Customer Service Intelligence uses a wide range of management and educational theories to provide different approaches that can be incorporated as part of the customer service trainer’s toolkit. Concepts such as: • emotional intelligence • behaviour modification • role modelling • dimensions of procedure and conviviality • expectancy theory • socio-cultural concepts of (service) community • customer service as dynamic 'object' in activity theory • Zen mindfulness all form the basis of training design in different contexts. Some trainers are dealing with new employees in fast food environments, others are retraining engineers in customer service provision as part of a strategic marketing initiative. This book enables the trainer to review the context for training and select the most appropriate approach to take. The training design is thus carefully thought through for maximum impact on the audience. Professionalism in customer service training is essential for the growth of many industries. This complex and challenging task is assisted by these perspectives, recommendations and case studies.

Designing games for learning: case studies show how to incorporate impact goals, build a team, and work with experts to create an effective game. Digital games for learning are now commonplace, used in settings that range from K–12 education to advanced medical training. In this book, Kurt Squire examines the ways that games make an impact on learning, investigating how designers and developers incorporate authentic social impact goals, build a team, and work with experts in order to make games that are effective and marketable. Because there is no one design process for making games for impact—specific processes arise in response to local needs and conditions—Squire presents a series of case studies that range from a small, playable game created by a few programmers and an artist to a multimillion-dollar project with funders, outside experts, and external constraints. These cases, drawn from the Games + Learning + Society Center at the University of Wisconsin–Madison, show designers tackling such key issues as choosing platforms, using data analytics to guide development, and designing for new markets. Although not a how-to guide, the book offers developers, researchers, and students real-world lessons in greenlighting a project, scaling up design teams, game-based assessment, and more. The final chapter examines the commercial development of an impact game in detail, describing the creation of an astronomy game, At Play in the Cosmos, that ships with an introductory college textbook.
