"Dabei geht die Motivation verloren" | Technology Review. Es gibt derzeit einen Trend, Elemente aus Computerspielen auf Situationen zu übertragen, die mit Spielen gar nichts zu tun haben – etwa auf den Büroalltag. Dem liegen zwei Annahmen zugrunde: erstens, dass Menschen eher etwas tun – beispielsweise einkaufen oder Informationen teilen –, wenn sie Spaß daran haben; und zweitens, dass sie noch mehr Spaß daran haben, wenn es Teil eines Spiels ist. Der Anthropologe und Sozialpsychologie Judd Antin bestreitet jedoch, dass diese "Gamifizierung" von Büroarbeit automatisch Menschen zu einer bestimmten Tätigkeit motivieren. Vielmehr könne sie sogar demotivierend wirken, hält Antin dagegen, der bei Yahoo Research Online-Verhalten erforscht. Technology Review fragte Antin, warum das so ist und was er stattdessen vorschlägt.
Technology Review: Wie viele Unternehmen installieren spielähnliche Programme, um ihre Mitarbeiter zu bestimmten Verhaltensweisen zu bekommen? Judd Antin: Da gibt es viele Beispiele.

This last week I was at the Marcus Evans Open Innovation Conference giving a presentation on “The Next Evolution of Openness” – Getting back on the speaking circuit finally gave me a little thinking time away from building a rapidly growing consulting practice at my new company Spigit and I wanted to share with you some of the key points of that talk over the next few blog posts.
Things change quickly in the Innovation world – and as I was writing the title of the presentation I was struggling whether the word “evolution” was quite the right one – maybe “Revolution” would’ve been a better word to use in the circumstances. There’s supposed to be an ancient Chinese curse that goes along the lines of “May you live in interesting times” – and I don’t think that times get any more interesting than the business environment we currently find ourselves in. The recent financial depression has had profound consequences on the businesses that survived.
So, what’s the next step I hear you ask? Collaborative Democracy: Beth Noveck on Reengineering Civic Life.

We have been concentrating decision-making power in the hands of too few people - whether legislatures, or cabinet officials, or bureaucrats and agencies like the patent office. We construct our institutional practices around the notion that this is the best way that we have to make decisions. Even though we do not have a system of monarchy or aristocracy, we still believe in the notion of political expertise, and the notion that we have to rest power at the center. What exacerbates this problem is that we are making long-term decisions that affect the fate of our planet. This is a change over the way that we have talked about participatory democracy before.
