Help & Guide
Welcome to the Gamification Help Center
This guide explains how the KCB Innovation Portal rewards your participation. Learn how to earn points, unlock achievements, and climb the leaderboard to gain recognition for your innovative contributions.
Gamification System Overview
The KCB Innovation Portal gamification system rewards your participation and contributions to innovation. Every action you take - from submitting ideas to helping others refine theirs - earns you points that contribute to your overall ranking.
Earn Points
Submit ideas, collaborate, and engage to accumulate points
Climb Rankings
Watch your position rise on monthly and all-time leaderboards
Unlock Rewards
Gain recognition, badges, and special achievements
How to Earn Points
Points are awarded automatically when you complete qualifying actions. The system tracks your activity and applies rate limits to encourage quality participation.
Pro Tip: Check the Points Matrix
Visit the Points Matrix to see live point values, rate limits, and which actions are currently active or disabled. The matrix updates in real-time to reflect administrator changes.
High-Value Actions
Idea submissions, evaluations, and implementation milestones typically award the most points. Focus on quality contributions for maximum impact.
Daily Activities
Smaller actions like commenting, liking, and daily logins provide consistent point accumulation. Stay active to build momentum over time.
Rate Limits
Many actions have daily, weekly, or monthly caps to prevent gaming the system. These limits reset automatically, so spread your engagement throughout the period.
Understanding Leaderboards
Leaderboards showcase top contributors across different time periods and departments. They update in real-time to reflect the latest point awards.
Time Periods
- Monthly: Resets on the 1st of each month - race to the top!
- Quarterly: Tracks 3-month performance for sustained contributors
- All-Time: Lifetime achievement rankings since joining the platform
Department Rankings
Some leaderboards are filtered by department, allowing you to compare performance with peers in your business unit or across the entire organization.
Your personal ranking is always visible, showing your position even if you're not in the top 10.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I earn my first points?
The easiest way to start earning points is to submit your first idea! You'll receive points immediately upon submission, with bonus points when your idea progresses through evaluation stages.
What happens if my idea gets rejected?
You still keep the points earned for submitting the idea. Rejection is part of innovation - learn from feedback and submit improved ideas to build your points over time.
Can I lose points?
No, points are never deducted. However, some point-earning actions have daily, weekly, or monthly limits to encourage quality over quantity.
How often are leaderboards updated?
Leaderboards update in real-time as points are awarded. You can view monthly, quarterly, and all-time rankings to track your progress.
What are achievements and how do I unlock them?
Achievements are special badges earned by reaching specific milestones (e.g., "First Idea", "10 Ideas Submitted"). They recognize your innovation journey and grant bonus points.
Why are some actions showing "N/A" or disabled?
Administrators can temporarily disable certain point-earning actions. Disabled actions will not award points until they are re-enabled. Check the Points Matrix regularly for the latest configuration.
Can I see my points history?
Yes! Visit your profile or the gamification dashboard to see a detailed breakdown of all points you've earned, including the action, date, and amount.
What rewards do I get for earning points?
Points contribute to your leaderboard ranking and can unlock special recognition, badges, and potentially tangible rewards announced by management. Stay engaged to maximize your benefits!
