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?

The Project Controller in 2030 ?

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?


Future proofing our Project Controllers is our

challenge ..
