a virtual reality event for team collaboration.

Glued, Risk Evolves and Coventry University teamed up to host an event at Coventry University’s Delia Derbyshire Building on Friday 29 November 2024, taking participants into an immersive virtual reality experience.

the experience

The event was built around a VR escape room challenge developed by students from Coventry University’s College of Arts & Humanities. Through collaborative tasks and puzzles, teams would see how different approaches to a crisis, whether methodical, instinctive or cautious, can bring complementary strengths.

who it was for

Business managers and leaders who want to understand team dynamics better, and build more effective communication and problem-solving in their organisations.

what attendees would gain

• insight into different problem-solving styles
• practical ways to use diverse thinking in the workplace
• ideas for using behavioural flexibility to drive innovation

about the partnership

Glued coined the term “The Unconventional Convention” and, with Risk Evolves, commissioned Coventry University to devise the event using VR tools. It was an early step towards what became Teams Glued.
