What Is Improvisation?
Apply improvisation deliberately to the situations in which that capability is relevant, with attention to the decisions, behaviours, or outputs that improvisation directly affects.
Why Does Improvisation Matter?
Improvisation matters when the outcome depends on doing more than the broad task itself; the specific capability described by improvisation can determine how accurately, clearly, efficiently, or appropriately the work is carried out.
What Does It Look Like?
Someone applying improvisation may:
- •uses improvisation deliberately rather than treating it as an automatic habit
- •checks the part of the result most affected by improvisation
- •adjusts the approach when the situation changes what improvisation requires
How to Develop Improvisation
You can develop it by:
- •choose a real task where improvisation is clearly involved and define the result you want to improve
- •observe how a more experienced person handles improvisation and record the specific decisions they make
- •review one completed task and identify where stronger improvisation would have changed the result
