Amazing results demand for truly effective training.

Sales teams, leaders and the rest of your employees need high confidence and self-awareness to overcome their daily challenges.

 

Unfortunately, most of the business situation are dealt with low performing, automatic behaviors.

What do you do today to improve those behaviors?

 

 

 

Know-how’ is NOT the right answer.

Most learning solutions available on the market today simply don’t deliver in the long run.

You probably already tried them all.

You relied on increasing people’s knowledge.

Results, in the long run, did not come.

 

 

Knowledge is important, of course. But it doesn’t significantly improve performance. Especially on soft skills.

 

Too often when developing soft skills we observe a misalignment between what L&D can offer and the real need of trainees.

 

 

Experience matters.

However, real-life experience is expensive and takes time, a lot of time and a lot of money.

How can you improve your salespeople and leaders experience on those situations that require their greatest skills, without waiting years for them to achieve them?

 

 

 

 

Role Play? Yes, but…

‘Good old’ role plays are ok, but real experience is built with consistent repetition.

 

Role Play is a one-shot exercise. You don’t build real experience playing ‘just a few times’.

Instead you need to practice consistently, feel safe and measure effort and progress.

 

 

 

 

Digital Role Playing: your most powerful alternative.

Look at this comparison table to understand how A.I. driven Digital Role Play changes how you deliver practice-based training.

Well, that’s SkillGym.

 

Discover the five most important reasons to choose SkillGym as your next digital role play platform.

 

  1. Consistency and Scalability of Practical Training
    Behavioral changes require consistent practice.
    SkillGym is the perfect way to scale-up experience-based training, thanks to our adaptive schedule features. Trainees are engaged from the beginning to the end of their training program, and they stay fit long after the learning experience is over.
  2. Authentic Characters
    For a full immersion in the story, you need authentic characters. Our scenario are crafted by our professional storytellers, psychologists and people development specialists and are played by professional actors. The result is interactive video delivered through our unique AI algorithms, with all the human emotion you would expect from real people.
  3. Metric-driven Development
    SkillGym provides a set of homogenous and unbiased behavioral metrics dedicated to tracking performance development by experience-based learning. It allows L&D departments to obtain a complete picture of their trainees in order to set objectives, design specific actions where required and easily manage the learning activity along the way.
  4. Conversation Review and Competency Mapping
    Self-reflection is a key element in personal development. SkillGym allows the learner to re-watch the session, providing additional hints and recommendations that boost the pedagogical feedback, accelerate improvements and reconnect Competency Models to daily actionable behaviors.
  5. Feeling of “Safety”
    SkillGym makes trainees feel “safer” than when they partake in a traditional role play. The feeling of “being judged during confrontation” – which can embarrass people – is removed in favor of a more natural form of expression in the Role Play session.
