What if VR revolutionised management training?

Traditional management training courses, while effective, sometimes struggle to fully engage participants. Some employees forget what they've learned in training after just one month. Virtual reality (VR) provides an innovative solution by making learning more interactive and immersive.  

Thanks to VR training, team members come face to face with a virtual employee expressing a difficult situation. Rather than limiting themselves to a theoretical course, each person was able to try out different reactions and see their effects in real time. The result? Much better retention and application of skills. 

Many management training programmes run into difficulties:  

• Learning that is too theoretical: Few real-life situations.  

• Lack of commitment from participants: Long, non-interactive sessions are difficult to captivate.  

• Difficulties with practical application: Understanding a concept does not mean knowing how to apply it in a professional context. 

1. Immersive learning and realistic scenarios 

Thanks to VR, managers can confront real-life scenarios: conflict management, decision-making in crisis situations, leading difficult meetings. This immersion ensures that skills are permanently embedded.  

2. Risk-free experimentation 

Making mistakes in traditional training can be stressful. With VR, learners can try out different approaches without any real consequences, encouraging learning through experience.  

3. Instant and customisable feedback 

VR training provides immediate feedback on the decisions made by managers, enabling them to adjust their posture and communication in real time.  

4. Increased engagement through interactivity 

Studies show that active learning increases information retention by 75% compared with passive training. With VR, participants are involved in their training, which improves their commitment.  

5. Adaptability and accessibility 

VR training courses can be followed remotely, making management coaching accessible to everyone, without geographical constraints. They can also be customised to suit the level and needs of participants. 

More and more companies are adopting virtual reality to train their executives and managers. This format is part of a wider trend towards innovation in professional training. Eventually, it could become the standard for developing managerial skills.
