“What would happen if we got a dozen or more experienced, talented and turned on OD Professionals together for a weekend to create all new approaches for a real client’s real business issue?”
The Answer = Brains on the Beach
In this episode learn more about Brains on the Beach, their vision, how it works, what gamification adds to the process, and how you can become a Brains on the Beach Consultant!
Brains on the Beach brings together the best coaches, trainers, facilitators, business experts to develop workplace solutions for corporate and NGO clients.
To encourage co-creation between individuals, the experience is gamified. The GamesMaster finds the client for the Brains to focus their energy on a challenge posed to them and sets the rules of engagement. The Brains are put into diverse teams and have 48 hours to solve the challenge. However, the teams cannot use old tools and frameworks, as we encourage them to innovate a new solution never used before. And because there’s no prize money and no-one wins the client, all impediments for holding back (other than ego) are removed. The Brains therefore have to walk-the-talk they bring to their own practices.
After the present-backs to the client, the Brains leave having experienced one of the most powerful personal and professional development programs they’ve ever been through. The client walks away with new insights and solutions to their challenge. Anything discussed or presented is freely shared between the Brains, for them to further develop if they wish. It really is win-win.
