Strategic play for purpose-driven organizations
We believe playfulness is
humanity's superpower for solving
the world's biggest challenges
We help leaders and teams harness creativity and playfulness to reimagine how they connect with their teammates, engage with their stakeholders, align with their mission, and
tackle the problems that matter most.
What we do
We facilitate workshops and team retreats, run stakeholder/community engagement sessions, consult, and deliver keynotes that tap into your team's sense of creativity and playfulness to
help them:
-
spark creative problem solving
-
engage internal and external stakeholders
-
align strategy, processes, and mission
-
build a more connected team culture
-
counteract cynicism
-
amplify their impact
How we do it
We use a range of human-centered tools based on your context and goals. For instance, we often mess around with:
-
LEGO Serious Play - An area where we're specially trained! Learn more.
-
Sustainability-related games - Unlock aha moments through game-play and discussion.
-
Interactive experiences - Think app-driven mission- based scavenger hunts, awe-walks, and other innovative engagement strategies.

Who we work with
While we partner with any team doing good work, we specialize in working with leaders, groups, and teams focused on sustainability-related issues as broadly framed by the UN Sustainable Development Goals.
Working on Serious Problems is important. Often, though, it's done with a heavy-handed, doom and gloom approach, stifling our imagination for designing a brighter future that could be. The outcome is a diminished ability to problem-solve creatively, a feeling of depletion and cynicism, or a reluctance to engage in the work at all.
But the science is in. Approaching our Serious Problems playfully taps into our innate sense of joy, wonder, and delight, sparks our creativity, connects us to others, and bolsters our mental well-being, ultimately leaving us better able to solve the challenges we face.
Woah, hold on
a hot minute...
