The "Jazz" Experience

During the jazz experience, participants are placed in a circle around a dynamic and interactive musical team: the jazz band.

They are invited to listen, observe, ask questions, and discover how jazz musicians establish a 'groove', improvise and innovate within clearly defined structures, cope with uncertainty, embrace diversity, rotate leadership and build on each other’s ideas in performance.

Using a series of carefully crafted interactive exercises, Dominic leads a discussion on how the world of jazz mirrors the fast-moving and turbulent aspects of today's business climate, and how the creativity and flexibility demonstrated by the jazz musician provides an excellent model for today's corporate player.
