In „Playful Organisations“ we focus on the many ways playing can be beneficial and create value for com­panies and organisations. We see an increasing number of companies becoming interested in deploying games, play, playful methods and mindsets, and we are really excited about these tendencies. We would like to support this and inspire more people to consider playing at work. During the festival, we host an array of talks and workshops that introduce relevant ideas, cases and methods, allowing you to get hands-on experiences and bring home a customised set of tools.

Playfulness is a critical counter­point in leadership especially in organisations where the rate of change and the volatility of the markets we operate in causes many to turn to overseriousness as a way of coping.

CounterPlay // Playful Organisations

CounterPlay is an international festival exploring and challenging the role of games, play and playfulness across domains,

in our jobs and our lives. We believe play is a powerful force that can be leveraged for a multitude of purposes.

“The shortest distance between two people is a smile – and that is why we always use playfulness, when creating engaging customer expe­riences for brands. It is all about having fun on the consumer’s premises, hereby cre­ating attention about the brand, and ultimately building long-last­ing brand loyalty between brand and customer”- Playground Marketing

“Play is not merely an activity. It is an approach to Leading and Lear-ning, a mindset that transforms how we create and connect”- Elaine Rumboll

“With play organizations can deploy learning, innovation and change in a way that empowers people and helps them to become moresuccessful.”- Alper Çugun, Hubbub
