Seriously Chris, I respect you and Justin Levy, and enjoy reading your blogs, but this post and Justin's post on Workshfting (where I got the link to yours), feel like some pimped out payback for Greg and the Humana sponsorship of the Enterprise 2.0 conference.

I was outraged by the comment above where Greg says, “We’re not interested in solving sickness problems". We want to work on promoting health,”. NICE.

No, the update did not help! It made it worse: "gee it's the other guy's job, we are just trying to have fun with what we do here!".

Nice timing too, what with all the rallies going on around the U.S. this Saturday
(6/27/09) to promote change in the health care industry for those who do not have a chance of getting decent health care in the U.S.

No, I think it will be a LONG TIME before I ever equate: healthy + insurance company to = fun.

Right now all I equate is: health insurance + billions in profit - people who die for being denied care = disgusting.

But hey, thanks for putting a light spin on it for a Friday!

[...] Chris Brogan had an interesting post the other day about how a health insurance company (Humana in Louisville, Kentucky) is taking steps to make its employees more health conscious – an effort to ‘walk the walk.’ Integrating things like pedometers which are tied to a digital fish bowl, and bike sharing programs are things that I’m sure go a long way towards improving employee satisfaction but are also just pretty cool… Its a great example of being able to make what I would not think of as an exciting industry – lots of fun.

I got a real kick out of this, John, because we DO absolutely run in cycles. But in my experience, our cycles have been shorter in duration . . . the pendulum swings toward wild and crazy experimentation for a few months; then swings back to “let's make some incremental changes.”
I think that it actually works pretty well, because it takes time and effort to make wild experiments into real business applications . . . and that, at the end of the day, is the point. Thanks for the comment!
