Featured In The Lab
This month, we’re coming together to celebrate the release of Gamestorming 2.0, the long-awaited update to the best-selling book on creative collaboration. With three new chapters and 95 powerful techniques, Gamestorming 2.0 shows us how to design enlivening group experiences that spark creativity, deepen connection, and make work more engaging—whether in-person or online. During our celebration, you’ll have the chance to play some of the new games featured in the book—Event Horizon, Hidden Variables, Squiggle Birds, Coffee Question, and Altitude. We’ll explore how these playful techniques can elevate collaboration and give away a copy of the book. Join us, play a few games, and win a copy while we honor this exciting milestone for the facilitation and innovation community.

Featured Facilitators
Reshma Khan
Reshma Aziz Khan is Kenyan and grew up in Nairobi, the Green City in the Sun. She has worked in the non-profit sector for over a decade, and has led team strategy, organizational development and transformation initiatives in various parts of Africa as well as Asia, the Middle East and North America. Her keen awareness on cross-cultural engagement allows her to respectfully navigate and work with people of all cultures, mind-sets and diversities. What she says on her purpose as a facilitator: ‘‘I am a CONDUIT FOR EFFECTIVE DIALOGUE AND DECISION MAKING.I create and hold a safe space for participants so that all voices feel that they can speak and be heard. Pushing my own boundaries, also actively encourage divergent thinking, and encourage generative conflict and differing viewpoints to be shared, and hold space for individuals to work through that discomfort towards then converging towards shared ownership on a decision. I aim for every participant to leave each session knowing their specific purpose going forward and feeling that they can get behind whatever decision was made, and feeling that they were fully included and validated.’
