The Art of Business Improv
Improv is no longer just for actors! “The Master of Fine Arts is the new MBA,” so argued author Daniel Pink in his seminal New York Times story about the new creative economy. While this is an extreme statement, its implications are powerful: you cannot excel in business without creativity. In our competitive and evolving economy, being logical and analytical is no longer enough; the modern executive must be nimble and inventive to face constant change.
