What Is Improvisation?

“Improvisation is being present in the moment so that you can spontaneously take effective and intelligent action in that moment.” – Mary Jane Pories

How Can It Help Us?

Improvisation is perfectly suited for adult experiential learning styles. The learning is engaging and motivating; the impact immediate. You and your team will experience deeper and broader behavioral and cultural change in a shorter amount of time.

This is the most important group work since they built the pyramids.
