Inside the Design — The Making of Creating Better Cultures through the Eight Play Personalities - February MLE

This is our second "Inside the Design" program, in which we interview L&D professionals who are creating their own impactful talent development programs!

Many organizational cultures are built on a 'kindergarten' model: mandatory fun, office perks, and a one-size-fits-all approach to engagement. But when L&D practitioners try to implement these 'trendy' solutions, they often meet resistance, skepticism, and a 'race to the bottom' in morale.

There is a more rigorous way to design for engagement.

In this installment of Inside the Design, we’re going behind the curtain with Paul Lopushinsky, founder of Playficient. 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?

Paul Lopushinsky (Law-puh-shin-ski) is the founder of Playficient, a consultancy helping organizations create better employee experiences.

Areas of focus for Playficient include the following:

Paul has worked with organizations and associations such as Ronald McDonald House, The British Columbia Lottery Corporation, UXPressia, the Society for Human Resource Management, the Association for Talent Development and Culture Amp. HIs work has been featured in the BBC, Harvard Business Review, Association for Talent Development, and People Managing People. 

Despite being Canadian, Paul can name all American Presidents in order.
