Secret Sauce: Discover Yours

Secret Sauce is what makes the magic happen at your company or with your product. When we say secret sauce, what do we mean specifically? If you asked my 4 year old, she would assume secret sauce was some magical concoction of chocolate, marshmallows, and strawberry bits probably with glitter that could make you invisible. But if you ask a business exec, they would give you an entirely different definition about the secret combination that makes their business offering the best one out there.

Gamification 101

Gamification is a popular buzzword. But what is it really? Is it making your way through a maze of levels on a gaming console? Or maybe it's candy crush on your phone. Perhaps it's collecting points to save up for a cup of coffee at your favorite coffee house. Or it could be a game of Jeopardy to review the content in your your final day of on-boarding.
