Description
In this HCI Podcast episode, Dr. Jonathan H. Westover (https://www.linkedin.com/in/jonathanhwestover/) talks with Will Dennis about applied improvisation and how organizations can stand to benefit from it. See the video here: https://youtu.be/R_Hd9lOJ1Tg. What is applied improvisation and how can organizations stand to benefit from it? What are UnScripted Productions' 5 core principles of improv? I'm an introvert- when I hear "improv" I want to dig a hole and hide forever, what do you have to say to me? So you teach theology and run an improv studio... that's a strange combination. Will Dennis (https://www.linkedin.com/in/williamjdennis/) is the owner and operator of UnScripted Productions, an improv studio in Bucks County, PA offering classes, group events, corporate workshops and live performances. As an entrepreneur, he also has a breadth of experience in a number of different fields including fundraising, education, management, and professional theater (Will is a proud member of Actors Equity Association). UnScripted Productions has been working with companies and organizations across a spectrum of industries: from dentistry to accounting to marketing to pharmaceuticals to research analysis to teaching, and everything in between, to introduce applied improvisation as a method to transform leaders, teams and culture in the workplace. In addition to his work with UnScripted, Will also teaches World Religions and Discernment at a local private high school. Will lives in Newtown, PA with his wife, Danielle, daughter Hope and chihuahua, Mumford.

In this HCI Podcast episode, Dr. Westover shares his recent Forbes article, titled: "What a Korean Proverb Teaches us about Diversity in the Workplace."
