Important results from the project
Both the purpose and the goal are fulfilled: The aim was to further develop a prototype for an MVP of a Virtual Assessment Center (V-AC) based on Virtual Reality that generates and analyzes data. V-AC is used for qualified competence assessment/development in organizations. The goal was for the MVP to become so concrete that it enables the organization to determine whether it is relevant and interesting to the business. Organizations have made contact and found the solution relevant. They have also reconnected that it has the potential to expand into a wide range of additional areas.
Expected long term effects
The result has received a positive response that is expected to have the effect that global organizations want to implement and use full-scale solutions of it. The use in turn generates data, which is a business in itself. The use of the result is expected to have an effect on customers´ organizations through strengthened employer brand, digitization in a pleasurable way, better decision-making, increased precision in competence assessment, in-depth learning, improved social climate - which contributes to engagement and increases employee health - and reduces climate footprint.
Approach and implementation
The product covers a wide range of areas of expertise such as: programming and UX design (specifically VR), storytelling, science, data analysis, HR and recruitment, pedagogy, business development, business law and IPR. We have therefore worked in cross-functional teams to connect competences and established agreements with partners. V-AC has been developed agile to ensure that customer-needs are taken into account. Tests have been carried out both internally and at customers. The customers involved are large known organizations both government agencies and the private sector.
