Winner of the Talent Triangle Octalysis Prime Challenge

The Talent Triangle is an integral part of the 10K HP process.

It helps you map out your unique combination of skills — the Edge, Ring, and Base — so you can see where your competitive advantage lies and where you need to grow.

About the Creator of the Octalysis Framework

Yu-kai Chou — creator of the Octalysis Framework

Yu-kai Chou created the Octalysis Framework after studying gamification since 2003 — years before the term entered mainstream vocabulary. As a Human-Systems Architect & Behavioral Designer, his framework has been applied by LEGO, Microsoft, Porsche, Coca-Cola, Salesforce, and MrBeast, impacting over 1.5 Billion Users.

Chou has taught the Octalysis methodology at Harvard, Stanford, Yale, Tesla, Google, BCG, and IDEO.

His work has been cited by Harvard, Stanford, MIT, Forbes, Wall Street Journal, Wired, US Department of Energy, NIST, NSF, NCBI, US Department of Education, ClinicalTrials.gov, and 3,700+ more academic publications. Explore his books here.
