Badging will generate thousands of IBM brand instances dripping into LinkedIn, Twitter and Facebook every day.
LinkedIn profiles with certifications/badges receive 6X more views.
What is an Open Badge?
• Digital emblem which symbolizes skills and achievements• Contains metadata with skills tags and accomplishments• Easy to share in social media: LinkedIn, Twitter, FB, blogs• Tethered to IBM to validate and verify achievement• Based on Mozilla’s Open Badges standard
Three topline benefits:
• IBM: Differentiates IBM, increases our pool of talent, provides continuous engagement and progression• Earners: Instant recognition. Captures a complete skills profile,
from structured training to code building• Employers: Provides IBM customers and BPs with verified
“nano-level” skills data on employees and potential hires.

Use cases for badges affect every area of the business at IBM

Open Badges are driving the behavior we want:
"I find the badge program a great way of learning and hope more badge options will be
offered soon.”
**********
"In a recent interview, this badge gave me a chance to elaborate about a learning activity
that helped improve my skills.“
**********
"More people are viewing my LinkedIn profile after adding the IBM badge to my list of
accomplishments.”

IBM’s “Getting Started” Checklist1. Identify your badgeable activities (who,
what, where, when, why and how many)
2. Determine how you will assess completion, track and maintain attendees
3. Complete a badge program profile
4. Meet with badge team to review and implement
5. Establish a landing page for the activity – badge needs to point to an external page
6. Incorporate persuasive messaging into the activity and notifications
7. Issue badges and notify badge earners
8. Survey and measure results

IBM’s Lessons Learned1. Develop a solid communication plan. 2. Badge issuer must own the relationship
with the badge earner.3. Build consent (privacy, info sharing) into
the activity.4. Provide strong benefits statements
(marketing) into the intro letter to badge earner.
5. Follow the template for badge landing pages.
6. Add certification / skills paths into the metadata for all badges.
7. Retro badges are less successful; limit time period to 90 days.
8. Names are important: nobody wants a “newbie” badge.
