Thinking Differently is Easier Said than Done



How often do you think differently?

Thinking differently means approaching your daily challenges and habits in new, innovative ways. One of the best ways to think differently is to challenge assumptions.

Every time you approach a problem, the natural thing to do is the thing you've always done.

You approach the situation by bringing your accumulated knowledge and experience. The more experienced and skilled you are, the more likely you are to assume certain outcomes.
One of the most powerful ways to generate new ideas is to challenge assumptions.

Gamified Doing vs. Gamified Learning

Special Guest Bart Vanderhaegen - Managing Director and Founder at Pactify - a gamified, web-based project tracker.
 
In this episode of Gamification Talk Radio, the question you’ll hear Bart ask you is, “Do you and your team really believe in your project?” By "Pactifying" it you can grow "Pact Value" together by executing actions and achieving milestones on time! Wouldn’t that be an AWESOME news to report upstream.
 
In this week's interview we explored the core philosophy of Pactify, which is to gamify the actual business process – not “gamified learning” but “gamified doing”.
 
And for the ever important ROI – Bart will share with us why gamification can help boost results in performance improvement programs.
