Outcomes Exceeding Expectations
Team Building and
Creativity Training
 As
most of our clients are aware, the major cost of any seminar
lies not in our actual fees but in their organization�s dedication
of the time and human resources to the training commitment.
As a result, any new training commitment inevitably involves
some risk. This means that outcomes are critical.
Although all our team building and creativity
seminars designed to meet the unique needs of our clients,
they do have a number
of things in common. Below are some basic outcomes that you
can count on from any of our creativity and/or team building
seminars.The best practices of Improv and those of organizational
development, team building, and creativity of essentially
parallel each other. With
this in mind, at the conclusion of every seminar, any team, department,

How we do it - The
process of our team building and creativity seminars
Explaining the process of our Improv training is comparable
 to describing
the experience of sailing; the actual experience is far richer
than any description. Our favorite analogy to describe Improv�s
transformational process is that it closely resembles the process
of jumping off a cliff and learning to design a pair wings
on the way down. This means that our teambuilding / creativity
training seminars involve- no boring lectures - we
promise!
From the first moments of any Creativity Engineering training
seminar, participants are engaged in the dynamic process of
interactive discovery. Seminars begin with a brief description
of the concept, techniques, and rules of Improv along with
their relationship to team building and creative organizational
growth and development. Immediately following this, trainers
engage participants in a number of carefully designed Improv
exercises that clearly illustrate the benefits of creative
collaboration and productive risk taking. Beginning with engaging
warm-up exercises, participants experience a learning and teambuilding
process that is compellingly interesting, informative, and
fun.
As the seminar progresses and participants
become more comfortable with the form and its rules, our
trainers pose engaging, interactive
questions designed to build clear connections and associations
between the group�s experience and key issues that are vital
to the goals of the organization.
The final segment of the seminar focuses on generating specific
ideas and commitments about how the creative tools and team
building skills of their Improv training will translate to
work and life. Written materials are provided so that both
individuals and teams can supplement their new team building
and creativity skills long after the conclusion of the training.
At the end of the training, participants are surprised and
delighted to discover the ways in which their unique gifts,
talents and visions have been empowered and freed-up.
