Improving the Team
Improvisation for Agile Skill Development

In today's economy, the Creative Economy, businesses face a disrupted, highly competitive and constantly changing landscape. To thrive in the Creative Economy team members, managers and executives will need to become and remain Agile. Improvisational Theater provides us with a proven model for developing agility skills since the characteristics of "Being Agile"--engaging people, learning, making decisions in the midst of uncertainty and ambiguity, and adapting--are the very skills that Improv Artists work to develop with every exercise they perform. This workshop is about "Being Agile," developing the mindset and behaviors that grow great abilities in communication, collaboration, inspiring others, building on others ideas, learning, adapting and evolving. This workshop will engage the attendees in experiential learning exercises from Improvisational Theater that will have immediate impact in improving Agile mindset and behavior. The workshop participants will find the exercises lively, inspiring, fun, life changing and an experience that they will never forget.
