Whiteboard Improv

Our first event of the season! Whiteboard Improv is a fun version of our popular Whiteboard Challenge, where ten finalists compete using only a whiteboard and five minutes on the clock to describe the value of their business idea.

 

The program started with a mini-workshop presented by Matt Elwell, President of Comedy Sportz Matt provided a brief ideation workshop to help instruct participants on ways to leverage improv techniques and produce ideas that help inspire innovation in their businesses. 

 

Then, everyone split into groups that were led by one of Matt’s improv specialists.  These experts guided each group through the business and product development process and each team cames up with an idea to present.  At the end of the night, one person from each team demonstrated the team’s idea in five minutes using only a whiteboard.

 

This event focused on fun, innovation and a great way to collaborate with each other!
