Some interesting statistics - By 2015, 40% of Global 1000 organizations will use gamification as the primary mechanism to transform business operations - By 2014, 80% of current gamified applications will fail to meet business objectives, primarily due to poor design Source: http://www.gartner.com/technology/research/gamification/
