What Are HPO Battle Cards?
A HPO Battle Card is a visual aid to help you effectively use data and analytics to tackle a common human performance problem.
Each card represents a particular use case for a given role, such as an athlete, service member, performance practitioner, or tactical leader, and steps through the data required, insights uncovered, actions to take, and outcomes to expect.
The cards can be used by human performance leaders to better support strategic planning, education and training, communication of program impacts, and integration of new tech.
And if you don’t see the card you need, we’ve included a template for you to build your own cards.
