As change management consultants, we are always looking for new ways to work with our clients to make change effective and sustainable. Change and learning journeys, simulations, and gamification play a central role in this.

With this in mind, our colleagues Gunnar Schultze, Michael Kempf, Michael Teubenbacher, Tanja Fischer, and Jens Steckler met with Michael Schranner and Lukas Karwan from Lumium GmbH for a workshop this week to explore the use of virtual reality in the context of change.

All those who know us are aware that we are concerned with measurable impact in our change work.

What is behind this?

Many of our customers are familiar with the problem: organizational silos destroy value. To put it positively, effective cross-functional collaboration is one of the central keys to successful organizations. There is less agreement on how the necessary mindset shift should take place.

At Lumium GmbH, we were able to experience firsthand the value of the targeted use of virtual reality as a building block in change management.

Here, playful immersion in the content and characteristics of effective collaboration creates a strong neural anchor. This subsequently serves as both an empirical and group dynamic reference point.

What added value do we see?

In addition to proven customer impact in company-wide transformations, it is becoming apparent that physical reactions also reinforce the increased willingness to change through this immersive format. This results in a powerful lever for providing change with the necessary initial momentum.

We look forward to working with our new partner Lumium to make our change and learning journeys even more impactful in the future! 🚀
