Building Bridges of Trust: An Approach to Cultural Transformation

March 17th, 2022 Webinar:

The Delaware River Port Authority (DRPA/PATCO) was engaged in several large, mission-critical projects at a time when morale and trust, both internally and among external stakeholders, were low. They turned to lessons based on the principles of comedy improvisation, such as deep listening, empathy, and collaborative trust. Using a new strategic plan combining the tenets of servant-leadership and the tools of improvisational comedy, DRPA transformed its culture and produced award-winning projects. The Philadelphia Inquirer has the whole story here.

The skill of improvisation is increasingly valued by top executives today because they see in it a tool that enables their companies to be more nimble, flexible, and responsive. Join CEO John Hanson, Director of Strategic Initiatives Christina Maroney, and improvisor Nick Gillette to learn how introducing these essential skills changed the company from the top down. Hosted by the Northeast Transportation Workforce Center.
