6CIOReview | | SEPTEMBER 2021While gamification had already been an extremely effective tactic for forward-thinking businesses and organizations in the past decade, it is encountering a newfound and overwhelming significance in the wake of the COVID-19 crisis and the subsequent transition to the digital world. As face-to-face discussions have become screen-to-screen and zoom fatigue has transpired to a real health concern, gamification presents itself as an ideal antidote for enterprises to address the shrinking engagement and dwindling retention rates of the employees and the cascading attention span of the consumers in the new normal. Consequently, gamification adoption is witnessing a surge across diverse sectors, including sales, education, design, retail, and health and wellness.Considering how modern games have evolved in graphic integrity and technological design from the arcade classics in the '70s, gamification also holds infinite potential for the future. The coming years will witness an inevitable shift to more intrinsic motivation and immersive experience in the space by blending with augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR). Meantime, the gamification processes will also become highly contextualized and personalized by leveraging artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning, and data analytics. Thus, businesses and organizations can expect gamification solutions that evolve based on user behavior and feedback.In this edition of CIOReview, we bring you the story of some of the most promising gamification service companies that deliver the best outcomes for their clients.
