Case study: How improv transformed presentation skills in a multi-national organisation

In this case, executives within a multi-national organisation revolutionised their presentation skills, with improvisation as a not-so-secret ingredient.

History of the program

The Inspirational Presenter course was developed by Paul Z Jackson and Mark McKergow, originally for a UK Energy Company, where it ran 3-4 times a year for about 4 years; it was also adopted by several others organisations in the UK.

Jackson and McKergow were noted for their innovative approach to training, exemplified in their Accelerated Learning for Trainers program.  Paul’s background includes experience as a theatre director, BBC producer, journalist and founder of several impro comedy performing groups – all of which contributed to the original and distinctive elements in the IP course.
