A new generation of real-time, spatial, 3D, immersive, and embodied computing can now be deployed on high-quality VR headsets that cost less than an airline flight.

If it hadn’t already, the workplace is moving to the workspace. The metaverse is upon us and it has a profound impact on the learning industry.

Join the Training Magazine Network for a session about how forward-thinking companies are creating shared VR learning spaces where students and instructors are interacting with each other as lifelike human avatars.

Navigating hyper-realistic performance simulators via VR headsets, phones, iPads, and PCs they learn with and from each other in hands-on simulations.

Go inside the new generation VR simulations used by pharma leaders like Pfizer, Novartis, and Bristol Myers Squibb to practice crucial life-saving skills in safe, virtual reality pharma labs. Instructors can demonstrate how to transfer liquid and hand the pipette to a student standing to their right, who can grab it and rehearse the same task, just like in real life.

Learn how HVAC giant Daikin offers the ultimate customer experience of “X-ray vision.” Customers don the Quest headset and peer inside a giant chiller to watch how water and refrigerant work together to keep building temperatures comfortable. Alarm.com installers use their hands in VR to route cables and connect wires. The Finishing Trades Institute recruits painters in VR; grab a virtual tape bazooka with both hands, and drag it across a drywall seam.

While we’re still years away from the metaverse vision of interoperable networks with thousands of people through VR and AR headsets, today’s multi-user VR technology represents a significant step in that direction and a seismic shift in training.

Presenter: Anders Gronstedt, Ph.D. (LinkedIn profile) President Gronstedt Group, improves performance with innovative learning approaches, including next-generation digital simulations, gaming, transmedia storytelling,  immersive 3D virtual worlds, and virtual and augmented reality.

As your company develops a market expansion strategy, what’s the best way to evaluate different global opportunities and determine which opportunities make the most sense to pursue?

It can be tempting to focus on the largest markets, but this approach fails to consider the nuances and risks of particular markets and doesn’t consider important factors that are most likely to contribute to success, or failure.

Nataly Kelly (LinkedIn profile) HubSpot VP of Localization will describe the MARACA framework her company developed to target its global expansion strategy.

MARACA consists of:

• MA = market availability, which is the size of the opportunity in a market
• RA = real-time analytics on how the company is performing in a market
• CA = customer addressability, which is the fit of a company’s offerings in a market

Nataly will describe each metric in the MARACA framework and will discuss how to use this framework to objectively score and assess each market opportunity on a micro level.

She will share practical examples of how HubSpot and other organizations are using this model to target their expansion decisions, guide longer-term investments, and drive future growth.

For organizations that are evaluating global expansion opportunities and are debating which markets to prioritize, join Nataly Kelly and HBR for insights on a proven, data-driven framework to effectively target your global expansion.
