🚀 Just wrapped up an exciting VR demo with the fantastic team at Optimist Performance, diving deep into the hands-on potential of VR in training and development. >> https://bit.ly/4f6cdNZ Virtual reality is reshaping how we learn and develop skills – and it's more than just theory. With immersive, interactive environments, we can bring real-world scenarios into training rooms, from safety drills to complex team-based scenarios, making skill development both practical and impactful. Seeing VR in action reaffirms the unique benefits it brings: 🎯 Engagement – Users are truly in the moment, allowing for more effective learning retention. 🚀 Scalability – From solo skills to team drills, VR adapts to diverse training needs. 🛠️ Safety – Train for high-stakes situations with no risk, building confidence and competence. Thank you, Optimist Performance, for a dynamic session that shows how VR training is transforming the learning landscape! #VirtualReality #TrainingAndDevelopment #ImmersiveLearning #FutureOfWork #SkillsDevelopment

https://lnkd.in/e_VBaHuU When faced with difficult decisions in your operations, remember... not taking action is a choice. ...The U.S. Department of Justice filed a civil lawsuit in September, seeking over $100 million in damages from the companies for their failure to address known risks with the vessel’s power systems, which contributed to the disaster. According to the lawsuit, the companies neglected to resolve known vibration issues that could lead to power outages and configured the ship’s systems in a way that prevented rapid restoration of propulsion and steering during the incident. “This was an entirely avoidable catastrophe,” said Principal Deputy Assistant Attorney General Brian M. Boynton.

The world of work is changing and it’s causing systemic productivity issues for most organizations. The 'skills gap' isn’t just an HR issue anymore—it’s become a critical business risk. With the rise of generative AI and rapid digital transformation, the skills required to perform most roles are evolving faster than organizations can keep pace with. At WithYouWithMe, our platform solves the skills challenge end-to-end. Our tech creates dynamic skills frameworks that outline the exact skills an organization needs – at both an enterprise and role level – to meet their goals. We map their existing workforce to show what capabilities are already in place, and then—using this powerful data—we guide them on how to close the gaps through either targeted upskilling or hiring. And where it gets really exciting? We don’t just assess current skills. We identify potential to pick up new skills. Our platform predicts the skills individuals will not only excel at, but enjoy -- ensuring a future-proof, adaptable workforce that thrives in a constantly evolving world. Next week I'll be in San Francisco to showcase our tech platform at #SFTechWeek. Let me know if you'll be there!
