Gamification Business Cartoon

Often cartoon writing is simply collecting little nuggets of interest. Some nuggets you twist, some nuggets you shine a light on, and some nuggets you group with other nuggets.

This cartoon wrote itself using that last method. I read an article talking about gamification and thought to myself “there’s something there.” And that idea laid around waiting for about a month until I heard someone on the radio talking about “gaming the system.”

It’s like the old saying, “A nugget saved is a nugget earned.” That’s how it goes, right? (Note to self: reduce usage of the word “nugget.”)

  1. Interesting question. If it is hard if it is a game to begin with.

  2. I think that we can view business as a game. Some may dominate it while others are left at the bottom.

  3. Gaming the system has always been an issue in Internet marketing but I don’t think that it can get you that far.
