Revealing Talent through the Power of Play - guiding HR Leaders to seamlessly integrate Gaming & Esports into their strategy.

Part 3/3: Forget the final score! For OTTO, the metagame Outplayed Community Brawl was never just about winning – it was about building a culture of agility, quick decision-making, and collaboration that reaches far beyond gaming. Huge thanks to yellow house GmbH as the winner and Bechtle for an unforgettable final Gauntlet showdown, and a shoutout to PwC Deutschland and BRANDAD Group AG for being fierce contenders throughout the group stage! When I spoke with Niels Schreiber after the Brawl, we weren’t focused on the scoreboard; we were reflecting on the growth and lessons the team took away. Gaming has become a powerful training ground for developing the skills that matter most in business: real-time problem-solving, resilience, and adaptability. What’s inspiring about OTTO is how they channel the energy and insights from gaming back into their work culture. Each challenge, every close call, and even the defeats during the Brawl turned into valuable lessons. The competitive, growth-focused mindset didn’t end with the Brawl; it’s now fueling their projects, meetings, and team dynamics. For me, this is the ultimate proof that gaming isn’t just play – it’s a strategic tool for business development. OTTO has shown that by leveraging gaming to develop people, the results are felt in the workplace, not just in the game. GG & WP to everyone involved! The dedication, skill, and teamwork displayed at the Outplayed CS2 Community Brawl was just AMAZING! Special thanks to Daniel Eschenbacher casting the finals and Matthias Ruhland as the ultimate Flex Player (Overlays) for this event 😍 Denise Ravekes Caroline Possberg Ildiko Peter Manuel Fuchs Christopher Flato Jürgen Krauß Natalia Streck Pia Büßecker Tobias Scholz #HR #TeamBuilding #Recruiting

Good point. Could it also be worth exploring how gaming principles can be used to enhance customer experiences? This could open up new engagement strategies. Gian Luca Vitale
