{Make Little Distinction Between Work & Play}

We are driven by the core ideology "make little distinction between work and play." If you think back to the wonder years that were dominated by playtime, where there were endless hours to fill and the only agenda was to be captivated in the moment, you can see the awesomeness in play. Even though we were clueless at the time, games like kickball, soccer, double-dutch, battleship, blocks and tag were developmental exercises in resourcefulness, planning, strategy, design, decision making, creativity, risk taking and vision.

The Wonders Of  Play {In The 21st Century Business Environment}

Think about those wonder years of play. We did not avoid obstacles, we looked for them. We voluntarily challenged ourselves. We eagerly tackled insurmountable odds like height, speed, resources and lack of money. In the excitement of this discovery process we learned about things like passion, potential, teamwork, and we learned that the more we tested ourselves, the more we discovered about the world... and how we fit into it. We learned how to fumble, we learned how to fall and we learned how to fail. More importantly, we discovered how to accept failure as part of the game, and we discovered ability to embrace failure as part of something bigger. We'd pick ourselves up and figure out how to win, remedy the malfunction, or flee the imagined danger of any dragon.

Far from frivolous, child-like activities strengthened our resolve as well as our skills. Play gave us courage and instilled confidence. There's no doubt about it, board games, sports, pretending, exploring and building things, required a sense of wonder, discovery, vision and passion so that we could invent, analyze, innovate, socialize, plan and problem solve with sustainability. There's no secret about it, these are the very character attributes and skills required to cultivate the kind of boundryless thinking that leads to radical innovation in the 21st century business environment People • Brands &  Organisations.

Lets start with what we know about the synergy of a playground. A playground is a place for wonder, discovery, vision, passion, play (activity) and radical innovation. It's a boundryless place for kids to not only discover their ability to wonder, but also practice using it. It's a place where kids discover the richness of vision. Kids on a playground don't just take an approach to everyday discovery, they take an approach to discovery with every step. Kids discover vision to try things for the first time, and they re-discover vision to re-invent them all. (insert visual: synergy of a playground)

It's a place where kids discover potential, possibility and ability physically, mentally, emotionally and socially. It's a place where kids learn about calculated risk taking and what it means to embace failure for a shot at glory. It's a place that not only shapes courage and confidence in growth but also the evolution of each little artists' folio. It's a wonderfull place for strategic planning and the analysis that goes into the design of creative problem solving. The synergy of a playground is a place where every leap is a leap of faith. It's a boundryless place {download the SP white paper on wonder}.
