Improvisation Works
What is Improvisation Works?
Improvisation Works is many things: a process, a
communication model, an organizational
development tool, and a technique for managing
change. At its most fundamental level, it is an
unrehearsed exploration of group dynamics,
communication, situations and leadership. Through
specific exercises and activities custom-designed for
each group, Improvisation Works teaches individuals
and groups to think quickly, delight in change, and
respond creatively to new situations and
circumstances.
An innovative approach to building teams,
embracing change, and fostering creativity
Who Can Benefit?
Improvisation Works is appropriate for a wide
variety of work groups, including managers and
executive staff, direct service and support staff,
public relations and outreach workers, coalitions,
board members and volunteers. Our
custom-designed improvisational workshops can
invigorate and inspire staff retreats, strategic planning
meetings, and other organizational gatherings.
Improvisation Works will increase your personnel's
capacity for flexibility, creativity and growth. And
they'll enjoy themselves and experience a wonderful
sense of team building in the process.
Why Improvise?
It won't work . . . We can't do it . . . This is the way we've always done it . . .
Be Ready for Change!

It's human nature to become comfortable with set patterns and ways of doing things. We all have the tendency to cling to the established and familiar. Let's face it - change can feel threatening and unsettling.
Fast-paced and competitive times require that organizations continually re-invent themselves simply to survive. Even the most well-planned strategies require us to improvise regularly and often.
Competition, downsizing and reorganization are constant features of today's workplace. Plans do not go according to predictions, resources become depleted, and long-held ideas are challenged by new data and circumstances. We must exhibit the essential ability to improvise or our plans will fail. And Improvisation Works can make the difference for your group.
