Augmented Reality turns the phone into a magic lens that can, figuratively speaking, arm your workforce with superpowers.

• Aim a phone at your product and get real-time holographic guidance on how to install or troubleshoot it (or use “x-ray vision” to view what’s inside it).
• Conduct a scavenger hunt to find digital learning objects around your office.
• Play a real-time business strategy sim, projected in 3D on the lunch table, with colleagues.
• Play microlearning games in the same environment where the skills will be applied.

It’s no exaggeration to say we’ll never use our phones the same way again.  And the rule book for mobile learning just went out the window. AR is coming – and fast!

This powerful emerging technology will be on hundreds of millions of phones in the next few months and on a couple of billion phones by next year.

More importantly, it may well be on your CEO’s phone the next time you meet. And you know what that means. You’ll have to explain how your group is going to be leveraging AR to improve enterprise learning and productivity.

This session focuses on the implications of Augmented Reality for learning and performance management.

This webcast will also break down Apple ARKit and Android ARCore for mobile and discuss the state of AR eyewear from a learning and enterprise perspective.

Anders will also address:

• How to identify and design low-cost, high-reward AR pilots
• Design principles when the world is your canvas
• How to go beyond information overlay and develop storytelling and game playing AR experiences to practice skills and reinforce concepts
• How to collect user data and analyze it for actionable insights
• How to make the case for AR to your CEO
• The AR development process

Come equipped with your questions so we can begin brainstorming ways you can pilot AR projects to drive ever-greater business results.

Presenter: Anders Gronstedt, Ph.D. (LinkedIn profile) President Gronstedt Group, improves performance with innovative learning approaches, including next-generation digital simulations, gaming, transmedia storytelling,  immersive 3D virtual worlds, and virtual and augmented reality.

Most projects involve contracts with external providers or suppliers of good and services. Those taking on the role of project managers therefore need to know and understand the basics of contract law in order to be effective and avoid risks being ‘gotchas’!

Most projects involve buying something from an external provider. This can range from ‘off the shelf’ widgets to complex contracts for multi-million packages.

Regardless, if you don’t know the basics of contract law, both in the procurement and ‘in-contract’ management phase, you can inadvertently put your organisation at significant commercial risk.

On the other hand, if both parties clearly articulate and understand their legal and contractual obligations, then the project is far more likely to be a success.

What does this mean?

Having a basic knowledge of contract law is an essential pre-requisite for an effective project manager!

This is a three-part series of one hour webinars, each tackling a distinct issue.

Presenter: Sarah Schütte (LinkedIn profile) is a UK-qualified solicitor-advocate for Schutte Consulting Limited.
