Monkey Business creates interaction environments, which enable fluent flow of information and learning. I have been answering the question above since 2007 when I started monkeying around. Almost always I have answered the question with different kind of answer. Year 2010 I was studying in Australia doing my master degree. When I came back I noticed I could not answer the question what is Monkey Business at all. To make it easier for me I started to think what we were doing and what are things we are best at. I started to crystallize our core to make it easier to understand.
I started to go through the work that Monkey Business did during the year 2010 from seminars to the organizational change processes. I noticed that almost in every case the core thing what we did was to create an interaction environment, where participants could speak meaningful things about themselves and their organizations. The main thing is to create an atmosphere where people can speak from their hearth without the fear of being stupid or wrong. Antti Hannula the Chairman of the board of directors at Aldea Attorneys at Law Ltd. said it very well.
The function of Monkey Business is to remove the obstacles of natural interaction between human beings.
