Hitachi on Mars
We invite you to step into a play. As leaders shaping the future of Hitachi Energy Service, you are invited into a space beyond roles, titles and ready-made answers. A space where we come together to explore one shared question:
How do we unlock growth and enable the bold vision for Hitachi Energy Service in a human-centered and life-centered way?
On Mars, we use systemic play to experience the system itself. By stepping into different perspectives, we uncover hidden patterns, challenge assumptions and discover new possibilities that are difficult to see from within.
To take part, please register and send us one question. Your question becomes part of the play.

Your Questions
How do we ensure that rapid growth does not compromise the quality of hiring, employee development and the culture that makes Hitachi Energy Service successful?
How confident are we that our actions, decisions, and people practices consistently reflect our ambition to create a truly human-centered and life-centered workplace and what additional actions would help us translate the human-centered and life-centered way into measurable employee experiences?
If we want Service to be the employer of choice and the partner of choice by 2030, what must we start doing different-ly today? As well if HR could move only one Service KPI significantly next year, which KPI should we prioritize to create the greatest business value?
How do we help Hitachi Energy become synonymous with 'world class service provider'? What do we need to start doing now, today, to make this happen?
What if growth were measured not only by revenue, but by the health and resilience of the systems we serve? // Who or what has a stake in the future we are creating, but has no seat in this room? // Where could competitors become collaborators? // What future is trying to emerge through Service that our current assumptions are preventing us from seeing?
What's the real scope of Capability & Workforce planning? what would be the best achievement with this process?
What mindset shifts do we need to make, as leaders and employees, to ensure that our growth ambitions create more energy, development, and purpose for our people, rather than adding complexity, workload, and burnout?
Are managers evaluated on how they develop people, not only results? Are processes designed for employee experience, not just efficiency? Do employees feel safe to speak up? Do people feel they belong and can be themselves at work?
what we can as team to do more to create employee experience that stands out on the market?
Process
SEND YOUR QUESTION
We don’t fly without a question. Every expedition participant must submit their question. The question can be deeply personal or seemingly nonsensical. The rule is simple: Better question = better game = better perspective.
WE TURN QUESTIONS INTO A GAME
Together, we turn selected questions into a game. Why? So we don’t just talk and keep repeating the same worn-out truths. The safe chaos of collective play opens access to perspectives and ideas you won’t find on conference slides.
EXCHANGE OF PERSPECTIVES
After each game, we discuss and share what we actually saw. On the stage. This is where individual perspectives expand collectively. This is where you decide what you’ll take back to Earth and apply in your life or business.
Rules of Mars
FREEDOM
This experience gives you absolute freedom of expression. It is essentially a hole in reality. You can ask anything, create anything, share and express yourself exactly as you feel. No one will judge you here. Enjoy it fully.
Freedom and responsibility go hand in hand. At Stage on Mars you have space to express yourself, to be seen, to create. At the same time, your boundaries are yours alone and they matter. You do not have to accept any idea, role, or direction that does not resonate with you. You can say no. You can step back. You can change your mind at any time. We are in this together.
RESPONSIBILITY
During the experience, alcohol and other psychoactive substances are not permitted. If you want to be high, immersion in the game will be more than enough.
ALCOHOL
DRESS CODE
Dress comfortably. Wear whatever you feel good playing in. If you arrive in a pink dinosaur costume yes it has happened we will be delighted.
PLAY TO PLAY
This is not a performance. There is no audience. You are doing this only for yourself. How you choose to express yourself is entirely up to you. You can stay silent. You can sing opera, dance, recite, mumble, or simply speak like a human being. Play for the sake of the game itself.
OWN TRUTH
A lot happens on Mars. Emotions. Thoughts. Observations. New angles of view. What does not happen on Mars is universal truth. We do not come here to agree. We come here to expand our horizons. And when we leave, each of us takes away something different. Our own truth.
CONFIDENTIALITY
What happens on Mars stays on Mars. We are here to play, explore, and push boundaries together. And that means trust is essential. Everything we create, share, and experience here stays within this space. If there is anything you are unsure about or want to keep private, let us know. This is a space of respect, safety, and openness.
QUESTIONS
Not every question will turn into a game. There will not be time for all of them. But everyone will have the opportunity to share their question and invite others to step into it.
PUNCTUALITY
It is important to arrive on time. The introduction and the pre-flight briefing are an essential part of the entire experience.
