Invest in yourself by joining a full session of the popular competitive business simulation that teaches you how to link human capital priorities to business outcomes.

The fact is that HR leaders need to reach beyond understanding the people side of human capital management.  HR leaders need to understand the bigger picture as well as what matters most to the executive suite.  This session, integrated with the Interplay business simulation, is a hands-on experience that will give you a dynamic view of how your recommendations and decisions drive value for all the stakeholders of your organization.

Interplay has been called a “mini MBA-in-a-day” for good reason

It builds a broad understanding of the critical factors that influence success or failure in any organization. Originally created for both Apple and Microsoft, Interplay has been used by many other leading organizations. Based on this foundation, we have tailored the activities to specifically help HR leaders build business acumen.

Developed by our thought leader partners at 10,000 Feet, Interplay's live virtual edition fully recreates the game content, colorful game board, and competitive experience.

Working in teams, participants develop strategy and resolve business challenges. No matter which resolutions they come up with, the Interplay experiential learning process makes clear which decisions and activities have the greatest business impact on the company’s short and long-term success.

Bonus panel of HR leaders

As a bonus during the session, we have invited a panel of successful HR leaders to join for a networking and Q&A session.  You will have the opportunity to share key challenges you are facing and get advice from experts.

Your host: Steven Orova
