🍿 The Brown Bag Sessions for Creativity & Innovation.

“It is amazing what people will
remember from a fun situation
versus a forced learning experience”

The most common initiative to foster an innovation culture is training programs that help them adopt different skills commonly used by tech companies and startups, such as agility & adaptability, initiative & entrepreneurship, and curiosity & imagination.

Activities that integrate food and learning are a success at many companies, and for obvious reasons: Food is one of the best ways to attract and encourage employees to participate in training and team-building sessions, without the mandatory calendar appointment. And those sessions are different than the traditional classroom sessions.

Apart from the food being a way to attract employees to these sessions, working with their hands and rolling up their sleeves, will activate their brain to be open to new knowledge and information. Food is also something that brings people together, which is why many times we prefer to chitchat in the kitchen and why many people say “the best conversations happen at the table”. Cooking and eating are definitely great ways to develop and put into practice soft skills.
