MBA-caliber, game-based learning
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 subsequently been used by many other leading organizations.
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 and contribute to the company’s short and long-term success.
Interplay's new virtual edition fully recreates the game content, colorful game board, and competitive experience. Contact us for details!
Leadership
The Inclusive Leader virtual edition
A positive, focused, discovery-based learning experience that provides concrete actions, behaviors and strategies to meet these needs:
- Leaders generally know their organizations need to be able to attract, retain and fully engage a diverse mix of employees, yet leaders don’t always create the conditions where this occurs
- Many programs related to diversity and inclusion focus heavily on unconscious bias and leave leaders more aware of their biases, but without clear strategies for addressing them
- Most leaders inherently want to be inclusive and need positive opportunities to identify specific actions, behaviors and strategies they can adopt to be more inclusive

Decision Mojo Virtual Learning Journey™ (VLJ)
Decision Mojo VLJ™ is both a master class in decision-making and a highly applied virtual learning lab containing many useful tips and techniques.
There is never a guarantee that leaders and professionals will always make good decisions, even in the most benign circumstances. Being able to consistently make high-quality decisions in challenging circumstances is an even rarer skill.
Drawing on the most recent research in neuroscience, decision theory and behavioral economics, Decision Mojo™ helps us recognize key cognitive traps that can cause sub-optimum decisions. It then teaches a number of specific strategies for avoiding the traps and making more effective decisions.
AccelerateME
The AccelerateME program from Career Revolution addresses the career concerns of a new generation of professionals and beliefs such as “I don’t have career path,” “I’m not getting feedback,” and “My manager isn’t coaching me.”
By focusing on building killer career management instincts, emerging professionals will learn to navigate their career progression in an agile business where the concept of a concrete career ladder is no longer feasible.
Participants can attend a virtual workshop, complete a mobile 360-degree feedback assessment, and debrief their results in small group mentor circles or one-on-one coaching sessions. Managers can also participate.
Sales Performance

A plug & play set of critical sales modules that enable sellers and managers to be great when it counts, using the concepts of Accelerator Selling.

All three options can be delivered digitally, or for the in-person or hybrid methods, using paper materials. We perform check-in calls to ensure success.
