--- title: "The hospitals, councils and universities we work with" description: "Hospitals, universities, airlines, transport operators and councils PTR has built VR and AI with, in their own words." canonical: https://peopletechrevolution.com/work/who-we-work-with --- [Our Work](https://peopletechrevolution.com/work) # Who we work with Hospitals, universities, airlines, [transport operators](https://peopletechrevolution.com/work/industries/transport-logistics), councils and workplace culture consultancies: the organisations PTR has designed and delivered with, in their own published words. A facilitator guides a participant through a scenario. ## Named clients, published results Mayo Clinic has run one PTR program with more than 1,100 nurse and social worker leaders. Central Coast Council has delivered another more than 200 times across its community. One of those programs runs in the United States and the other in Australia. Both started the same way: a team that wanted somewhere safe to practise the conversation before it counted. What follows is that record: the organisation, the program built with it, and what it reported. ## Healthcare Mater Education, Mayo Clinic and XRHealth Australia. Mirroring a nurse's hands inside the build. ### Mater Education PTR worked with Mater Education on Through the Looking Glass, a VR pilot for its Speaking with Good Judgement program, co-designed with the program team leads and the Centre for Medical Simulation at Harvard. It was delivered face to face to more than 60 participants across Mater campuses, and Mater evaluated it with the staff who took part.

Documented in a peer-reviewed Journal of Nursing Administration paper, it has been delivered to more than 1,100 nurse and social worker leaders across Mayo Clinic campuses.

"Their ability to understand clinical and operational needs and translate complex ideas into safe, realistic VR environments has made the partnership both productive and enjoyable." Martine McCash, Vice President, Services, XRHealth Australia. ## Education Cornell University, University of Illinois Chicago and FoodStream Network. A participant laughs mid-scenario, a facilitator beside him. ### Cornell University Everyday Inclusion, PTR's three-part VR experience exploring unconscious bias and intersectionality, was co-designed with Cornell University and diversity and inclusion expert Angela Winfield. It is the lead title in the PTR VR Library and the module later used with Metro Trains and Etihad Airways. [Read the Everyday Inclusion case study](https://peopletechrevolution.com/work/case-studies/everyday-inclusion-cornell) Cook It: a pinch of salt, in VR. ### FoodStream Network Cook It, developed by PTR with FoodStream Network, reimagines food education as a hands-on, cooking-based program for New York City school students, many from migrant backgrounds. It teaches nutrition, science and cultural appreciation through practical experience, and FoodStream Network recorded a classroom sample in its own case study.

Keia Hobbs, MD, Assistant Dean of Graduate Medical Education, Focus on Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, Office of Graduate Medical Education, University of Illinois Chicago. ## Government and community Central Coast Council. A participant on a beachside terrace, arms wide. ### Central Coast Council Central Coast Council developed a VR experience with PTR as part of its strategy to improve disability access and inclusion, co-designed with the Council's Access and Inclusion Reference Group. It gives a first-person view of a beach and a shopping centre with a disability, and has been delivered across the community more than 200 times.

A headset session in an open-plan office. ### Google A four-scenario VR diversity, equity and inclusion training co-designed by PTR co-founder Leonie Sanderson and Google's DEI volunteers, documented in a [peer-reviewed CHI 2024 paper](https://peopletechrevolution.com/uploads/docs/people-tech-revolution-google-vr-inclusion-training-chi-2024.pdf) co-authored by Google researchers and Sanderson. [Download the Google research paper PDF](https://peopletechrevolution.com/uploads/docs/people-tech-revolution-google-vr-inclusion-training-chi-2024.pdf) In the first training cohort of Google security staff, average satisfaction was 4.7 out of 5, and all but one respondent rated the VR training better than Google's standard DEI training.

The pilot was run with Utano Global, whose yarning circles followed each session. [Read the Etihad Airways case study](https://peopletechrevolution.com/work/case-studies/etihad-cabin-crew-inclusion) A team member waits for a review conversation. ### Optus For Optus, PTR built a VR experience that supports a culture of belonging. It lets people step into the shoes of both employees and managers to see the impact of workplace bias as it happens. The promotion conversation, across the desk. ### Domain Group "Participants are able to empathise and discuss the experiences with detail that just wouldn't be possible without actually experiencing it themselves." Nic Barry, Digital Learning and Organisational Capability, Domain Group. A pitch, rehearsed in a blue-walled office. ### 89 Degrees East Archer's Lab is a VR experience PTR built to help women build confidence pitching their business ideas. "Their approach was structured and transparent and they always let us know what was achievable given the timeframe and budget." Sally Wagnon, Senior Campaign Manager, 89 Degrees East. A senior leader listens to a younger colleague. ### MWAH, Making Work Human Again "They jump back, step away, they gasp, they try to find their voice, they ask to be included and when dismissed, they physically shrink. And when they can't do any of those things, the learning sticks and the real conversations begin." Rhonda Brighton-Hall, CEO, MWAH, Making Work Human Again. > "We could see how powerful VR is at giving people 'a-ha moments' and wanted to create training that has an impact on people's behaviours." Leonie Sanderson Co-founder, People Tech Revolution.

A rail yard at dawn, a colleague alongside. ### Metro Trains In collaboration with Grit Leadership, PTR delivered three targeted VR training sessions for Metro Trains using the Everyday Inclusion module. The sessions helped the organisation examine systemic bias and support gender equity in operational roles such as train maintenance.

A crib room table, late in the shift. ### Mining and resources Most mining training is technical, and most mining incidents are not. The moments that decide a shift are a crew member who is too tired to say so, a pre-start where nobody raises the thing everyone can see, and the decision to stop work. PTR builds the conversation around the work: the pre-start, the handover and the decision to stop. [Mining and Resources](https://peopletechrevolution.com/work/industries/mining-resources) A remote site clinic, red earth outside. A workshop shed, a colleague at the door. A resident talks with a care worker outdoors. ### Aged care The kitchen table, the garden bench, the medication round: the conversations care staff rehearse, built with the same first-person method as the Central Coast Council program. Aged care is an area PTR is actively building for, and the disability-awareness work is where it starts.
