TEAMprovising™
at one company
This
is an after-class report
to an
information technology company who
sent a group of employees in 2000 to attend a TEAMprovising class taught by Milo Shapiro of
IMPROVentures. Results are
based upon questionnaires taken before and after the class.
IMPROVentures’
assessment
to the company: Overall,
we were very pleased with the results and felt that the experience was
beneficial for all. We were also
happy to hear from the supervisor that it was overwhelmingly appreciated by the
participants.
To
summarize the data in the following pages, we are please to report that 100% of the
participants reported:
-
feeling comfortable, having a good time, and
feeling safe to take risks
-
recognizing
patterns in the way they interact
-
feeling more conscious of obstacles to communicating
-
learning things that they can apply to
themselves and their work
-
being able to create at least one new possibility for themselves
-
interest in recommending this class to others
-
appreciation for the company sending them to
TEAMprovising
88%
reported feeling
closer as a team because of the TEAMprovising class. These are
extraordinarily high scores for a compulsory personal development class.
Particularly
exciting is the full one-point leap (on a one-to-ten scale)
in their enthusiasm about
working together -
just after one class with IMPROVentures!

Hi Milo,
I could tell
everyone had a great experience at the workshop. They all
shared openly, with others, their experience. There
was definitely more laughter at work today than I
have ever heard.
Thanks a bunch!

"TEAMprovising
made us think and respond instantaneously.
It made all the managers work together and
 rely
on one another.
It taught us to work closely together and to trust one
another."
