Abstract
The paper reviews the implementation, observed effects
and further possibilities of the Improvise! -project
carried out between in 2010 - 2011 (see research report
Koivisto & Myllyoja, 2011). The project was designed
by improvisation theatre Stella Polaris (2013) and
research organization VTT together. The goal of the
project was to develop
internal and external communication capabilities of the
involved organizations, wherein improved communication
was seen as a route for organizational development and
change. In this paper, a process description of the
project is presented first. Another aim for a paper
consists of assessments on impacts in three involved
organizations. Thirdly, the possibilities for the
applicability of conducted processes and created method
are assessed.
