ABOUT | The Puzzler Company

About You

Let's face it. You've got a WHOPPER of a problem. Perhaps you or your organization must:

Innovate the Future

Change (When

Change is Hard)

Stand Out

from the Crowd

Improve

Institutional Culture

Amplify

Income & Impact

Build Consensus

Promote Your Idea

Move from

Success to Significance

Get Something Done

Stop the pain

So you build a problem-solving community that dives in valiantly.

But solutions are underwhelming, a far cry from the bold visioning required. Proposals feel oddly

familiar--repackaged status quo with minor surface tweaks.

Worse yet, your team is at odds. Competing priorities and a lack of focus mean conversation

leaps unpredictably, possibly landing in paralysis.

What should you do?

We Reimagined Innovation

While design thinking has become a celebrated phenomenon, it is just one of a hundred ways to solve a problem. Known for innovating innovation, The Puzzler Company’s flexible, powerful approach is applicable to a wide range of challenges and sectors.

We Gamify Problem-Solving

Our methodology turns problems into GAMEs. This engaging approach makes problem-solving fun while generating extraordinary results. GAME stands for:

We Boost Teams

Even the best intentioned groups suffer from misalignment, personality prickliness, and leadership flaws. A host of Puzzler Company tools can help!

We Embrace Diversity and Inclusion

Diverse teams are exponentially more likely than homogenous ones to discover the extraordinary. Though this approach introduces challenges, it also cultivates empathy, sensitivity, and growth potential. Our programs are known for engaging varied participant mosaics spanning a range of ages, specialties, and backgrounds.

We are Creative Artists

Creativity is embedded within our souls. In addition to working as lauded speakers, authors, and problem-solving facilitators, Puzzler Company leaders are highly trained artist-innovators with collective backgrounds in music, dance, theatre, and visual art.
