| description | In the face of the ever increasing crisis due to global warming and the ensuing risk and uncertainty, there is an urgent need for organizations to develop resilience and adaptability. In this paper, I propose ways that immersive experiences can provide new pathways for change. Through examination of 16 case examples of resilient organizations utilizing immersive experiences, I present insights and suggestions for how other organizations can use some of the same methods to: 1) use collective intelligence and knowledge share 2) support a culture of creative thinking 3) design future risk response strategies through visioning and foresight strategy 4) build business strategies that include well-being of their employees, stakeholders and the planet. Close examination of these case examples demonstrates that these four areas are a large part of their success. Context for the insights and suggestions in this research, is provided through a brief exploration of challenges to change, components of resilience and the benefits of collective intelligence, creativity, vision, and holistic decision making. These organizations are proving their success and adaptability, using a broad range of immersive experience including: Extended reality (XR, virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR), mixed reality (MR), artificial intelligence (AI), games, 360 cameras and location based experiences (LBE) in interesting and unique ways. |
