OWNIT., a corporate training agency established in 2020 by a team with extensive experience in corporate training and organizational transformation, is dedicated to innovating classroom training. The agency focuses on on-demand interpersonal skills training through VR, emphasizing the importance of relevance and urgency in effective learning. Customers include Bluemetric, FrieslandCampina, MarshMcLennan, Rabobank, Volksbank, Assai, and the Dutch Ministry of Finance.
In order to meet demands, Ownit needed a VR authoring platform that would allow them to create customizable and immersive training experiences tailored specifically to each client's needs. The platform needed to support easy content creation that non-technical trainers could use to develop and deploy interactive VR scenarios. This would enable Ownit to offer training solutions that are not only effective but also scalable across various organizational sizes and industries, ultimately enhancing the learning impact through engaging, real-life simulations.
OWNIT. incorporates VR into a blended learning approach, enhancing e-learning and classroom training with immersive VR scenarios. This method includes:
Utilizing realistic 360-degree video captures rather than animated avatars, OWNIT. creates an authentic training environment where learners can safely refine their interpersonal abilities.

For FrieslandCampina, OWNIT. created a training program to help advisors strengthen their acquisition and recruiting skills. Trainees can follow personalized 360° video VR modules when and where they prefer. Afterwards, learnings were translated into individual working contexts using interactive reflection sessions with small groups. Participants evaluated the training program with an average score of 8.3.
OWNIT. helped the Dutch Ministry of Finance to innovate their training curriculum, allowing participants to learn at their workplace with full control over their individual learning process. They especially appreciate the flexibility and freedom to choose when and where to learn, being able to experiment individually in a safe environment, and the sharing of learnings during the reflection sessions.
The training led to a greater awareness of blind spots and stimulated participants to experiment with new behavior (e.g. by paying attention to emotions in interaction with colleagues and not only to content). It was evaluated with a 7.5 on average and a 7.9 for the applicability of the training in their daily work.
Feedback from participants and corporate clients has highlighted the effectiveness and innovative approach of OWNIT.’s VR training solutions:
