eMee: Serious Enterprise Gamification

"I am continually surprised to learn the things I thought were true are no longer so. For example, I’ve always thought that US digital technology was superior. The next batch of players would be Asia, then Europe and the UK. While there is some great work coming out of India, I wouldn’t look there for innovation.


My jaw dropped when I saw that the first ever comprehensive enterprise management platform using gamification was developed by Persistent Systems, an Indian company", says John Sumser in the HRExaminer.

"The key is in understanding and mapping of the core enterprise. If all you offer is simple leader boards and badges, gamification is a dead end. This is partly because the same people who always make it to the top of the charts stay there. Everyone else gets frustrated because the game seems rigged and there are only a few boring ways to compete.

Great multi player games have many options for exploration and give each player the freedom to develop her own mission or journey. eMee has found a way to bring those concepts to work. The design (when mapped competently) encourages personal responsibility and evolution in a competitive framework. The game platform shows trench level employees that their jobs and careers are ‘growable’.

eMee is proving its value in a dynamic environment focused on the continuing pursuit of excellence in all aspects of the enterprise" he concludes.
