Playful facilitation
A more human and engaging way of transitioning from complex challenges to meaningful outcomes. Our play, strategy, and creative process expertise create a safe space for everyone to build trust and empower change.
Three types of sessions
Ideation
Is there an idea you are struggling to communicate? A challenge you need to solve? A campaign, product or service you need to come up with new solutions for?
All humans are capable of coming up with ideas. But making ideas that stick, ideas that differ, ideas for the future, or ideas that lay either strategically inside or creatively outside the box – that’s not always an easy task. At Stupid Studio, we have worked with many different types of clients to help them crack a challenge and come up with solutions for their campaign, product or service, by taking them through one of our Ideation Sessions. These workshops and sprints can last anywhere from a few hours to multiple days, but no matter the length, we always ensure that we use play as a way to create a safe space with freedom to fail, letting new ideas play with the old, and connect the dots we didn't dare connect before.

Trust building
Are you and your team looking to get closer together, collaborate better, and build trust within your organisation?
Teamwork requires, well work — just look at sports. It doesn’t always come down to bringing together the most talented or smartest people in the room, but rather on how to make everyone feel valued, seen and heard. Which can be done in many ways. At Stupid Studio we like to create team-building sessions for our clients that are infused with curiosity, creativity and wonder, or which are structured through difficult group challenges and a spark of healthy competitions. However, instead of team-building we call it trust-building, because we believe that trust breeds magic within a team that will last long after the session is over and you’re back to your normal workday.

New ways of working
Do you feel un-inspired? Have a need to shake up the way you work and your in-house processes? Maybe there is a behaviour you’re hoping to encourage, or some organisational changes that need to be put into place?
Driving change within the organisation takes much more than one-off sessions. It’s about behavioural change, re-wiring team processes and meeting individuals where they are at. Our sessions called “New ways of working” focus on the transformation of the daily process for you and your team, giving you inputs, methods and tools to take with you into your organisation afterwards. These sessions are often created as a series of events where we get deep into how you work and what you hope to achieve going forward. But creating “New ways of working” sessions, can also mean simply doing a few hour long session where we invite you in for an imaginative and surprising day, giving you a taste of how you can do the things you do in a totally different way, and inspire you to do more – creatively, playfully, passionately and intentionally.

What makes it playful?
Infusing play
When we facilitate sessions, we always infuse them with some level of play and playfulness – depending on your appetite for it. Why? Because at Stupid Studio we believe that our best work is done by playing around – and so is yours!
By now it has been scientifically proven that playing makes us happier and healthier, it makes us more open and okay with change, it gets us closer to each other, and it sparks new ways of thinking – making our ideas more creative, imaginative, innovative and surprising.
Our toolbox
Made in real life and with real clients. Our activity toolbox is designed to help you co-create people and planet-positive changes in your organisation. More than 50 methods inspired by the world of theatre, fiction writing, meditative practices, sports and other – all of which are infused with qualities of play. A lot of these methods are bundled together in something we call “Sensible Futures”. Check it out here at www.sensiblefutures.co
At the studio
We are in a constant need of boosting our energy, making our brains tingle and getting our imagination juices flowing. We want to laugh, connect, experiment, tell stories, come up with solutions, and occasionally fuck up. We want to build things that can surprise and delight us, and fill up our life at work with joy – with our team, clients, and the projects we do.
Check out the video below to see how play and playfulness unfold through our mindset and attitude, the way we work – our tools, processes and approaches to a design project and lastly, as creative outputs themselves and the projects we deliver.
