Session Focus: Integrating Art and Interactivity to Enhance Critical Thinking and Problem-Solving Skills in Professional Development Training Experience Team Building Subarctic Survival Simulation | Human Synergistics with the brightest minds in talent development. Join senior talent development leaders for a bold, immersive afternoon where the art of learning meets the science of performance. Hosted inside Chicago’s Quari Ice Factory—a striking space where creativity, ice, and industrial chic collide—this interactive professional development experience centers on the Subarctic Survival Simulation, one of Human Synergistics’ most popular and powerful team-building tools. You’ll be dropped (figuratively!) into a scenario where you and your peers have just crash-landed on the remote shores of Laura Lake in subarctic Canada. Armed with only 15 salvaged items and the collective brainpower of your team, you’ll need to prioritize, problem-solve, and make high-stakes decisions to “stay alive.” Reserve your spot today, and get ready to engage and learn in an entirely new way. Why attend? 🧊 Step outside the box: Trade slides and scripts for scenario-based learning that drives behavior change. 🧠 Sharpen problem-solving skills: Explore how diverse perspectives unlock better decisions—under pressure. 🤝 Elevate collaboration: Experience firsthand how synergy (or lack thereof) impacts outcomes. 🎨 Infuse creativity into L&D: Hosted at the creative epicenter of Quari Ice, this isn’t your average workshop.

“Because wisdom cannot be told. Action/involvement is vital to how people learn. We learn by doing.” -- Elaine Bernard, Ph.D., Labor & Worklife Program, Harvard Law School
