What is Actionable Gamification (Octalysis)?

The Octalysis Group is a behavioral science and gamification consultancy founded by Yu-kai Chou, creator of the Octalysis Framework popularized in his book Actionable Gamification. Rather than a self-serve software product, it is a consulting practice that applies the eight Core Drives model to redesign loyalty programs, employee engagement systems, digital products, health and wellness initiatives, and learning and development programs for client organizations.

Engagements are custom quoted and typically include an Octalysis Audit, an experience design sprint, implementation support with client dev and UX teams, and training workshops. The group has worked with over 175 organizations including Google, Tesla, Microsoft, and LEGO. It also offers OctalysisScan, a separate paid diagnostic web tool that scores a product's motivational design.
