This is another proof that Tumblr has failed to apply Gamification!

See more critics in my slidedesk from the recent presentation "Mythbusters attack Gamification": http://www.slideshare.net/vivanovs/vladimirsivanovsmythbustersattackgamification

Meet the Mythbusters, who will look closer at Gamification. According to Gartner, Gamification has climbed on a "peak of inflated expectations" in it's Hype Cycle. Like any new trend, gamification will move through the hype cycle and next stop is - "trough of disillusionment". Gartner predicts that by 2014, 80% of current gamified applications will fail. What can we do?  About speaker, Vladimirs Ivanovs, http://www.linkedin.com/in/vivanov  Am Consultant and Trainer, Conference Speaker and CEO, Husband and Dad :)  Resolving IT issues of any size and any kind, bringing Project Management virtue and ITIL Goodness to organisations, putting Projects/Programmes/PMOs in order, making organisations more Agile and Lean, helping to implement Changes, training serious skills through games.

Have presented today a webinar @BrightTALK on Trends in ITSM - "Agility and Leanity in ITSM".

Hopefully no linguist shooting squad is searching for me for a new word invented - "Leanity" :)

Here it is with quality recorded voice and not too difficult language used to explain the concepts behind the trends: http://bit.ly/ITSMAgility

Is Agility and Leanity a new set of best practices for ITSM?

Recently (February 7, 2013) I spoke on Service Desk Management Summit by BrightTALK.com online.

I have been opening it up with the topic "How Lean and Agile Can Your Service Desk Be?", so it felt almost like a keynote :)

Here was good line-up of speakers, thus I recommend watching the recorded versions of presentations that got 4+ star rankings (including mine ;) and sharing this link with your Service Desk and IT guys.
