Technology
Technology and technology enablement are key underpinnings of our approach to supporting our clients. KG2 Consulting is acutely aware that both public and private sector organizations struggle with keeping track of the most expensive items on the organization’s balance sheets; human resources and infrastructure assets…their people, places, and things. The only way to adequately address these challenges is to leverage some form of enterprise technology…we provide our clients with extensive experience planning for, designing, selecting, and implementing infrastructure management solutions (BIM / BMS / CAD / CAFM / CMMS / EAM / eGRC / ERP / GIS / IoT / IWMS / RPA) and training technologies for Immersive Learning (augmented and mixed realities (AR & MR), virtual worlds (VW), virtual reality (VR), social media, simulations, and serious games); Learning Management Systems (LMS); Mobile Learning; and Blended Learning (Distance Learning / Immersive Learning / Mobile Learning).
Our approach to Environmental Sustainability and Energy Management also involves innovative sustainability technology. As in the areas listed above, we assist our clients with requirements validations, as-is and to-be business process improvements, functional and preliminary technical designs, solution testing, training, and post implementation support…we provide assistance with implementing technology software solutions for an integrated asset management strategy, devising a consolidated IT infrastructure, developing comprehensive training solutions, as well providing expertise on the various types of sustainability technologies, from green data centers to renewable solar and wind alternatives.
Training
In times of economic uncertainty, especially in a post-pandemic world, it’s easy to forget that a company’s or organizations biggest asset is its pool of competent talent. We understand that training is a critical way to keep your human resources agile, well-informed 21st century employees who leverage the best your company has to offer to ensure that the competitive advantage afforded by deep knowledge and subject matter expertise is maintained. This is especially relevant on the rapidly changing and risk fraught road to digital transformation, and incorporating training programs for information security, risk management, and control are necessary to prepare employees to reduce losses, maintain constituent trust, and protect your bottom line. To this end, we focus on human factors in Cybersecurity, provide soft skills training for Cybersecurity professionals, and offer individual and team coaching to optimize Cybersecurity skills. Leveraging industry best practice with specialized frameworks and delivery approaches like iPrep4™, KG2 Consulting can assist…whether you’re looking to refine existing courses or to develop brand new training.
We are skilled in many of the leading-edge technologies for learning including e-learning, social media, mobile learning and immersive learning, and can be your one-stop-shop for analyzing your current-state and recommending a plan for enhancing your training programs, both internal facing and external. By leveraging the best technology solutions, including our immersive, interactive virtual workplace (i2VW) product suite, we address the challenge of accessibility to training in a way that underscores what today’s learners need…they want to learn exactly what they need to know, precisely when they need to know it, and from wherever they happen to be.
