Changes in business environments have resulted in a need for the development of innovative teams, because it is through teams that the management of change through innovation is achieved. One of the factors that play a crucial role in the innovation shown by teams is the climate for innovation within the team. This climate is the same as the climate prevalent in an improvisation theatre group who respond to ideas from their audience, fellow actors and the scenario quickly and creatively and in collaboration with one another. Research has shown that the exercises used by improvisation actors can be used to enhance the innovative climate in a work team. Neuroscience also supports improvisation as an experiential learning tool. Applied improvisation is an emerging field and business schools all over the world are starting to include it as part of their leadership and innovation courses.
This interactive workshop helps to develop and strengthen the following collaborative creativity skills that enhance climate for team innovation.

Previous participants' comments:
I found it a very encouraging and motivating workshop that really helps you to get in touch with the natural creative side of who you are. It reminds you of being a child again but a liberated person as an adult. And together with this we believe the dynamics will improve within the team as we go forward in the company. I think it was a great workshop.
Burgert is a very engaging facilitator. He has a very approachable demeanor about him which helps you to be very natural in everything that you say so when it comes to fear and risk you sort of loose your inhibitions as you go along through the workshop. So it is a journey of losing the fear and engaging with a bit of risk taking witch naturally we don't like to do. So we feel quite liberated by the whole experience and Burgert helped us do that.

I don't think I've learned so much and laughed so much in one session. I've really enjoyed working with Burgert. I can see he has the experience and he's got a creative juice in him that ignited everyone's creativeness in this session.

The practical exercises and the interaction created between group members during the sessions made it an interesting team building experience. I would recommend it to any team/organisation that needs to uplift their team culture.
