What’s the context of the evaluation?

The Catalysts went through a “Challenge” with PLACE: a 2-hour interactive learning experience online.

As a roleplay, they were taking part in the recruitment process of GoToHarvest – a fictional company that has been created by PLACE to enable role-play based immersive learning. In order to be hired at GoToHarvest, they needed to produce a video profile (1’30 – 2′ in length) that answers these five questions:

1. What role are you applying to at GoToHarvest?
2. What skills can you bring in this role
3. How do you want to grow professionally in GoToHarvest?
4. What personal values will you bring to GoToHarvest? And how do you want to bring them to life?
5. What leadership features do you have?

The video profiles, produced during the Challenge, are those you evaluated during the feedback sprint, as an industry expert.

During the Challenge the Catalysts had access to two videos:

• The presentation of GoToHarvest
• An expert brief that outlines what the video will be evaluated on.

We have included them both here for your reference.
