There are two fantastic presentations this month which are not to be missed.

Tom Dudman, Rare Earth Digitals Software Developer who will be teaching about 'Gamification'.

This is typically used as an online marketing technique to encourage engagement with a product or service. For example Fitbit. Rather than bombarding users with a million and one things to think about, it’s better to ease them into the game. Introduce the basics, and then start to introduce more concepts and mechanics as users get the hang of it.

Fitbit explains the rules of the game rather nicely. They include a little quick start booklet with the device to introduce the basic features and concepts. They include an initial walkthrough within their mobile app and over time send a number of introductory emails to gradually introduce more things for users to think about. I'm sure by end of Tom's presentation you will have ideas about how you could introduce 'gamification' into your business.

Our second presenter is Ian Church, Business Consulting Director at CGI who are one of the largest IT and business consulting services firms in the world. They help their clients meet the ever-evolving digital expectations of customers through secure and flexible end-to-end services. CGI's intellectual property-based solutions help their clients accelerate innovation and drive operational excellence.

Ian will be discussing ‘Sustaining Business Change in the Digital Era' focusing on how people, processes, data and technology need to be integrated and the importance of sustaining this change through effective business change and benefits management.
