In today’s fast-paced business environment, where innovation and creativity are key to staying ahead, sometimes the best ideas come not from endless strategy meetings but from simply playing. At ACI Worldwide’s 2024 yearly meet, held at the picturesque Radisson Blu Resort in Alibaug, this idea was put into action with an unexpected twist – LEGO based client engagement activity designed to engage clients in a truly unique way.
Embracing Play as a Serious Strategy
“Play is serious business.” This idea might seem odd in a corporate setting, but it holds a powerful truth. Play isn’t just for kids; it’s key to creativity, problem-solving, and teamwork for adults too. With this in mind, the ACI Worldwide team introduced a LEGO based client engagement activity at their annual gathering—a bold move that brought unexpected success.
A Surprising and Enthusiastic Reception
When clients arrived for the session, many were surprised to see LEGO bricks at a corporate event. Initial skepticism quickly faded as everyone enthusiastically engaged in the activity. The room buzzed with energy as clients, many handling LEGO for the first time in years, eagerly dove in.
This session wasn’t just about building models; it was about building relationships, sparking creativity, and fostering community. Each participant’s unique perspective led to a diverse array of creations, reflecting the individuality of everyone involved.
The Power of Play in Professional Settings
The session’s success highlights the power of play in professional settings. Using LEGO encourages out-of-the-box thinking, breaks down barriers, and fosters open communication. It reminds us that creativity often flourishes when we allow ourselves to think freely and have fun.
By the session’s end, it was clear that the experience left a lasting impression. Clients connected in meaningful ways and took away an important life lesson about the value of play.
Growing Old by Stopping Play
“We don’t stop playing because we grow old; we grow old because we stop playing.” This quote resonated deeply with many in the room, highlighting the importance of maintaining playfulness for both personal well-being and professional success.
By integrating play into their annual meet, ACI Worldwide showcased their commitment to innovation and out-of-the-box thinking. The LEGO session went beyond being just an icebreaker—it was a strategic move to inspire creativity, strengthen client relationships, and emphasize that play is, indeed, serious business.
As the event wrapped up, there was a buzz of excitement in the air. The LEGO session had been a hit, and many clients left wondering how they could incorporate similar activities into their own work environments. It’s not often that a corporate event leaves participants with such a strong desire to play more.
For ACI Worldwide, this session might just mark the beginning of a new tradition – one where creativity, play, and client engagement go hand in hand. After all, if a few hours with LEGO bricks can have such a profound impact, imagine what could be achieved by making play a regular part of the corporate culture.
