The recent Service Management Forum in Atlanta centered on innovation and included speakers who shared improv lessons for innovators. Little Bets author Peter Sims discussed how successful entrepreneurs discover big ideas through trial and error, while The Second City's Communications group emphasized the importance of teamwork and a culture of mutual and reciprocal support and trust. The team also stressed the power of the "Yes, and..." approach to build on ideas and the value of showing gratitude for all information received.
