e-learning awards
We are delighted to have been shortlisted for two more awards for work we are doing with long-term client Priory Group, and also for our work with Care Management Group.
With Care Management Group we have been shortlisted for the E-learning Award in the category 'Best e-learning project securing widespread adoption'. The joint entry demonstrates how Fulfilling Potential, a new e-learning implementation, has been enthusiastically adopted within a people-focussed working environment, and has rapidly delivered significant business impact.
David Spruzen, Commercial Director at CMG, sums this up: "Fulfilling Potential has had a huge impact for CMG. And beyond learning and development, that impact goes right to the core of our values."
In a joint entry with Priory Group we have been shortlisted for the E-learning industry award for outstanding achievement. The entry tells the story of Foundations for Growth (FFG), a blended corporate learning programme. For the past four years, FFG has enabled specialist care provider Priory to deliver comprehensive and effective training and to achieve outstanding business benefits. FFG has also had a major impact on establishing best practice within the e-learning industry, as well as promoting the use of e-learning in the care sector.
"Priory aims to deliver consistent services of the highest quality, and FFG is vital to this. It is wonderful to go to a Priory site and see staff of all grades using FFG as part of their work. The result is better trained staff, improved service delivery and higher patient satisfaction," said Matthew Franzidis, COO at Priory Group.
The winners will be announced at a gala dinner held at the Sheraton Park Lane Hotel on 12th November 2009.
