What are playsofwork?
Workplace challenges are serious, but we can still play with them.
If we want to reach new levels at work, skillful play can be a game-changer. Of course, it's not just about playing any games. It's about playing good games, and playing them well.
That is the whole idea behind playsofwork: Play well, work better.
What if we could tap into our own playful potentials to learn, create and grow? What if we could develop playful approaches that are tailored precisely to our professional challenges?
Fortunately, we can do exactly that. Let's come together to discover what's possible.
Why play at work?
Play at work isn’t just about fun - it’s a catalyst for creativity, growth and connection. When we embrace a playful mindset, we break down barriers, spark innovation, and approach challenges with an open mind rather than with fear. Playing together creates psychological safety and allows for fresh ideas to emerge. Play encourages us to be adaptable, curious learners - and supports our resilience in a world that is constantly changing.
When we play, we improvise. The ability to improvise is a crucial skill in today’s fast-changing workplace. Just like in improvisational theater, we as professionals must think on our feet, adapt to the unexpected, and build on each other’s ideas. Whether navigating uncertainty, problem-solving in real time, or fostering agile leadership, improvisation is an ability that helps us in work and in life.
Methods and principles from the art of improvisation can help us approach professional challenges more playfully. And by playing well, we work better.
