Research has shown that getting people involved through interactive presentations helps boost learning and retention. One of our favorite customers, Jane Lipps, the Chief Fun Officer at Wildly Different, uses OptionPower technology to improve the impact of team building programs. By adding a bit of fun to a meetings she is able boost attentiveness and can dramatically influence the audience's acceptance of the meeting's presentation materials and goals.
"When some employees walk into a meeting and say it's time for team building, we see a lot of looks from the audience that say, 'Oh no, what are they going to make us do?'" said our customer. "But once they start having fun with the quiz-show experience, things really start to happen. Leaders emerge, people start communicating and team building occurs."
Taking "cool" to the next level.
Our customer also says that OTI's game show technology and associated keypad response system adds a "cool" factor to the event that helps to alleviate much of the reluctance to participate. "The instant feedback that the participants get through this technology helps them see how they're doing and makes them want to compete harder," she says.
Jane is convinced that by playing together, participants gain and retain more information they can use to work together better when they go home. "People learn a lot about their coworkers and discover their strengths so they know who to go to for certain things and situations."
From safety training to leadership development workshops, research consistently shows that adult learning experiences consistently have greater impact when combined with an interactive response system. An OptionPower response system will boost attentiveness and retention while making the learning experience more enjoyable.
