Step into the future of learning with our special session on XR (Extended Reality) and spatial computing in 2024.

This new year is poised to be a breakout year with a new wave of reality-bending headsets and simulations that unleash a wave of experiential and visceral learning.

Dr. Anders Gronstedt, Ph.D. (LinkedIn profile), President of the Gronstedt Group will showcase how:

• The U.S. Navy is piloting VR training at the point of need, even while aboard ships
• Leading pharmaceutical companies like Pfizer and Bristol Myers Squibb onboard lab techs at scale in real-time rendered cleanrooms
• Daikin demonstrates its HVAC products in action on a virtual rooftop
• Unions recruit the next generation painters in a virtual construction site
• The new headsets from Meta and Apple seamlessly blur the lines between the digital and physical worlds

Watch the hyper-realistic 3D rehearsal studios that provide intense, deliberate practice at the edge of users’ comfort zones and feedback loops to hone skills. Students and instructors can collaborate on tasks, working shoulder-to-shoulder, just like in real life, learning with and from each other in the flow of work.

The real-life cases and demos will inspire insights as you consider integrating metaverse learning to reduce training costs, improve job performance, and boost engagement in your organization.

Anders explores how students can move seamlessly from the workplace to a pixelated practice space where they can build muscle memory and mastery, in the presence of peers, mentors and experts.

Learn how industry leaders pilot ambitious VR solutions to strategic challenges and have a serious budget commitment to scale VR across the enterprise from the outset.

Most talent development programs drive improvement in business measures–just not necessarily all the improvement.

Taking full credit for the improvement in performance measures is a bit unfair–and, quite frankly, will diminish the credibility of the results you report. That is why it is important to give credit where credit is due by taking a step to isolate the effects of your programs and projects on improvement in measures that matter.

Isolating the effects of the programs is not about isolating programs from other activities in the organization—far from it. In fact, by isolating the effects of your program, you’re positioning yourself as a better business partner. Doing so enables you to explain how you know the investments in programs are driving results and help your clients allocate resources to the different programs, projects, and activities in which they invest.

During this session, you will learn three techniques to isolate the effects of talent development programs. Case studies will demonstrate each technique. Participants will calculate the improvement in business measures due to the programs described in the case studies. Remember to bring a calculator.

Participants should be able to:

1. Describe the importance of isolating the effects of programs
2. Apply at least three techniques to isolate the effects of programs
3. Determine when to use each of the techniques covered in this session
