KopCo Comments
Improv in Practice
|
|
Greetings! Happiest of New Years to you. There is a lot of "new" in our world, and we wish you many fulfilling new ventures and discoveries as well.
KopCo Comments is one such venture for us. In the inaugural issue of this free publication, you will find:
- An introduction to Kopco Comments
- A sneak peak into our offerings for 2009
- Recommended Resources
As most of you know, Koppett + Company specializes in the use of improv and storytelling techniques in organizational settings.
Why? A reminder:
Improvisers make up scenes, song, sometimes entire plays, on-the-spot,
collaboratively. Without knowing what is going to happen next, they must
deliver value in the moment, responding to whatever happens - expected or not, desired or not. Sound
familiar? Organizations are turning to the world of improv to build
stronger and more resilient relationships, and to become more flexible,
innovative, and responsive.
In our periodic issues of KopCo Comments, we will share with you our latest learning and experience on how to apply improv to your world.
We look forward to stimulating and useful conversations.
Warm regards,
Kat
