Building Virtual Stores and the Immersive Shopping Experience
A practical programme in immersive virtual retail for professionals who are accountable for results, not just awareness.
Course Overview
Boards are asking for measurable returns from immersive virtual retail, not demonstrations. Most organisations now hold more data about the practice within digital and data-driven work than they can actually act on. Moving this strand of digital and data-driven work from written policy into daily practice is not achieved by a single decision. The outcome is a practitioner who can hold a position on immersive virtual retail and revise it on evidence. The programme suits teams tackling the digital and data-driven work discipline together as readily as individuals attending alone. It establishes a shared vocabulary for this aspect of digital and data-driven work so that teams can disagree productively about it. Field experience suggests that the barrier to better immersive virtual retail is rarely technical. Work is grounded in real cases drawn from this part of digital and data-driven work, which each participant adapts to conditions in their own organisation. Participants leave with a plan for the wider digital and data-driven work agenda sized to what their organisation can realistically absorb.
