More About Me

I'm passionate about

gamifying our world

An idea worth spreading

Als Entrepreneur habe ich eine große Vision: unseren Alltag zu "gamifizieren".

Und diese Vision wird für brainCue zur Mission:
das Schaffen von Fun. Und mit diesem auch Enthusiasmus und Engagement.

SEX sells...das kennt jeder. Wir wissen aber auch: 'FUN sells'.

Und es gibt nichts effektiveres um "Spaß" zu kreieren, als spielerische Elemente selbst.
Unser Können: Wir legen einen 'Game-layer' über einzelne Prozesse, Aktivitäten und Interaktionen.
Wie? Erfolgreiche Spiele sind kein Zufall sondern das Ergebnis jahrelanger Forschung über die menschliche Psychologie und ebenso langer Erfahrung im Bereich Spielmechaniken und -design.
Die Kunst ist es nun diese Erkenntnisse zu nehmen, und als 'Rahmen' um Aktivitäten zu legen, die nicht als Spiel gedacht waren.
Wer sagt denn, dass alltägliche Aktivitäten in Job oder privat nicht ebenso ansprechend sein dürfen wie eine gute Partie Schach, Monopoly oder so heroisch wie eine Mission aus World of Warcraft?

Talk to me about

Creating TED-Events at Munich, Germany. Creating something extraordinary to challenge the 'status quo'.

  • A comment on Conversation: Neil Pasricha: What do you do to make your life awesome? Extended until 2016*

    May 3 2011: What am I doing to make my life awesome? Definitely not by going through some kind of "to do list". Often it's just a feeling at the end of a day that somehow you have come one step closer to fulfill your dreams or a wonderful goal. There are these little things during a day that aren't scheduled and yet are getting you on the right track. If these things happen more often then you know that you have created basic conditions in your life that are working for you.

    A comment on Conversation: Should anyone be able to upload their TEDTalk to TED.com?

    Feb 17 2011: No, sure we wanna be an open minded community but TED stands for high-quality presentaions. I don't think that an "overflow" of different presentations will help TED. More quantity leads to less quality (that's the law of nature) and less quality will weaken the influence and success of TED, isn't it? If there is a demand for more presentations than I think there will arise new Websites for hosting them. Remember the Long Tail?
