THE NEW NORMAL

Volatile
Uncertain
Complex
Ambiguous
Improvisation - the art of working
without a script, adapting in the moment
and building something out of nothing -
is a novel way to tap into and develop
skills such as adaptability and resilience.
The field of applied improvisation is a
growing industry that is changing the
way people lead, create and navigate
change. The kind of change that
organizations are faced with today is
something of a challenge we have not
faced before. It is new, uncomfortable,
intimidating and, much like adopting a
new customer relationship management
(CRM) platform, should be integrated in
a thoughtful and intentional way.
Using applied improv as an experiential
learning methodology aligned with
the pillars of VUCA enables learners
to practice applying improvisational
techniques and tools to shift their
behaviors and attitudes in the moment.

Here's how experiential learning
and applied improv addresses the
VUCA climate we are dealing with in
today's workplace.

VOLATILITY
Volatility is the quality of being subject
to frequent, rapid and significant
change. We know that change is
constant, fast and difficult. What can
we do to condition ourselves to better
handle volatile environments?
Improvisation subjects you to frequent,
rapid change in a real-time, low stakes
environment where all participants are
after the same objective, supporting
one
another
and
encouraging
vulnerability. Improvisational exercises
simulate the rapid change people
need to familiarize themselves with.

Designing experiences where learners
can experience change over and over
begins to tone the adaptability and
resilience muscles.

Improvisation conditions
you to move forward with
only what you know and
have in that moment.
UNCERTAINTY
Uncertainty is a component of any
situation in which events and outcomes
are unpredictable. Who enjoys not
knowing what is going to happen next?
Maybe in life, uncertainty presents
