A Transformational Social Learning Lab
DISCOVER THE HIDDEN POTENTIAL IN COLLABORATIVE COMMUNITIES
The Collaboratory is a transformational, social learning lab that introduces forward-thinking professionals to effective, science-based modalities that build capacities within yourself, your teams, and organizations. You’ll discover how to collaborate more, think creatively, act resourcefully, and innovate faster.
The Collaboratory is a playful 3+ hour experience with lots of social interactions, open-minded and inspiring conversations. The event features an immersive learning experience based on the FreshBiz Game simulation.
If you have never had a game-based learning experience, then you’re in for a treat! FreshBiz is an international sensation and regularly played by companies and organizations looking to transform their cultures. Conscious Capitalism, Microsoft, United Nations, Ernst & Young, Accenture, Prada, Sony, and many others have participated in FreshBiz to experience how to play business and life by a new set of rules designed to expand possibilities for success.
The experience is designed to challenge you and, at minimum, shift your perspective about work and life. Learning experiences are immediately useful.
