Why Play Works.
Lucy Taylor and Tzuki Stewart
17 episodes
4 days ago
Do you have a niggling feeling, a secret hope, that work could be more joyful, more fun and (maybe) a little bit wilder? Do you sense deep down that doing great work doesn't need to be a slog? In Why Play Works, Lucy Taylor and Tzuki Stewart hear the stories of people who are radically reshaping the idea of work as play - from play practitioners to academics to organisations who take play seriously. How can working on serious problems be fun and delightful? Is play the opposite of work, or is it actually how we unlock success? How can reconnecting to our playfulness create more fulfilling and enlivening experiences of work? We investigate how we can harness the power of play to boost resilience, improve well-being and foster collaboration, connection and creativity in the way we work.

Adding play to your DNA

Adding play to your DNA

Play is the key to collaboration and co-operation. Work and play are intrinsically interlinked, and without play, people are unable to make connections that drive people forward. This is how innovator and trainer Tim Widdowson approaches play at work.

Tim is a partner and facilitator at the Culture Experiment and the So Team. He's also a guest lecturer on design thinking, innovation and collaboration at Oxford University's Said Business School. As a behaviour change specialist, keynote speaker and trainer, Tim's core focus is on developing and exploring the creative behaviours needed for cultures and businesses to flourish.

Things to consider

  • Play brings out childlike qualities, but doesn’t have to mean we’re childish.
  • Play offers a disruption to the status quo.
  • We need to make play more systemic in our culture, rather than bringing it out at certain moments.
  • We can all build in micro-interventions.
  • Play can be a vehicle to build bridges and show parts of ourselves we otherwise might not.
