The METS Center — A great place to host events in Cincinnati
Last week (4/26/07) I taught a two-day class on Innovation Games® at the METS Center in Erlanger, KY. Serving the greater Cincinnati area, I found the METS center one of the finest facilities I’ve ever used for a training and/or game. The staff was friendly—and helpful. The food was excellent. Most importantly, the facilities were tremendous. The AV options were rich, and everything worked, the first time, and every time throughout the two days. The walls were geared for facilitation, so taping stuff on the walls, using Innovation Games® materials, was easy.
Based on my experience, I can confidently recommend the METS center for focus groups, classes, offsite meetings, and presentations. And no, I wasn’t paid anything for this endorsement :-).

Recently, I participated in Luke Hohmann’s Innovation Games workshop at the METS Center. I found the Games to be highly interactive, thoroughly relevant, and very useful. The power of Innovation Games become very evident to me when I applied the “Spider Web” game to a faciliatation meeting with a new client. A very clear picture emerged as to how my client interacts with the world and how it needs to be seen by all of its key stakeholders.
The”game’ started out a bit slowly, as participants had to get accustomed to participating in it. As they warmed up to it, momentum began to build, and there was a lot accomplished. Furthermore, this exercise spurred on energy and the creativity needed to the subsequent sessions in the meeting.
