Playing with Sharp Objects: Gamestorming with Razorfish

Naturally, when I describe the process of Gamestorming, it immediately begs the question: But what does it LOOK LIKE? It is visual thinking, after all. These images are of a recent graphically-facilitated session with combo client Razorfish and AT&T. It was a small group of 15 power-thinkers and it lasted two days with FANTASTIC results. And if you’re wondering if those results are automatic due to our process, the answer is no. Gamestorming dramatically enhances thinking, memory and creativity, but it can’t work its magic without buy-in from the participants. Great facilitators, of course, increase the odds of success and Bumper Carroll, hands down the funniest facilitator I’ve ever worked with, co-designed the agenda with me, adding his own brand of Second City improv. Together we offered powerful results for the client and a smart (and occasionally silly) time was had by all. Click on the photograph to see more on Flickr.
