A parkrun journey - the influential participant experience with Tim Oberg
The Sport Experience Show
This chat with Tim Oberg, the man who brought a global success story, parkrun, to this part of the world is a great opportunity to understand the experience that parkrun provides, and how it goes about providing it.
info_outlineWelcome to the Sport Experience show, where we are speaking with some of the world’s leading experts in sport and live experience design, giving you and I some inspiration and relevant information to walk away and use in our work.
From leading SX advisors, authors, researchers, the pioneers and the practitioners who are leading the way in the new ways of working and sharing their vast experiences with us
This is for fan experiences, participant experiences, designing and providing experiences for any consumers of sport and active experiences. Whether that be the experiences they have before during and after events, across programs and seasons, or in one off sessions, and whether that be game or match days, tours, tournaments, training sessions or in their workouts we are all providing AN experience.
And the experiences that we provide that will decide whether these people want to sign up, the experience that they share, and whether they want show up again.
And I think we all know there are lots of things we all need to achieve, and lots of different ways of doing it, but ultimately I think we know that the experiences we provide will decide if we are successful or not in our work, or not!
So welcome to the show, I do hope this helps you create more valuable, meaningful and manageable experiences, and that you can have even more influence with the experiences you provide.
And I think there is one thing to never forget… it is that your people will never forget how you make them feel!
