Advantage Performance Group to Host Free Previews of Interplay™ Business Simulation in New York and Oakland, CA

Simulation Creates Measurable Business Impact through the Breakthrough Advantage Way™ Process that Gives Leaders and Managers a "Business-Owner" Mindset

TIBURON, Calif. (Mar. 16, 2005) — Advantage Performance Group (APG), one of the world's largest human performance consulting networks, today announced free previews of the Interplay™ business simulation from APG and 10,000 Feet™. Called a "mini-MBA," the simulation gives leaders and managers the competitive edge of a business-owner mindset—helping them make better, faster, more effective decisions. The free previews in New York on Mar. 17 and Oakland, CA on Mar. 24 enable training and development professionals to evaluate the unique benefits of the simulation.

At the free previews, attendees are introduced to the intense simulation environment of Interplay—designed to help professionals rise to a higher perspective and understand enterprise business drivers from a broader, more comprehensive viewpoint.

After a preview in Chicago on Mar. 10, the V.P. of training for a major corporation stated, "Interplay definitely stimulates and motivates better decision-making skills. I was impressed by how readily the simulation can be customized to meet our unique needs—to help us explore the actual consequences of the choices faced by our executives."

In today's increasingly decentralized, global, and time-challenged businesses, leaders and managers must continually improve the level of their game. Interplay incorporates the breakthrough Advantage Way™ process that drives business impact, helping leaders and managers elevate their skills and learn:

• How to make better decisions—for business survival.
• How to execute more effectively to maximize strategic goals.
• How to rise above individual interests to recognize the larger interplay of objectives within the organization—and ensure that actions support these objectives.
• How to view the business as if it is their own—and act accordingly.

Free previews of Interplay will be held in these cities:

• New York – Thursday, March 17, 2005
• Oakland, CA – Thursday, March 24, 2005

"There is a higher, C-Level, at which business owners operate and leaders and managers can become more effective. Interplay is one of the few experiential learning solutions that gives professionals the crucial perspective they need to rise to this level," said John Hoskins, founder and sales practice leader, Advantage Performance Group.

Interplay creates an exciting and enlightening real-world business atmosphere in which participants gain a fresh perspective about the complex drivers of business success. After Interplay, the Success Case methodology enables training and development professionals to determine precisely how leaders and managers are using what they learned to create real business value.

The simulation previews begin at 8:30 AM with a program from 9:00-4:30, with lunch provided at 12:00. There is no charge or obligation. Online registration can be reached at www.advantageperformance.com/rsvp/interplay/ or by calling 800-494-6646.
