The Gamification Gurus Power 100 ranked individual social influence from 2012 to 2019. It is no longer active.

Any questions on this list or gamification in general - please contact Toby Beresford

We've a new number one in the form of the effervescent (and that's just his shirts) Gamfed chair - Pete Jenkins. :) Well done Pete - you really are spreading the word about gamification.

This month we also saw the big climbs from Darryn Van den Berg (up 81 places to 43rd), Lauren S. Ferro (up 64 places to 41st), and Alireza Alireza.r.shourabi (up 45 places to 18th).

We also welcome back gurus Scott Sinclair (7th), Ruth S. Contreras (34th), and Alejandrodomsau (58th). to the Gamification Gurus Power 100 board.

It hasn't been such a good month for gurus Marcel Klimo (down 76 to 106th), Máté Farkas (down 74 to 127th), and Lennart Nacke (down 62 to 120th).

Well done to this week's top three Pete Jenkins, Karl Kapp, and Monica Cornetti.

I've published the results on the Gamification Of Work blog.
