Fighter pilots work in an unforgiving environment. Especially if operating from an aircraft carrier. To survive and accomplish their missions in a high workload, rapidly changing and challenging environment they cannot solely rely on their skills. They use combat proven methods forged by years of experience.
Mach 3 Management shares and adapts those methods for the corporate world. In order to put people in situations where they will have to take decisions, communicate, face workload challenges and much more, the company uses virtual reality flight simulators.
The Services and Offerings
The Virtual Reality immersion enables the gamification process to reach another level. Using the best of the best methods used in military and civil aviation, either in Europe or in North America M3M offers a new approach to corporate training. Communication, decision making, continuous improvement, briefing and debriefing methodology, leadership, and followership are just some of the subjects the company focuses on.
Mach 3 Management has worked with Business Schools, universities, banks, healthcare companies, tech companies, aviation industry manufacturer, which contributed in expanding and growing its concept. It currently holds the capability to deploy 8 flight simulators and one control center linked all together at the client location. The London based company delivers training all over Europe and is currently reaching out new markets overseas. It also offers keynote speeches or workshops without VR when the number of attendees makes it unrealistic to tailor a VR solution.
