Playnnovation: Experience play as a key driver for innovation
​When was the last time you played? 👀
​Play and the connection it builds amongst people and ideas is one of the key competencies necessary to push forward breakthrough concepts in your innovation journey.
​The Playnnovation™ framework is a game-hands-on experience that explores the theory of fun and the importance of incorporating play in our work environment and daily life. The goal is to fuel imagination, creativity, problem-solving abilities, cross-collaboration, and emotional well-being.
​This will be a hands-on and interactive session where you will experience play as a key driver for innovation.
