What sustainability efforts could learn from Angry Birds

Playing Angry Birds hooks people, focusing them on developing special skills to achieve ever more difficult goals. That type of game-playing can be a central tool to help companies get their employees involved in delivering on firm-wide sustainability goals from zero waste to greening the supply chain. “Innovative companies are using gamification to re-image work and drive unprecedented engagement across the entire organization,” according to JP Rangaswami, keynote speaker for upcoming Gamification Summit being held in San Francisco June 19-21.

This is increasingly true for one of business’ top issues – sustainability. 93% of business leaders identified sustainability as important to their company’s future success, according to a recent survey.

How businesses can use games to spur greener behavior

Holland writes on the trends in energy management, which also were covered in depth at VERGE DC.] When it comes to energy and the environment, most people want to do the right thing. But how many people actually contribute to improving energy use and environmental impact is another story. That goes for just about any industry, and few know it better than those at South By Southwest (SXSW) Interactive. The conference, held annually in Austin, Texas, is a breeding ground for innovation and entrepreneurship in design, Internet and mobile technology -- Twitter, for instance, started its rise as a global phenomenon there in 2007. Naturally, I had concerns about giving a seemingly unrelated presentation on observed barriers to electric vehicle adoption.

Two buzzwords, "gamification" and & "big data," were in frequent use at SXSW earlier this month.
