Questions. Perspectives. Movement.

The thinking continues here.

Working notes on innovation, strategy, Serious Play and workshop design. Questions and methods for meaningful collective work.

01
Working note 01 — Workshop design

An innovation workshop starts with a better question.

“Find ideas” is rarely a sufficient brief. Before choosing an exercise, establish what the group actually needs to move forward.

02
Working note 02 — Serious Play

Why put objects on a boardroom table?

The object is not the answer. It is a way to make a perspective visible enough for someone else to question it.

03
Working note 03 — Strategy

Design a strategic offsite from the ending backwards.

Before filling a day, describe what needs to be different when it ends. That intended change is your most useful design tool.

04
Working note 04 — Play at work

Playfulness at work cannot be prescribed.

Making room for play at work goes beyond adding entertainment to tasks. Research distinguishes the playful activity from a way of approaching situations—and it is this stance that can be cultivated, under the right conditions.

The next question is yours.

You bring
the question.
We give it form.

A question to clarify. A team to bring together. An idea to put to the test. Let’s start with a conversation.
