2023 Global Experiment

Unleashing team creativity in pursuit of a brighter future. Anytime. Anywhere. Everyone.

OUR PURPOSE

We’re creating open, evidence-based solutions for modern workplace challenges – new rules for work – that bridge the science-practice-implementation gaps and accelerate collaboration in pursuit of a sustainable future.

OUR FIRST MISSION

A four-part global program beginning January 2023 to identify the best ways to support team ideation in face-to-face, hybrid, and online environments.

The world demands solutions to complex global problems.

At the same time, innovation leaders are struggling to decide when, how, and where teams should meet.

Recent research suggests that people should meet face-to-face if they want to drive innovation. They say that creativity suffers when teams meet online.

But obviously, we can’t always meet in person. The costs in terms of environmental impact, decreased diversity, wasted time, and money are too high. Modern innovation teams need a range of evidence-backed options so they can create great solutions anytime, anywhere, with everyone. Let’s discover those options together.

[ Current Phase ]
