During the past several months, as the reality of the pandemic has sunk in, business organizations have accelerated their evolution of remote leadership within matrixed structures. Before the pandemic, many managers realized (and lamented) they had direct reports they had never “met personally.” Now, working with remote employees in the matrix that you may never meet is the new reality. There is no lamenting or complaining that you can’t do your job because of remoteness. This change has left many leaders wondering what they are supposed to do and how to do it. Clearly new skills and best practices of leading remotely in the matrix are required.

In part 4 of 4, Robb Gomez, COO of Paradigm Learning and Rob Brodo, CEO of Advantexe respond to interview questions about the use of simulations in today’s changing corporate learning environment.
Question: Why did you decide to develop an asynchronous business acumen simulation?
Rob Brodo
The world has been disrupted. Everything has changed. We needed to change our approach to proactively use innovative tools, like scalable virtual asynchronous business simulations, to provide new opportunities for our mutual clients so they can continue to develop the critical capabilities they need to survive and then thrive. Asynchronous business acumen simulations can be run 24/7 and that’s something we need to offer to organizations thinking differently about how they build the skills of their workforce.
Both Paradigm Learning and Advantexe have been working in the world of simulations for many years and have always had a great working relationship serving different segments of the corporate market. As soon as COVID-19 hit, we reached out to each other with this idea and immediately started designing game-changing solutions that we could offer to all our clients so they can continue to build their business acumen skills from brands they trust and love.

Since COVID-19 has emerged in the US, we have seen a multitude of new trends appear that are pertinent to healthcare providers, patients, and payors.
Physicians and patients have learned to embrace telemedicine and telehealth and Pharma companies have had to bench their sales forces due to social distancing requirements. As a result, Pharma Marketers are increasingly relying on virtual platforms and digital media to connect with their customers.
Additionally, we’ve seen the line continue to blur between home and office and work and leisure time. We’ve seen significant swings in the use of digital media and technology among HCPs as well as the population as a whole. Social media and video calls have replaced face-to-face interactions; paid search trends have dramatically increased; streaming video subscriptions and viewing have soared, we’ve seen a heightened demand for news content, and with the surge in vacationers driving to their summer destinations, Outdoor has made a huge comeback as well.
