Worth a read this weekend...

Yeah well, I'm not sure that I get the whole 'mediators can learn from improv comedy' thing to be honest...

But quite a bit seems to have been written around the topic lately from;

...last month's Harvard Negotiation Newsletter What Negotiators Can Learn From Improv Comedy

...to Jeff Krivis' Stand-Up Comedy:Lessons For Mediators

...to Debra Gerardi's Developing Creativity and Intuition for Resolving Conflicts: The Magic of Improvisation

...to Robert Benjamin's Mediation As Theater And Negotiation As Performance Art

Reading the Harvard piece, seems to me the whole idea is a bit of a stretch... or am I just being a sad guy?
