-medical-simulations ). I drew on my experience from my time as the Founding Director of the Serious
Games Institute at Coventry University to describe the use of simulation technologies developed for the games industry to
create realistic training scenarios for diverse scenarios which included triage training for paramedics in responding to a city
centre explosion, simulation of death from a head wound and treating computer generated realistic patients in an Accident and
Emergency situation.
Medical simulations are becoming increasingly sophisticated and their application is evolving in ways which could have a
profound impact on the medical profession, leading eventually to the possibility of routine surgical procedures being performed
by either a robot surgeon or an individual whose skills are based on manual dexterity rather than a lifetime of training and
experience.

3. Keyhole Surgery Simulator with Haptic Feedback
Evolution of Medical Simulations
The evolution path for medical simulations could be summarised in the following way :-
THE PAST
The use of animations and virtual worlds to simulate medical scenarios too expensive, dangerous, rare or impractical to create
in a physical setting. The focus being on creating an experience of a medical scenario in a safe environment which can be
monitored, assessed and debriefed by human experts. Simulations and serious games were typically single user. Mannequin
dummies and volunteer patients with simulated wounds widely used.
THE PRESENT
Increasingly sophisticated multi-user simulations involving collaboration between users over a network. Ability to customise
scenarios and set up virtual cameras to record performance for use in debriefing. Mixing of physical and virtual environments
and increasing use of physical simulators which can provide haptic feedback to the user and record the user performance.
Increasing use of technology to monitor, assess and provide feedback to the user. Mannequin dummies are becoming more
realistic and with embodied artificial intelligence.
THE FUTURE
Artificial intelligence, Sensor Technologies and Robotics could revolutionise medical simulations using real-time data and the
integration of physical and virtual environments to either enable non-surgical staff to perform patient diagnostics and routine
operations or robots to perform diagnosis and surgery. Wearable technologies and embedded sensors monitoring citizen health
are likely to be used to simulate future health prognosis with a focus on preventative healthcare and better tools for personal
health self-management.
The Moulage Workshop demonstrated the use of theatrical makeup to simulate wounds
Moulage Workshop
One of the most interesting and interactive sessions at the conference was a Moulage Workshop which showed how readily
available theatrical makeup can be used to create very realistic simulations of wounds. These techniques are widely used in
large scale disaster simulations in which volunteers play the part of wounded citizens and are triaged and treated by the
emergency services.
The use of volunteers with simulated wounds and mannequins which are becoming increasingly lifelike and responsive to
medical interventions will always form an important part of medical training.
Bangkok International Digital Content Festival
Business Matching Meeting at the Bangkok International Digital Content Festival
The Bangkok International Digital Content Festival (BIDC) is an annual event which celebrates the creative abilities of Thai
companies in the areas of film, animation, graphics design and games. BIDC incorporates a lot of parallel activities in various
locations and creates a strong brand identity for Thailand’s creative economy. This year was the second time I took part in the
international business matching event, providing creative Thai companies with a kind of “speed dating” business matching
opportunity to explore collaboration between Thai companies and international partners.
Example of Snoozefox Artwork

4. I met several very talented Thai creative companies involved in games, animation, virtual reality and graphics design. Their
capabilities could add genuine value to European games developers seeking to outsource some of their development work. One
example of such a company is SnoozeFox (www.snoozefox.com) who are looking to provide 2D/3D Graphic, Art Design, and
Programming for Interactive Applications.
You can view their portfolio at https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/127080497/Snoozefox_Portfolio_2016.pdf and their
contact is CEO Ramin Salhani (ramin@snoozefox.com)

Thailand E-Learning Association Workshop
Host and presenters at the E-Learning Association of Thailand (E-Lat) Event in Bangkok
It was my privilege to be invited as a keynote speaker at the Thailand E-Learning Association Seminar event held in Bangkok
immediately after BIDC. I spoke on the topic of “The Past, Present and Future of E-Learning and the Impact of Technology”. The
key message behind my presentation about the evolution of Technology Enhanced Learning is that the role of the teacher in
today’s education environment has fundamentally changed as increasingly sophisticated computing and communications
technologies provide both ready access to current knowledge and embedded student assessment tools.
A s technology encroaches on tasks traditionally managed by human beings, teachers need to concentrate on those human
attributes which motivate and inspire students in ways which technology is unlikely ever to match. I also stressed the need to
shift education strategies towards more vocational training based on human skills in order to avoid creating large numbers of
unemployed intelligent graduates being trained for jobs which in future will be done by machines.
Malaysia’s Inaugural Gamification for Education and Health and Well-Being
Conference and Exhibition
Malaysia’s Deputy Minister of Education launching the first Gamification for Education Workshop at UPSI
It was an honour to be the keynote speaker at Malaysia’s inaugural Gamification Seminar and Exhibition held at the
Universiti Pendidikan Sultan Idris (UPSI) Education Research Laboratory in Tanjung Malim, Perak, Malaysia. The seminar was
launched with an opening ceremony by the Deputy Minister of Education YB Datuk Mary Yap Kain Ching who spoke
enthusiastically about Malaysia’s commitment to advanced education strategies to meet the challenges of the 21st
century.
My presentation which covered both the impact of technology on education practices and personal health management
was delivered to an audience of staff and student teachers. The event was facilitated by Serious Games Asia, led by Ivan Boo
and featured some very interesting and informative presentations from speakers across South East Asia.
The afternoon session featured a remote skype presentation by Lucia Pannese who covered the use of serious games for
education and health applications in various European projects such as Rehab@Home, Pegaso and DOREMI
(http://www.doremi-fp7.eu/)

