In a business world that’s more uncertain than ever it pays to be able to think on your feet. That’s why many top business schools now have improvisation classes.

Lakshmi Balachandra teaches Improvisational Leadership at MIT Sloan School of Management and is a guest lecturer for advanced negotiation students at Harvard Business School.
In performance improvisation it means listening to what someone else says, accepting what they say, and then building on that. In business terms it means accepting any idea that’s brought to the table and then taking that idea further
Kulhan said principles of improvisation can help anyone hone their business skills, and if you can’t get to an improvisation class you can still apply the fundamentals of improv to your own life.
