  1. Hello everyone! I have a business, and I am seeking Database Administration Services that utilize only proven tools for data management. The team firmly believes in establishing long-term partnerships based on trust and honesty while providing DBA services. Can anyone suggest a reliable source from where I can get these services?

  2. if you’re searching for the best fort lauderdale smoke shop, you should have to try puff n pass smoke and vape shop, they have great products at affordable prices. You won’t regret it.

  3. Thank you for the article! I have studied about similar subjects! Unlike other submissions, however, I have a very unique impression of yours. I hope you will continue to share articles of this caliber with the public.

  4. commenced operations with the intention of serving the Finnish and Scandinavian markets. You have a lot of experience in public speaking; it would be great if one day you could give a talk in Finland.

  5. I found it! Lifestyle Gamification is my North Star. I remember when I was in school, I was voted “Most likely to have a video game made of his life”. Now, I can begin to create the gamification of my life! So awesome Yu-kai!

  6. Started working to serve the Finnish and Scandinavian markets. You did a lot of public speaking, would be nice to have you speak in Finland one day!

  7. Hi Yu-Kai,

    I am working on a project for my company (Genpact – an outsourcing services major) and looking for companies/contractors in India who provide gamification services. Do you provide such services.. or any suggestions?

    Regards.
    Nikhat

  8. hello i have a simple game similar to snakes and ladders that i am wanting to put on an existing app. I have a small budget and based in Melbourne Australia.  Can you recommend a company or contractor who may be able to assist me?

  9. JaydeepMoulik  Haha, sorry – as much as I want to help, this is not a page where I do custom consulting for commenters ;-P

  10. PeggySheehy  Hey Peggy! In case you’re still interested, Yu-kai has recently spoken at a couple education conferences and is planning to keynote at several more this year. I’ve listed them above. If you have any questions, please reach out!

  11. Hi All,
    Just wanted to undertstand the utility and method of Gamification in BPO.  How can it impact without impacting productive hours 🙂

  12. Great site and thanks for all the valuable information you present. My plan is to take the for now open position as Gamification Expert in the Norwegain marketplace. Wish me luck!

  13. Hahaha, I should definitely update on this.

    Well, the team that I led have done social media and gamification campaigns for brands like LG, Levi’s, Activision, Victoria’s Secret, NBC, and more, as well as many smaller companies. I’m also a regular speaker/lecturer on these topics at places like Stanford University, Google, and some other places.

    Hopefully that says more than my Twitter count ^_^

You must engage in the conversation!!
