Lee Roulston | Founder & CEO, Thinka
Ben Roulston | Founder & COO, Thinka
In this session, the co-founders of Thinka talk about working with constructor, Multiplex, to convey key safety messages to a national audience. The challenge was to build a modern solution that inspired critical thinking, encouraged decision-making and influenced behaviour. Using carefully-crafted video simulations, Thinka and Multiplex achieved an authentic piece of learning that used worksites and employees to bring safety scenarios to life.
