Game Frame: Using Games as a Strategy for Success is the first perspective explanation of what games mean to us, the human psychology behind their magnetic pull, and the ways we can use the lessons they teach as a framework to achieve our full potential in business and beyond.
All of our lives, we have been told that games are distractions; playful pastimes, yet unrelated to our success. In this book, Aaron illustrates that the opposite is actually true: games produce peak learning conditions and accelerated achievement. Here, the vital connection between the games that we love playing and the everyday goals, tasks, and dreams we have trouble realizing is illuminated.
Aaron is the 30-something founder of a successful digital strategy firm that studies the transformative power of tech in culture. He, along with his peers, grew up on a steady diet of gadgets and games, ultimately priming them to challenge the status quo of the modern workplace. What they learned from playing video games goes much deeper than hand-eye coordination; instead, this generation intrinsically comprehends the value of adding the elements of games into everyday life.
In
Brave New Work: Are You Ready to Reinvent Your Organization?, Aaron reveals his proven approach for eliminating red tape, dissolving bureaucracy, and doing the best work of your life.
He has found that almost everybody, from Silicon Valley to Wall Street, will point to the same frustrations: bottlenecks in decision making, lack of trust, siloed functions and teams, email and meeting overload, and short-term thinking, as well as others.
Could there be any hope for a solution? Haven’t countless business gurus promised an answer, but changed nearly nothing about the way we work? This is due to failing to recognize that organizations aren’t machines to be predicted and then controlled. They’re complex human systems filled with potential waiting to be released.
He says you can’t fix a department, team, or organization by tinkering around the edges. Through the years, he’s helped clients reinvent their operating systems, the fundamental practices and principles that shape their culture, with extraordinary success.
