Rare and Dlala to discuss leadership through times of change at the GamesIndustry.biz HR Summit
Craig Duncan, Harriet Manson, AJ Grand-Scrutton and Gemma Foster to lead the conversation
Leaders from Rare and Dlala will join a special panel to discuss how to support and lead development teams during times of intense change.
The panel will end this year's GamesIndustry.biz HR Summit, which will take place at London's Royal Institution on September 18. Tickets are on sale here.
Rare studio boss Craig Duncan and chief of staff Harriet Manson will join Dlala CEO Aj Grand-Scrutton and COO Gemma Foster in a discussion around the rapid rate of change happening inside and outside of the games industry, such as on-going challenges posed by economic, political and global unrest. With Rare sharing insight from within a major Microsoft-owned AAA studio, and Dlala discussing their experiences on the indie side, the discussion will centre on the role of leadership in helping their employees navigate change, and will offer actionable advice and tips for leaders and HR professionals.
