IMMERSIVE
EXPERIENCES
We combine storytelling and technology to orchestrate the human
experience across digital and physical platforms.
New IoT & wearable technology such as facial recognition, image
recognition, gesture recognition, speech recognition, natural language
processing and emotion recognition provide a wealth of inputs with which
to adapt and measure the training environment

DATA CENTRE CRISIS
# Leadership Development
This is a 3-week simulation for distance learners in which they role-play as incident
manager at a fictional publishing company. In week one they see a fire in the
Manchester data center followed in week two by a cyber attack.

TEST TO PROVE
IT DOESN’T
FAILThe purpose of testing isn’t to prove that something
works, it’s to prove that it doesn’t fail.
That means we need to design tests with a high
likelihood of creating failure.

PARALLELISM
AND ASYMMETRY
Parallelism refers to how much overlap there is between roles
and asymmetry refers to how different the role responsibilities
are. Information asymmetry refers to the difference in
information flow to each role.

Roles and responsibilities tend not to overlap.
Hence requires strong communication and high degree of
coordination.

TEAMXP - IMMERSIVE EXERCISES IN MINUTES
TeamXp is a service that runs on Conducttr and targets the specific verticals
of leadership development & crisis management.
IMMERSIVE & EFFECTIVE
Interactivity and realism means trainees learn through fast-
tracked experience and remember the lessons of decisions
made.
PRODUCTIVITY SAVINGS
Re-use and re-purposing of libraries plus immediate after-
action review from real-time data means many days saved
in preparation and reporting.

You can’t deny the laws of thermodynamics -> everything is moving towards chaos.
There are two key processes at work in a team exercise – communication and coordination. Hence it’s these we need to test

Observe + Orient = situational awareness. Orient takes into account culture, experience etc. and hence is individual to us. Therefore the sense-making could be different for everyone. Which makes a good case for having diversity in teams – age, gender, ethnicity etc.
When measuring outcomes, one should also look at the reason for the outcomes – the environment, the processes, the people
