ZDNet (http://blogs.zdnet.com/BTL/?p=4047) has an article up with an interesting idea: use game designers to make the corporate world fun.

Your company's most valuable player in the future may be a video game designer, according to Indiana professor Edward Castronova, a leading researcher on virtual worlds.

If Castronova is correct game designers may be critical to making corporations more efficient partly by making them more fun for workers. Castronova is on the front lines examining how the nuances of virtual worlds–and the people that design them–can impact public policy and corporate cultures.

Pay people more money and give them more time off, you won't need the game designer.

I'll put my vote in for competant Human Resources departments making companies more 'fun'.
