This document discusses using improvisation techniques to help organizations develop collaborative and adaptive teams ready to address social issues. It aims to explore leadership behaviors that can help organizations do more with less and do more by doing more. The session will involve both lectures and experiential learning, with a focus on co-creating emergent solutions with clients in real-time through simple mindsets that drive useful adaptive behaviors.
