Talent Strategy

From KPIs to KVIs: What HR Leaders Can Learn from Gamers About Energy, Performance & Longevity

with Toan Nguyen

Thursday 9 July 16:50 – 17:20 Stage 4

About This Session

Why measuring output is outdated — and how vitality becomes the ultimate performance metric. KPIs measure one side of the business - the output? But what about the input? KVIs (Key Vitality Indicators) measure whether people can keep performing. In this talk, we explore how leading organizations shift from output tracking to energy intelligence — inspired by gaming systems that balance load, recovery, and progression. Gamers intuitively understand concepts like cooldowns, resource management, and healing phases. Applied to HR, this means designing environments where performance is not extracted, but sustainably generated. The future of HR lies in framing health not as a benefit, but as a strategic performance driver.
