Devin McNulty is the self-described “head of braintending” at a consulting organization called Funmentum Labs. By tapping into the powers of fun and play, Devin has helped companies like ESPN, Google, Credit Karma, Logitech and Ubisoft unlock group creativity and create environments where people look forward to brainstorming and solving problems together.
Those of you who have been with me for a while may remember that Devin and I teamed up last year to run a series of live workshops around the theme of fun at work.
This year, Devin and I are experimenting—one might even say playing—with a different approach. Instead of live workshops, we’re inviting members of the Fun Squad (paid subscribers) to share issues, challenges, or projects that they’re struggling with at work that they would like Devin’s help in solving. These could be specific challenges (for example, you might be tasked with organizing a work retreat and want ideas for how to make it more enjoyable and effective) or they might be more general challenges, such as how to create culture and community when everyone is working remotely.
Each month, Devin and I will choose one of these challenges, and then will have a conversation (occasionally with the person who requested help, if they’re up for it) about ways to possibly address or solve it. We’ll then share the resulting ideas and conversation with the entire community. In other words, you’ll be able to benefit from Devin’s insights even if you’re not part of the Fun Squad—though I hope you’ll consider joining us.
