03. The Outcome
The Tokyo 2020 VR training is pioneering, ensuring key operations management competencies are taught effectively but in an engaging, yet measurable way. The learning experience is immersive: learners experience being present in a live operational site, with sounds, physical and visual stimuli. Participants have the opportunity to engage in an extremely realistic way with tools used during real operations, practice decision making under stress yet in a safe environment, test key management behaviours and verify Communication Command and Control (C3) protocols.
While users engage in the simulation, their performance is measured and digitally processed in real time providing valuable insights on a series of Key Performance Indicators (KPIs). The system is built to track user metrics and provide insights over a number of KPIs to be used for readiness reporting and assurance, coaching and continuous improvement purposes. Capturing performance metrics also enables a comparison of readiness levels between different users and teams.
There are a series of invaluable benefits of training in VR for organisations:
- Enhanced learning experiences*
- Qualitative ‘best practice’ training content
- Repeatable & scalable
- Captures insightful business intelligence
- Increased “speed to competence”
- Better identification of risks and issues
- Significantly reduced cost through steeper “ramp-up”
- Increased retention
Leveraging our experience in complex large-scale capability building and readiness programmes, together with our Partners, we have the necessary expertise and experience to develop learning or engagement solutions using VR/AR technology, and help the public and private sector in the necessary reskilling and upskilling of their workforce derived by digitalisation and sped up by pandemic.
