Solving Community Problems with Gamification

Boundaries, they make a cell what a cell is and they are the foundation of our legal framework. Their shape in institutions is also part of what keeps positive community oriented change from happening. But if they didn't exist, we would become "Leave the World Behind" pretty fast. How do we evolve boundaries so our systems can evolve, without threatening everything good we've created so far?

This presentation is part of a series of talks on gamification. The intent is for each part to be done with a different audience, pulling on their unique significance to the conversation, so previous attendance in this series is not required.

Previously we demonstrated its potential in massive corporations through the internal audit discipline and their most un-insurable challenges. Then we presented at YYC Data Con on how it can accelerate data frameworks & integration. Now it is your turn so let's make it Civic focused. Together we will make a game out of a critical piece of civic infrastructure, so the boundaries around it can be more effectively evolved with technology.
