IS DIGITALIZATION STILL FUN?

CULTURE MEETS GAME DESIGN

Everyone talks about TRANSFORMATION in the culture industry, but many transformation and innovation methods seem rather imposed on culture. How about using a new approach that is itself based on a cultural technique: games?

How can we reach new audiences, create new cultural experiences and establish new roles for cultural managers? We offer cultural practitioners, cultural managers, cultural consultants and cultural administrators a radically new way of thinking and a versatile toolbox from RESEARCH.

GAMING THE SYSTEM - RETHINK EDUCATION

There is no "one size fits all" approach to effective education. Especially in view of digitally and analogously connected teaching-learning settings, teaching can be mastered less and less on its own. Game Thinking offers us the possibility to look at teaching as a BROKEN GAME.

From the multitude of motivating game elements from our RESEARCH, we develop learning opportunities in a playful way.

TRAINING & CONSULTING

The Nuremberg Institute of Technology offers both: MODULAR TRAINING and CONSULTING. Using your own projects as examples, you will learn how to quickly and effectively develop customized motivation concepts - for your team, your organization or your customers.

GAME THINKING - OUT OF THE BOX

The EMPAMOS® TOOLBOX is your creative thinking tool for developing motivation concepts for teams and organizations. It contains methods and materials with which you can design tailor-made solutions for motivating learning and working environments.

AI-DRIVEN GAMIFICATION

We use ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE to analyze the motivational structures of thousands of games. From over 50,000 pieces of empirical evidence, we have learned how game design elements affect human motivation. From this, we have built a unique AI ASSISTANT which helps you to develop tailor-made motivational concepts that meet your behavioural targets.

OUR NETWORK - LEARNING FROM PRACTICE

We offer all our customers the opportunity to network and exchange ideas with each other. They benefit from the knowledge of others and feed their experiences into the network. They become part of a cross-organizational and cross-industry COMMUNITY OF PRACTICE. This video gives you an insight into our NETWORK MEETING. This year, the meeting will be held in Nuremberg on November 15.

INTERDISCIPLINARY TEAM

Finding out where the motivation lies in the game requires not just one, but many different disciplines. In our EMPAMOS-TEAM, we therefore integrate different perspectives from science and practice: from computer science and organizational psychology to education and social sciences to cultural management.
