Happy New Year!

2021 was not a productive year on the blog, after so many years of writing, I needed a break to be honest. I also decided that 2021 was the year to get my mental health sorted a little bit, so made a few changed here and there.

However, it’s 2022 now and I want to get a fresh start on this blogging stuff again. So, expect a bit more activity (don’t expect 1 a week though!)

I’d love to hear what you would like to see more of moving forward though, let me know in the comments or on Twitter (DaveRage)
As is traditional, below you will find my roundup of the year’s blogs. Hope you enjoy and I’ll see you all very soon 🙂 Read More ...

The “Is it a now thing, or a later thing?” prioritisation framework – Beat the Post Christmas Slump

Yes no banner The 8220 Is it a now thing or a later thing 8221 prioritisation framework 8211 Beat the Post Christmas Slump

So, Christmas is done and we are now in that no mans land between Christmas and New Year. No one knows what day it is, what they should be doing or what their next meal might consist of – but know that it is in the freezer and is bit sized.

The next week or so can be really hard to stay focused during as you work in a piecemeal fashion and have slightly less direction than usual. So I thought it was time to just share the basic prioritisation framework I use in my head (which I probably stole from somewhere!). At it’s most simple it asks the question Read More ...

Gamification and the F word….

Bit less Gamification and the F word 8230

So, in my last post I set the cat amongst the pigeons a little by offering my new definition of gamification. Well, the conversations that followed were superb 🙂 That’s one of the reasons I did it, to start up the conversation again – to get people to step away from the business as usual rut gamification is now in and start think about what it actually is to us and to the client!

So here is another comment that goes against a lot of what I have said and heard in the past.

Fun.

It’s a word I have avoided when discussing gamification for the same reason many do – fun is subjective.

via GIPHY

What you find fun, I might not. There are many frameworks for fun and I will talk about my RAMP to FUN in the next blog, but I think we should be looking more and more at how we can make experiences fun. My flip side of that is to at least make it less shit!

So a new definition for you 😉

Gamification (noun) The process of making something a bit less shit and a bit more fun!
