You are maybe awash with extrovert Ted talk types in your innovation and collaboration teams but every group needs an introvert to get it done.

So, perhaps it’s time to accept that a balanced utopia in your corporate culture is not what you need in the first instance. You need to create a 2 speed culture which allows one group to focus on what they are good at and another group to be the (Death) Star team

‘In every job that must be done, there is an element of fun. You find the fun, and - SNAP - the job's a game!. You want to get some fun into the office; start by not planning it, nominate your Mary Poppins and ensure that there's always a spoonful of sugar to help the medicine go down.

If you work in collaboration or event design or facilitation or anything similar, you will probably recognise the following scenario; a client or a colleague arrives at your desk/office/bean bag and says ‘I need a workshop, here is the agenda, can you please deliver it’. Yikes……..

Everyone likes a bit of Design Thinking but have corporates already ruined it. Doing it is not the same as doing it well but have we forgotten that already.
