System and method providing positive social and economic motivators for goal achievement

A system comprising:

• at least one computing device comprising one or more processors to execute and memory to store instructions to:
• define a plurality of goals, each goal's definition comprising a progression plan comprising a set of milestones to measure progress of a group of user's toward the goal;
• assign users from a plurality of users to form the group of users, the group of users being assigned a goal from the plurality of goals, the users assigned to form the group are selected based on a probability of success of the group of users in achieving the group's goal, the probability of success is determined using at least one probability model trained from previous experience with the plurality of users, the plurality of goals and determined outcomes of a plurality of user groups, the probability of success for each user being determined using the at least one probability model and information about the user;
• maintain data about each user of the plurality and data about the group's progress toward achieving its goal;
• and
• make a recommendation that the group use a mechanism to increase the probability of success of the group of user's achieving the group's goal, the recommendation being based on the probability of success taking into account the mechanism, the probability of success being determined using the at least one probability model and the group's progress toward achieving its goal.

A computer readable non-transitory storage medium for tangibly storing thereon computer readable instructions that when executed cause at least one processor to:

• define a plurality of goals, each goal's definition comprising a progression plan comprising a set of milestones to measure progress of a group of user's toward the goal;
• assign users from a plurality of users to form the group of users, the group of users being assigned a goal from the plurality of goals, the users assigned to form the group are selected based on a probability of success of the group of users in achieving the group's goal, the probability of success is determined using at least one probability model trained from previous experience with the plurality of users, the plurality of goals and determined outcomes of a plurality of user groups, the probability of success for each user being determined using the at least one probability model and information about the user;
• maintain data about each user of the plurality and data about the group's progress toward achieving its goal;
• and
• make a recommendation that the group use a mechanism to increase the probability of success of the group of user's achieving the group's goal, the recommendation being based on the probability of success taking into account the mechanism, the probability of success being determined using the at least one probability model and the group's progress toward achieving its goal.