Singapore Medical Simulation Lab
Singapore General Hospital’s Simulation Lab for training surgical skills
Following the Asia Pacific Healthcare Simulations Conference in Kuala Lumpur, I took the opportunity to visit Singapore’s
General Hospital Simulation Lab as a guest of one of the conference keynote speakers, Assoc. Professor Fatima Lateef who is a
Senior Consultant at the hospital’s A&E department. The Simulation Lab is equipped with a full range of the latest equipment
and reminded me of a very similar facility of London Imperial College’s Teaching Hospital near Paddington Station.
The Simulation Lab has adjacent rooms with one-way mirrors and recording facilities to monitor training scenarios which
typically use mannequin dummies. The visit illustrated the importance of debriefing exercises which are an integral part of
medical training.
After visiting the Simulation Lab, Assoc. Prof. Lateef showed me round the accident and emergency facilities and discussed the
processes in place to deal with pandemics and highly infectious diseases which require special precautions. As a member of the
Singapore Parliament, she is also interested in issues such as the Ageing Society and we talked about the European project
DOREMI (http://www.doremi-fp7.eu/) which uses Gamification and enabling technologies to address physical and cognitive
decline in the elderly.

5. Health and Well-Being in the Ageing Society
The percentage of younger working population per older non-working citizen is falling rapidly
There are a number of demographic time-bombs primed to have a potentially devastating impact on society in the not too
distant future. The Ageing Society phenomenon is one of the most important because it challenges the very sustainability of
some very important health services we have come to take for granted in the UK.
I speak from the personal experience of seeing my mother’s decline through dementia before she died in a care home at
the age of 86. Both myself and my mother were very fortunate that the care services available to her ensured that she was
looked after very well when she needed it and that these costs were largely borne by public health services.
With life expectancies increasing and birth rates stagnant or in decline, we are already seeing a drop in the percentage of
the working population compared to the population of people over the age of 65. This shift in demographics is already
forcing changes in the formal retirement age to avoid the “pensions black hole” and, in the UK at least, there are regular
press articles about the quality of care available to the elderly.
Projects such as DOREMI described earlier use Gamification and consumer enabling technologies to promote healthy active
ageing and avoid or at least delay the onset of dementia and similar conditions.
My own view is that, as a society, we need to view the ageing population as a potential asset to society rather than an
inevitable cost burden which needs to be minimised by using technology to cut the cost of care to a minimum.
Personal health Management for Chronic Conditions such as COPD
Helping citizens with chronic conditions to better manage personal health is vital for sustainability of Public Health
Services
Related to the Ageing Society issue is the provision of facilities for people with chronic conditions such as Chronic
Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) which causes a decline in lung function and has a serious impact on sufferers and
their families and carers. I have been collaborating with a UK company, Aseptika, who are based in Huntingdon and whose
founders have a clinical education background.
Aseptika (www.activ8rlives.com) design and develop wearable technologies such as the Buddy Band to help citizens to
better understand and manage their personal health. Of all the wearable technology providers that I have been exploring,
Aseptika have one of the most complete portfolios of consumer devices contributing to a personal health platform designed
to not only support preventative healthcare but also to help patients with long term conditions such as COPD to avoid or at
least defer decline in health.
See http://www.activ8rlives.com/information/case-studies/ for information on Aseptika case studies
360 Degree Aerial Images
Aerial view of Northants Countryside captured from 360 degree video using Theta S camera and 3DR drone
Following on from last month’s exploration of the functionality of both the Theta S 360 degree camera and the 3DR drone, I
combined the 2 technologies to try to get a bird’s eye aerial video of my local countryside. I was able to mount the Theta S
camera on top of the 3DR drone and set the video recording before the drone started its flight to avoid interference between
the WiFi functions.
