I had a chance to share a few improv games this morning at the ActKM conference in Melbourne. I chose some simple turn-taking games which generally show that following apparently simple instructions in groups rapidly reveals all manner of things about the complexities of collaboration. As well as raising some laughs.

Last night Parsons Brinckerhoff Asia Pacific was awarded actKM's Gold Award for excellence in knowledge management. Thanks to the efforts of Cory Banks and his team, the company has had some very tangible achievements in getting its 15,000 people world-wide to work a lot more closely together to share their knowledge.
