Having won 1st prize at the TEC awards ceremony in Paris for their design and development of 3D Immersive environments with Shell, Unfrozenmind won an additional 2nd prize for their work in Virtual Leadership Development.

TEC Paris organises an annual awards ceremony that recognises innovative corporate projects using 3D environments and for serious gaming. Other winners this year include L’Oreal, Michelin, BNP Paribas and Shell. The award for their work in Virtual Leadership Development awarded to Unfrozenmind by Philip Rosedale (real) and handed to the team via his avatar (virtual).

Virtual Leadership Development using Massive Multiplayer Online Role Playing Games (MMORPGs) is a new area that is rapidly gaining the mindshare of corporate Human Resource heads looking to cutting edge techniques and technologies to develop their executive talent. “Its about learning the skills of Web 2.0 in highly competitive virtual scenarios , where collaboration and leadership can be intensively trained, and best of all it is a lot of fun” says Unfrozenmind Marketing Director Alexei Levene.

By enabling Virtual Leadership Development programmes that are globally scalable, and encourage diversity, Human Resource Executives can bring innovative development techniques to their executives that are less costly and faster to implement and scale than more traditional Leadership Development courses.
