Abstract

The principles of purpose, journey and connectivity as unfolded in the three-pillar model (3-P-Model) have a strong resemblance to the basics of improvisational theatre (improv). That makes this form of art suitable to explore these principles in a literally playful manner. In this article the author discusses parallels between business transformation processes and the skills of that very agile, creative and highly connected art of acting. The article shows that organisations can be regarded as a kind of improvisational theatre, which means that it is helpful to learn to act in a proficient way, or at least transfer key insights to shift the interaction and collaboration in the organisation. So, improv theatre can be seen as a highly effective coping mechanism for dealing with challenging organisational and leadership situations, which is also an emerging topic in neuroscientific research.
