Award-Winning Programs at a Glance
Common Ground Industrial (CGI)
CGI is a first-of-its-kind immersive training program created for manufacturing and industrial workforces. Built using WILL Interactive’s proprietary interactive movie format, the program teaches essential skills in communication, teamwork, and conflict resolution. Users become the lead characters in realistic stories and learn how to make good decisions regarding safety concerns, interpersonal dynamics, and management pressures in industrial environments.
Cybersecurity
WILL’s course revolutionizes cybersecurity training by sharing immersive stories about actual events. Users are placed in dynamic scenarios involving phishing, ransomware, and insider threats. With multiple decision points and branching narratives, participants learn not only what to look out for but also how their choices affect broader organizational security. This program strengthens awareness, accountability, and proactive defense strategies across the workforce.
“Winning two Telly Awards is an honor,” said Sharon Sloane, CEO of WILL Interactive. “They recognize and validate that learning makes a more positive and lasting real-life impact when it’s fun, challenging, and thought-provoking by depicting real-world events and complexities.”
