In this post, you'll get a quick peek at our three methodology-based tracks: Know & Teach the Rules, Follow the Action & Keep Score and Provide a Stake in the Outcome for the 2014 Gathering of Games Conference. These three tracks focus on the fundamental practices of The Great Game of Business, yet offer new material for every learning level. Take a look at the overviews for these three tracks as well as a rundown of the sessions in each track.
The first step in implementing and sustaining The Game in your organization is to ensure that you are prepared to operate an open-book company. This entails analyzing and preparing your management team to communicate in a transparent fashion, educating your employees on basic business and financial concepts and engaging your employees in the process. The Know & Teach the Rules track features sessions that will help your team develop or improve on your current open-book culture.
Here's a summary of sessions:
Once you've opened the books, you need to have a consistent rhythm for communicating and following the ever-changing score (the financials) as well as strong strategies for continuing to engage your team during the process. Speakers from a variety of industries will share their tips for engaging and communicating with employees.
Here's what's in store:
Why would employees want to play The Game if there is no clear reward for winning…or the risk of failure?

You'll hear from speakers who are ready to give you tips for rewarding your team that will span from no-cost, to low-cost to self-funding.
