Thank you for the hard work and effort you put into this week’s conference. The feedback we have received has been exceptionally positive…without exaggerating all the attendees were engaged, entertained and empowered. For Susan and I..taking a risk where we could not predict totally or determine the outcomes ..we believe paid off massively.

Richard Stokes Head of Performance Development

Impromptu created a role-play experience around a highly complex, commercial scenario that was realistic, credible and extremely impactful for all who took part. We found Impromptu a very professional organisation – flexible, engaging and easy to deal with.

Jacquie Millward Head of Commercial Capability

W2’s and Impromptu’s creative and innovative approach to delivery of safety leadership training has had very positive feedback from the 350 + personnel who have now been through it; resulting in greater engagement and active participation within teams and across the whole workforce.

David Forsyth HSE Director

What we get from Impromptu are characters who not only play the part of a range of people, they are then able to provide feedback of the highest order.

Tom Smith Product Director

I have been delighted with Impromptu’s work to help us embed our contribution framework. They have acted as true partners and the feedback from delegates on the quality of the development has been outstanding. The Impromptu team have shown their ability to deliver to front line staff through to Board room.

Paul Renshaw Director of Organisational Development and Corporate Affairs

What sets Impromptu apart is their calibre, rigour and quality. They are able to work organically, at a very high level, with real depth and I trust them.

We have an international team of role players, facilitators and writers and have delivered programmes in more than 20 countries around the world.

Our team comes from a variety of professional backgrounds – actors, writers, lawyers, accountants, academics, sales and marketing professionals, medics, business owners. That experience combined with highly developed feedback skills and the ability to be flexible, creates memorable, individualised learning experiences for participants.

We’re a friendly bunch, guided by Steven Covey’s maxim – ‘seek first to understand….’ – we will listen, listen again and listen some more, before coming back to you with a creative response that will make learning practical, enjoyable, challenging and transferable.

What sets us apart? The calibre of our people, the rigour of our approach and the quality of our work. 100% of clients who responded to our last survey believe that the presence of Impromptu on their training event added significant value on every occasion.

New Workshop from Impromptu

We’ve been doing a lot of thinking about inclusion, dialogue and empathy. We are delighted to announce this new workshop to help build empathy, understanding and dialogue in the workplace.

Drawing on the experience of theatre company Ice and Fire, Impromptu has developed this new interactive workshop. We utilise the skills of professional actors and facilitators along with actual stories and testimonies of individuals to stimulate dialogue and exploration across a range of themes relating to inclusion, diversity, mental well being and engagement at work.
