Digital Twin for Corporate Learning

The growth of the company directly depends on the development of its employees. Aimed at professional development, corporate training uses various tools to maximally involve the worker in the process.

Digital twin technology has successfully proven itself in the market of tools for employee training. Along with VR/XR solutions, 3d virtual models significantly increase the Wow-effect of employee journey and training. What other results does this technology offer? Let’s figure it out!

Digital Twin Solutions to Power Up Corporate Education Strategy 🆙

Corporate learning is essential for attracting and keeping top talent but, unfortunately, it poses several issues that render it useless. They include poor educational materials, a meager spending plan, and a personnel shortage. In addition, businesses face difficulties with:

  • Monitoring the learning process;
  • Offering simple access to learning materials;
  • Quickly and efficiently training new hires;
  • Strengthening the leadership bench;
  • Capturing employees’ attention;
  • Ensuring workplace compliance.

Using digital twins is an effective way to close existing corporate learning gaps. Plus, it’s smarter and more cost-effective to practice on a digital twin than expensive equipment. There are different types of digital twins, and each fulfills its purpose.

But there is one type that best fits the core business goals — an ecosystem twin of your organization. It’s a virtual representation of a company, including all the physical facilities. Such twins can be used to perform employee training, create data dashboards, execute simulations, and more.

Ecosystem Twins for Enhancing Corporate Training 🌐

Ecosystem twins can sift through the deluge of data to offer valuable business insights using digital technology. In essence, businesses can now better collaborate and make educated decisions in the virtual environment. They do so by using information streamed from their counterparts in the actual, non-virtual world.

By ecosystem twin, we mean that every resource your company owns, every operation, and even every employee will have their virtual replica. They are connected in the same way as in the real world. This allows your workers (and potential trainees) to perform any type of required work digitally before trying out how it works in a physical environment. Employees will be able to learn by interacting with 3D digital representations of a company and equipment, thanks to immersive experiences provided by digital twins.

Let’s go more into the solutions that companies using digital twins for corporate education get:

  • Personalized Employee Learning

By offering employees training specifically tailored to their level of skills and development goals, an enterprise digital twin can enhance their performance. Companies, in turn, obtain a comprehensive understanding of individual behaviors by collecting and processing employee data. A system may recommend to the trainee writing and public speaking courses if the virtual twin has communication or computer skills issues. Alternatively, it can provide brief instructions on productivity platforms.

  • Simulation Training Sessions

Digital twins can be efficient in allowing employees to practice on a physical object only using its virtual version. Plus, learning with a virtual twin before working on a high-risk location or machinery lessens safety hazards. Employees trained on a simulation digital twin are more capable of handling top-level tasks in real life if the company exposes them to various simulated scenarios. They can learn how to operate machinery and handle emergencies. It can also bridge the knowledge gap between newbies and experienced personnel.

  • Safety Training

Accidents caused by ignorance of safety rules are a common problem in corporate learning. However, they might be decreased with effective safety pre-training using digital twin technology and simulated emergency scenarios. They include fire, truck accidents, explosions, etc. If an operator has not received proper emergency response training, it might be lethal for an injured coworker. Thus, virtual learning delivers a simple, stress-free, and secure way for safe instruction.

  • Highly Engaging Tasks

Immersive technologies (i.e., AR, VR, XR) are interactive tools that encourage active participation from employees. Harnessing their competitiveness with gamification tactics is one of the finest ways to keep workers engaged in their job. Moreover, employees get instantaneous virtual prizes, strengthened relationships with coworkers, and unexpected competition in seemingly routine jobs. This enhances their experiences, thus reducing churn and enhancing overall productivity.

  • System Behavior Examination

A digital twin can capture and explain the behavior and processes of its physical twin. Your workforce may better study system behavior under various scenarios, comprehend failure issues, and gain knowledge about system sensibility by running simulations. This is possible by analyzing the data sent from a physical system to the virtual space. In addition, a virtual twin can help workers understand how adjustments to the system’s characteristics and outside disturbances affect how well it functions for the business.

It’s interesting to note that digital twins also help HR managers step up their game and make the onboarding procedure much more efficient through:

  • Advanced Candidate Assessment

Through simulation and assessment of the abilities required for a certain position, immersive technology can make it simpler to screen prospective applicants. HR departments may find applicants with the proper skill set using digital twin simulations.

  • Efficient Onboarding Process

A digital onboarding process is an excellent approach to introducing new hires to the team. HR managers can interview new candidates by using a 3D tour around the company. This helps employees establish professional connections and earn the trust of their peers. Additionally, digital onboarding helps candidates get a head start by getting familiar with the location and its safety guidelines.

  • Better Workload Management

Adapting training resources to a person’s capacity to process and remember information is what the cognitive load measurement is about. The data is continually sent into a digital HR management system. It identifies what type of training and workload is required for a particular person and tailors staff training instantly. Organizations may also manage employees’ workloads by monitoring their calendars and being proactive.

Let’s Sum Up📍

From a virtual copy of a person to a copy of an entire enterprise — the possibilities of digital twins reach wide limits. Thanks to this, employee training becomes not a formal duty, but an exciting and efficient process. Without the need to install expensive equipment, digital representation of the object closes corporate learning cracks.
