Hear me out. They have more in common than you might think. 10 years ago, I founded Sketch Development with the idea that businesses could build better products and release them faster if they adopted principles from the sketch comedy world.
I already knew my (admittedly brief) time with SNL had shaped my approach to product development more than my MBA and my work as a software development leader. The show's famous principle, "We don't go on because we're ready, we go on because it's 11:30" isn't just for comedy - it's a powerful tool for fostering innovation in product development.
10 years later, we've validated that the same approach works for startups, SMBs, and even the Fortune 50.

Harness the core concepts of agility and the rapid-fire, evolving genius of sketch comedy to build adaptable, high-performing teams. I hope you'll walk away from this session with renewed perspectives, actionable insights, and that special contentment that comes after a few good laughs.
Anyone can benefit from infusing their business with more agility. I've seen it first-hand in organizations ranging from cybersecurity startups to Fortune 50 healthcare giants. Whether you're in finance, insurance, manufacturing, or any other industry, you can benefit by taking a page from SNL's book.

This way, we can dismantle creativity-stifling corporate culture to create more dynamic, effective teams and genuinely inspiring work environments. Learn more here.
