Gamification has been a huge focus of my life, but the last few years have seen me change my career quite dramatically. I find myself in a role that no longer revolves around using game mechanics and the like. Â Instead, I am focused on improving online retail experiences through testing, optimisation, personalisation, merchandising and so on.
Whilst gamification may seem a million miles away from this, there is actually very little difference. They are both focused on behavioural change – they just use different mechanics.
