Data is not the magic. The framing is. Gamified L&D environments can take boring data and turns it into an emotionally charged storyline, character arc, a bragging right, or a personal memory.
So the value is not the number. It is the interpretation. Which is exactly the opposite of what organisations most oftne do with their KPIs/dashboards.
Most dashboards present information as statistics. What if we present information as a protagonist’s journey? Huge difference.
