Virtual Producers

There are many things that a facilitator cannot do on their own. Having a virtual producer is like owning a second set of invisible hands to manage technology, edit programs, and tackle technical issues. They enhance the experience by improving what’s good and eliminating what’s bad. 

Virtual producers can also act as a second pair of eyes to catch what you might have missed. They test the program, check the content for errors, and provide honest feedback. Making a professional your second line of defense drastically improves content quality and gives you peace of mind.

People learn better when they’re focused and involved. Teams that fly solo will likely become bogged down in technical details that distract learners. A virtual event producer keeps everyone focused by making sure the virtual classroom runs smoothly regardless of the facilitator’s technical literacy.

Additionally, a good virtual producer helps the facilitator feel comfortable using the latest tools that really drive engagement. This is so important because unless a learner is really engaged, the training will not have any long-term effect.

“Extreme” is not a hyperbole. Flights, hotel rooms, meeting rooms, equipment rental, and more make in-person trainings much more expensive than virtual trainings. Companies save thousands of dollars per learner when their teams don’t have to set up an in-person event.

However, the cost savings are hardly worth it if the quality suffers. Partnering with a skilled virtual event producer ensures that no quality is lost when your classroom transfers over from the physical to the virtual world.

Training, even of the highest quality, is wasted when participants don’t retain what was taught. It’s like putting fuel in a vehicle with a hole in the gas tank. Sustained coaching essentially eliminates this problem and skyrockets retention.

Top trainers highly recommend follow-up courses, such as a 30, 60, and 90-day pull-through plan. However, flying out learners every month is difficult and expensive. When done virtually, however, teams can follow through more efficiently.

Spaced repetition improves memory by nearly 80 percent

How useful are hybrid mountain/street bicycles? By trying to do both, you really get a bike that’s not great at doing either. The same can be said for facilitators who try to teach while managing a virtual classroom. You get subpar teaching in a subpar classroom.

Having a virtual producer dedicated to the technology allows facilitators to focus on the content and goals for the learners. Doing everything yourself only makes things complicated. Easier for you means better learning for everyone else.

How important is impactful facilitation?
A recent study shows that 40% of employees who underwent poor training leave their jobs within the first year.
