Virtual Experiential Team and Leadership Development Platform

这个创新项目的重点是必要性，以支持远程领导和团队工作期间和后Covid 19\。该项目将打破体验式培训部门与第一个虚拟平台，以举办体验式领导和团队建设活动，允许组织为其团队配备有效的自我-此外，在线体验式培训课程将使更多人能够参加领导力和团队发展课程。团队和组织。该项目有一系列明确的目标;开发一个易于使用的在线平台，包含体验式培训课程，为远程领导者和团队提供便利或自主学习。在线培训课程的基础是我们的面对面体验式学习课程，以及它们为领导者和团队实现的学习提供的价值。重要的是，虚拟体验创造了类似水平的体验，刺激真实的行为、有意义的对话和学习点，支持提高领导力、绩效和团队复原力。新冠肺炎提高了远程工作的水平，凸显了团队必须克服的许多挑战。比如，没有面对面的交流，我们如何培养团队精神？我们如何有效地招募新的团队成员？我们如何有效地沟通，就共同的语言和方法达成一致？我们的体验式项目将致力于支持团队制定行动计划，以应对这些挑战，并通过有效的远程工作提高组织的生产力。该项目旨在以创新的方法支持新冠肺炎后的新工作方式，为领导者提供新的知识，帮助远程团队利用他们的优势，克服远程团队工作的挑战。该计划的一个重要目的是，它将支持为那些在Covid 19后也参与面对面研讨会的团队创建混合学习方法。通过使用技术，学习承诺和行动将被捕捉以供反思和使用，这是团队发展过程中的一个重要部分，在纯粹的面对面培训中往往被忽视。最后，这个独特的平台和培训计划将提高培训效率，提高组织的多样性和包容性，吸引更广泛的英国人才基础，并为创业者提供更多机会附加信息由于在设计阶段学习了该平台，我们现在将在自己的定制平台上构建，而不是一个基于订阅的平台。它还将开发的能力，使我们能够集成和主机的团队工作游戏，已开发的第三方供应商。这将为我们的客户提供更广泛的选择，支持他们的发展需求，并提供使用学习和发展平台的长期干预计划，比计划早得多。开发我们自己的平台和集成第三方提供商的组合也使我们能够专注于开发和学习内容以及可用性。此外，我们现在正在开发使用Zoom和分组讨论室作为平台功能的一部分的视频会议。这种视觉辅助工具将为参与者和主持人增加相当大的价值，让每个人都能看到彼此的肢体语言，这在讨论团队动态和沟通时非常重要。使用分组讨论室的能力将使团队能够同时在同一活动的子组中独立工作，以及主持讨论组，为丰富的对话提供空间，特别是在审查会议中。通过一段时间的持续测试，我们将收到来自平台用户（最终用户，管理员和促进者）的反馈，我们将使用他们的评论来帮助优先考虑功能积压，并对那些具有最积极影响的功能给予更大的权重。如果我们发现当前的功能集达到了目标，我们将引入一些我们已经设计的功能，并且现在包含在产品backlog中。

This innovative project focuses on the necessity, to support remote leadership and team working during and post Covid 19\.The project will disrupt the experiential training sector with the first virtual platform to host experiential leadership and team building activities, allowing organisations to equip their teams with an effective self-directed learning or facilitated programme.Additionally the online experiential training programmes will enable leadership and team development programmes to become accessible to many more teams and organisations.The project has a number of clear objectives; to develop an easy to use, online platform containing experiential training programmes, enabling facilitated or self-directed learning for remote leaders and teams.The online training program has its foundations in our face to face experiential learning programmes and the value they provide to the learning achieved by leaders and teams. It is vital that the virtual experience creates a similar level of experience stimulating real behaviours, meaningful conversations and learning points, supporting improved leadership, performance and team resilience.Covid 19 has increased the level of remote working and is highlighting the many challenges teams are having to overcome. Such as, how do we cultivate team spirit without face to face interaction? How do we onboard new team members effectively? How do we communicate effectively, agree on a common language and approach?Our experiential programmes will work to support teams in developing action plans to combat these challenges and increase productivity for their organisation through effective remote working.This project moves to support the new way of working, post Covid 19 with an innovative approach, equipping leaders with new knowledge and helping remote teams leverage their strengths and overcome the challenges of remote team working.An additional benefit of this online programme is that it will support the creation of a blended learning approach for teams who are also engaging in face to face workshops post Covid 19\. Through the use of technology, learning commitments and actions will be captured for reflection and use, an important part of the team development process often overlooked in purely face to face training.Finally, this unique platform and training programme will promote efficiencies in training, improve diversity and inclusion in organisations, engage a broader UK talent base and improve opportunities for returnersAdditional Information As a result of learning in the design phase the platform we will now be build on our own bespoke platform rather than a subscription based platform. It will also be developed with the capability to enable us to integrate and host team working games that have been developed by third party providers. This will provide our clients with a wider range of choice supporting their developmental needs and provide planning of longer term interventions using the learning and development platform much earlier than planned. The combination of developing our own platform and integrating third party providers also allows us to focus on the development and learning content as well as usability.In addition we are now developing video conferencing using Zoom and breakout rooms as part of the platform functionality. This visual aid will add considerable value for the participants and the facilitators, allowing everyone to see each other’s body language which is so important when discussing team dynamics and communication. The ability to use breakout rooms-will enable teams to work independently in sub groups on the same activity simultaneously, as well as host discussion groups, providing space for rich conversations especially in review sessions. Through a period of sustained testing we will receive feedback from users of the platform (end users, admin and facilitators) we will use their comments to help prioritise the feature backlog, giving greater weight to those features that have the most positive impact. If we find that the current feature set is hitting the mark, we will introduce some of the features that we have already designed, and are now included in the product backlog.
