515% Lift? Gamification and Mentor Program

I am the Product Manager aka Chairperson of an internal company effort known as the Mentor Program. It's our mission to empower people to share technological and other essential knowledge with each other. To dive deeper into the Mentor Program, check out Gamification Meets Technology Mentor Program.

We had a fantastic last quarter (July, August, September):

• Our program goal was 1600. We did twice that at 3200!
• Compared to FY13Q2 of 520 points, 3200 is a 515% increase year over year (YOY)!  

I believe increased productivity, morale, self-esteem, and a sense of empowerment has also resulted. 

Some of the new elements added / changed in this last quarter are:

• Badges have a new easy to understand theme with a level of progression on them via stars
• We added leaderboards that shows how the different departments are doing as instructors and students
• Although not new, I have an awesome team of people dedicated to this effort!

Most of all, it's fun!
