Corporate training is changing — fast.
Slides and workshops are no longer enough to prepare leaders for real-world complexity.
In this episode of Exponential Africa, Mic Mann sits down with Kirsty Chadwick, Founder & CEO of The Training Room Online, to explore the future of learning in an AI-driven world.
Together, they unpack the launch of Red Horizon — an immersive, simulation-based learning experience built inside UBU.
Designed for corporate leaders and teams, Red Horizon creates a safe space to:
- Make high-stakes decisions
- Navigate uncertainty and trade-offs
- Learn through experience, not theory
- Receive real-time feedback in an interactive 3D environment
This represents a fundamental shift — from passive learning to active, decision-based training.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
Why traditional corporate training is no longer effective
The rise of AI-powered and immersive learning
What Red Horizon is and how it works
How simulation-based training drives real behavioural change
What the future of leadership development looks like
