Introducing play at work seems like a mismatched idea, which is why author Begoña Pino wants business owners and managers to Join the Playful Revolution. She examines creative mindsets, confidence, and environments that boost productivity and team collaboration.
Through research and personal experience, Pino presents processes and tools to bring imagination into the workplace and makes a strong case for inclusion and diversity as a core component of innovation. In this book, you’ll find activities that result in:
- Team members and leaders finding inspiration and tools for creativity and new ideas.
- Fast growing startups and high stakes project teams developing team cohesion for better communication and productivity.
- HR personnel sharing activities for employees to bond, relieve stress, and feel more engaged.
Join the Playful Revolution explores the intersection of creativity, play, and work. It encourages the discovery of a different way to manage a business. Introducing a culture of play to the workplace elevates innovation, productivity, engagement, and team happiness. In the long run, as the work benefits, the company benefits overall.
What other readers are saying:
"There are books that go from the hand to the heart. This one comes from a heart and goes to your hands, because Join The Playful Revolution is a call to action that appeals to the child inside you, the one who still wants to play to change the world. Join the movement!" Carlos y José Ochoa, Creators of Element4.es
"After 5 years using gamification to boost innovation, I am still surprised how it helps to foster Creative Thinking. As Begoña says it creates a safe environment where people forget to be careful or politically correct. They are not afraid to be disruptive as maybe they could get some points… And gamification is especially powerful when playing in teams!
If you feel the word play could have a negative perception in your environment, for example a conservative culture or boss, just use the expression serious games and it will make it easier for you to convince. Thanks Begoña for helping to develop the playful culture and to give us a lot of tips to put it in practice." Phillippe Delespesse - Founder & CEO Inteligencia Creativa/Binnakle Serious Games
"Why should there be a playful revolution? Why should games and players' minds do the trick? Don't we need innovation teams to work seriously hard on tackling our world’s biggest challenges? We need play because it gets the best out of people. As shown by Begoña: Play connects people like no other activity. Play makes people forget hierarchy, status, anxiety, difference or risk - and simply makes us engage to learn, play and excel. Play ignites the childlike mind in all of us which then becomes the source of creativity, curiosity, willingness to try out and team up in heated ambition. This well-written book by Begoña Pino gives invaluable research insight, practical tips how to engage in play as a team, shows a leader how to build new creativity and engagement levels. As an innovation leadership coach for teams and (often frustrated) executives and team leaders, this will become part of my coaching practice." Dagmar Boettger - Founder and Head Coach at Ignition Global
“Joining the playful revolution will put a smile on your face, get you into creative and innovative mode and take the stress and fear out of today's hyper-complex post-pandemic business environment. If you want to be happy, start playing now and buy the book." Ivan Marquez - Innovation and Business Development Director at 67Pulsaciones - The Business Agency.
