Current trends in training
• Mobile learning – reduction in classroom based instruction, online
learning and online exams
• Measuring impact or effectiveness of training – a greater return
on investment
• Tailoring to suit the individual – blended learning, self paced,
choice of modules
• Use of social media to report on or assist with training – youtube,
online reviews
• Global based approaches – use of global based standards
• Certifications that are transferable between and recognised by
other countries
• Quicker refresh time in knowledge – is the day of the text
nearing?

What will virtual reality mean for
corporate sustainability?
Blog by Tobias Web, founder of an innovation forum
• Everyone will be able to experience the supply chain – actual real time visits to suppliers to solve problems
• Training will become much more “real” for employees, contractors and suppliers - understand choices
being made inside, say, a virtual boardroom, or deep in the supply chain, or just in everyday situations
• Consumers will be able to understand the complexity from improved scenario examples • Real-time virtual reality of what a project might look like if the changes to scope are made
• Measurement of progress could be ever-more real-time - it maybe harder to avoid or fudge numbers with
such increased visibility
• Investor communication will be improved, with real-time virtual reality they will be able to engage executives as if in the same room, rather than on conference calls, in large meetings or at AGMs.

How are you addressing the needs of future
project controllers?
• What “experience” are you
able to provide?
• Are you providing training
that is tailored to their
needs?
• Training that is specialised
and globally recognised?
• Are you or your staff using a
standardised approach in
the control of your projects?
