    Well suited: environments that crave social affirmation, social competition, or other organizations that can't incentivize success via compensation. Not well-suited: environments that support several similar roles that have different metrics. Example: we have 5 similar roles at my company that would benefit from Ambition, and each of these teams sits close to each other. It's challenging to customize Ambition to display multiple different roles with different metrics, rewards, and content. If you display the content on a screen in your office, it's best suited for only one role/team. Otherwise, you'll likely need to deploy Ambition to different teams separately, via a different account.

    This is a great way to help show people's progress to others. I also liked the way we can set up rewards for those that hit the target. It would be nice to be able to have the data into PowerBI as well since most people are moving reports and KPI's in PowerBI.

    It was easy for end users to use the system, or be able to put in on a TV to show the reports. I did not give it a 9 or 10 as the usability for an admin. It takes a good amount of time and knowledge around where to go to to do your job.

    I gave it a seven rating for support. The support we used was just the whitepapers and documentation that Microsoft provides. Microsoft does very well in its documentation. I think its pretty simple to install and configure the system, it's pretty basic on getting it setup.

    I have not tried alternatives to Ambition but could not see what additional changes or iterations another company could deploy that Ambition is not currently doing

    We used MS Dynamics 365 Gamification because we did not have a Power BI team. The dashboards and animations are better than just having a dashboard. It was also nice to have the KPI's already built, where we did not have to build them to do something so simple. Liked how easy the updates were between the Dynamics system.

    Return on Investment
    Ambition Inc.
    • We rolled out a new metrics launch AND Ambition at the same time. Metrics attainment has risen significantly.
    • Some reps love seeing the results publicly, and some despise it. It highly depends on the sales culture of your team. The "non-salesy" types at our company only want to know their own metrics, and not participate in sales competitions or publicize the results.
