INSIGHT

Play Versus Boredom

  • Play is not the opposite of work; boredom is the opposite of play and drives people away from their jobs.
  • Encouraging play behaviors increases engagement and reduces turnover by making work more exciting.
ADVICE

Start Meetings With A Curiosity Warm-Up

  • Warm up with a focused curiosity exercise like asking ten questions about a pencil to shift mindsets before ideation.
  • Use exploratory play early to surface unusual questions and expand creative range quickly.
ADVICE

Run Structured Brainstorm Rounds

  • Run a brainstorm with a warm-up, individual ideation, visual notes, and timed sharing to generate many ideas.
  • Have people sketch quickly and post ideas so introverts contribute and the group can build off 20+ starting concepts.
