In
this podcast, Luke Hohmann talks with me about how to build better
teams, engage employees and prioritize activities using games. You
will be really surprised at how "serious games can help you do
serious work, seriously better." The Founder and CEO of Conteneo
Inc., Luke’s playfully diverse background of life experiences has
uniquely prepared him to design and produce serious
games.
Graduating magna cum laude with a B.S.E. in computer engineering and an M.S.E. in computer science and engineering from the University of Michigan, Luke studied cognitive psychology and organizational behavior under such luminaries as Elliot Soloway, Karl Weick and Dan Dennison.
An author of three books, Luke is also a former United States National Junior Pairs Figure Skating Champion. His work, which focuses on using serious games to engage citizens, has been covered in Businessweek and Financial Times.
