Interplay
Successfully Manage the Forces That Drive Success
 Program Benefits
Interplay™, from 10,000 Feet, is an enlightening business simulation that helps professionals understand and manage the interplay of forces that drive their organization's success. Interplay develops the C-level capabilities embodied by highly effective managers. These managers understand the organizational, market, and financial implications of their decisions. They plan, organize, and manage resources in ways that maximize the value of their group to the organization. They also instigate cross-organizational synergies and lead collaborative initiatives that challenge silo-based thinking.
Interplay develops these insights and skills by immersing participants in an intense practice field that reflects the real challenges of managing knowledge and resource capital. In this fast-paced simulation, participants compete to develop critical perspectives and capabilities in the areas most crucial to business success: decision- making, value creation, resource negotiation, cross-functional collaboration, strategic thinking, and business and financial acumen. Professionals who experience Interplay immediately apply its principles to:
- better align decisions and actions with organizational goals
- manage and grow all the assets of the organization
- more strategically deploy internal and external resources
- influence more effectively under competitive, fast-paced conditions
- facilitate collaborative decision-making while also competing for individual goals
- understand the impact of decisions on key financial metrics
- identify opportunities for strengthening the organization
Program Description
Interplay creates an exciting and enlightening real-world business atmosphere in which participants gain a fresh perspective about the complex drivers of business success. During the one-day simulation, teams of four to five participants create and manage a simulated company over five financial periods. To compete effectively, the teams must skillfully manage the tangible (financial), customer and external (sales and marketing), people (human resource), and organizational (internal process) assets of their company. Specifically, they must plan and allocate resources, satisfy demanding customers and employees, make decisions under conditions of uncertainty, manage through critical market events, and prepare and report financial statements.
Interactive learning tools, customized situations, and challenging group exercises help teams develop a strategic focus, and then plan and execute effectively. After Interplay, participants are able to immediately apply key insights and skills to better manage the interplay of factors that drive the success of their businesses.

Interplay is designed for groups of 12-100 participants. Components include multi-faceted, board-based company maps; action tents; market timers; capability and value markers; equity, liability, and cash chips; individual team Score Boards; and Wall-of-Fame Leader Boards. Market events, internal/external projects, organizational and financial metrics, and team exercises can be customized to each organization.
