Topic: Think Together. Decide Together. Create Together.
Presented By: Clever Doodle Design®
Program Overview Description:
Collab-a-Doodle® is a live, interactive art experience designed to strengthen teams through creativity and collaboration. Guided by a facilitator, attendees participate in structured creative thinking and visualization activities that encourage open communication, collaboration, and consensus-building.
Each participant contributes their unique perspective, which is woven together into a shared artistic vision. A live artist then brings this vision to life in real time, transforming the group’s ideas into a large-scale work of art.
The process not only results in a beautiful, finished piece, but also provides teams with a memorable experience that fosters stronger connections, reinforces cultural alignment, and demonstrates the power of working together toward a common goal.
Key Learning Objectives
1. Strengthen Team Cohesion
Objective: Participants will experience how individual contributions can merge into a
unified outcome.
Description: By engaging in a collective art project, employees learn to see their unique
perspectives as valuable pieces of a larger whole — building a stronger sense of belonging, trust, and team identity.
2. Enhance Communication Skills
Objective: Teams will practice effective communication in a low-stakes, creative
environment.
Description: Through facilitated visualization and creative-thinking exercises, participants gain opportunities to share ideas openly, listen actively, and collaborate visually — skills that transfer directly into workplace problem-solving.
3. Foster Collaboration and Consensus-Building
Objective: Employees will learn how to align diverse voices toward a shared vision.
Description: The process encourages individuals to negotiate, compromise, and find
consensus, reinforcing the importance of collective decision-making in building
successful, aligned teams.
4. Encourage Creative Problem-Solving
Objective: Participants will apply creativity to approach challenges from new angles.
Description: By experimenting with visual expression and abstract thinking, employees
practice innovative problem-solving techniques, sparking fresh perspectives they can use in their daily roles.
5. Reinforce Organizational Culture and Alignment
Objective: Teams will connect workplace values with shared artistic expression.
Description: The collaborative art piece becomes a living metaphor for the organization’s culture — illustrating alignment around core values, shared purpose, and the collective vision of the team.
