Games.  Professional development.

Two things, both of which get me very excited.  I decided to start making a list of organizations and individuals that employ games either to help individuals develop professional skills or to enable team-building.  From my personal contacts, these are the following groups who use games in a business context:

• Action Centered Training, Inc. - I was introduced to Ron Roberts by way of Mary Couzin.  Ron has an incredible passion toward professional development and not only uses, but invents games to use in team-building and corporate training endeavors.
• iO (formerly improvOlympic) - Paul Bellos reached out to me after my first GameTime Connections event was promoted in Brad Spirrison's Chicago Sun Times column.  We met in-person and hit it off as we share similar values toward play, creativity and professional development.  iO does great improv shows and has adapted their training programs to support corporate needs.
• The Go Game - My brother-in-law took part in an implementation of The Go Game as a large-scale team-building event for one of his business organizations.  Aside from wire figures dancing like gorillas on the splash page, I get the impression that these people know games and have created a unique approach to team development.

Who else is using games within a corporate framework?  Comment here about the individuals, groups or companies from whom you have experienced team-building or professional development games.
