PLAYFUL / WORK

Playful thinking, Serious impact

playful.work approaches business transformation through curiosity and experimentation. We combine technical expertise with creative exploration to help organizations find effective solutions that conventional approaches miss. Our belief is simple: work can feel like play, and produce better outcomes.

Build playfully

Make engaging with your processes joyful

We identify and solve workflow bottlenecks. By using value stream mapping and causal modeling as discovery tools, we clarify and surface system dynamics to help you design more effective processes. We work with teams to reduce organizational friction while improving outcomes.

We offer structured workshops to develop a value stream graph and action plan for your team.

Think locally

Your organizational knowledge is your moat. We help organizations leverage their differentiating knowledge with local AI models. We don't think you need AI that has memorized the internet for most problems–small models can maintain security and reduce cost while revealing meaningful insights. We help you build focused solutions rather than external dependencies.

We will work with your technical team to create an action plan that leverages knowledge–without sending it to someone else's servers.

Evolve your work

Work is changing. We help leaders adapt to post-COVID realities and AI advancements by evaluating fundamental assumptions about how work happens and its impact. We collaborate to create environments where technology helps people reach their potential.
