"Why Improv Training Is Great Business Training" by Jesse Scinto from Forbes' Leadership Forum

From "Improv experience promotes divergent thinking, uncertainty tolerance, and affective well-being​" by Peter Felsman, Sanuri Gunawardena, and Colleen M. Seifert, published in Thinking Skills and Creativity, Volume 35 (March 2020)

 

"Creative teams involved in improv training (versus an inactive control) showed increased workplace playfulness and creativity (West, Hoff, & Carlsson, 2017). Middle school students participating in improv (versus sports) at lunchtime showed gains in creative flexibility and originality (Hainselin, Aubry, & Bourdin, 2018). High school students in an improv class (versus a writing class) showed increased word and sentence usage (DeMichele, 2015). And, college students in an improv (versus consumer behavior) class showed increased creative fluency and greater self-efficacy on a marketing task measure (Mourey, 2019)."
