Tipping point for dummies

Paul Golding - Friday, December 05, 2008
In case you're still wandering what a tipping point is all about, or thinking that there are some pearls of (business) wisdom to be found by reading Gladwell's book, then this picture of a coin pusher might save you a lot of time. 



Some observations:

1. You never know when it's going to tip. 
2. You have to be adding coins to stand a chance. 
3. Those are probably somebody else's coins that you're going to tip.
4. But - those might be your coins that somebody else tips.
5. Best make sure that you tip somebody else's coins.
6. But when's it gonna tip? That's the problem. Often, we can't see the bloody coins stacking up!

Make of this what you will.
