It’s day 5 of our 30 Day Brainstorm Challenge – Pokemon Go, Go, Go. Today the daughter and I went to Downtown Disney. A pretty cool place, lots of restaurants and plenty of shopping. Also lots of people playing Pokemon Go. Watching people of all ages, play Pokemon Go was my aha moment for the day. I look forward to your thoughts on the game and how it can apply to corporate learning.
