Inside the Design — The Making Of Creating Better Cultures Through The Eight Play Personalities

In the quest to cultivate a vibrant corporate culture, many workplaces adopt trendy perks—think ping pong tables, kombucha on tap, and kindergarten-styles office spaces. Ones that mimic the offices of Silicon Valley. Yet these fancy perks can create issues. These perks don't cater to all employees and can promote cultures of forced fun. 

There is a better way to create a more vibrant culture. Join Paul Lopushinsky, founder of Playficient, for a unique session on the Eight Play Personalities. 

Learning Objectives:

• Learn what the Eight Play Personalities are and how they apply to your own life. 
• Learn why most organizations only cater to 1-3 of the Eight Play Personalities.
• Learn how to integrate the Eight Play Personalities into the workplace.
• Discover how to identify and celebrate the Play Personalities within your team. 

We'll start with Paul sharing the initial spark behind the Eight Play Personalities. Then, our program manager will lead a candid, facilitated discussion, digging into the practical steps and strategic decisions involved in bringing this program to life. We'll explore questions like:

• What was the catalyst that prompted Paul to turn his "big idea" into a tangible program?

• How did he define his audience and design clear objectives for the program?

• What challenges did he encounter during development, and how did he overcome them?

• What was his process for testing, refining, and eventually marketing the Eight Play Personalities program?
