Workshop Description: Looking for new concepts that can bring greater weight to your work in applied improvisation? Applied improv connects with over 30 years of field-tested theory and practice from Harvard University’s project on “Adaptive Leadership,” a hands-on approach to leading and managing change in and across organizations. Drawing on my current research and Improv for Leadership courses I have taught to Executive MBA students for the last several years, I will introduce participants to the core vocabulary of adaptive leadership, show how it connects with applied improvisation, and highlight how we can put this powerful alignment into practice.
