The Octalysis Framework is a comprehensive tool for understanding and designing human motivation and engagement. Developed by Yu-Kai Chow over the course of 20 years of research and study, the framework breaks down all human motivation into eight core drives that motivate our behaviors. In this episode of The Salim Ismail Podcast, Salim and Yu-Kai discuss the details of the Octalysis Framework, including the white hat and black hat motivations, the left brain and right brain drives, and the importance of diversity in motivation and engagement. They also delve into the role of the Octalysis Framework in the OpenExO model for building 21st century organizations and the challenges of using the framework in the context of religion and charitable giving.
