The Future of Work: New 3-D Studio Helps IBM Employees Gain Hard-to-Learn Skills in a Virtual World
In IBM's rehearsal studio, employees represented by avatars work with teammates to solve the real-world job problem of closing a big deal by delivering a presentation to a group of executives. IBM internal research shows that compared to traditional classroom environments, on-the-job virtual learning can deliver improved efficiency and speed of learning by 10 times while decreasing the cost by a factor of 10.
