Growth Engineering named as a finalist in the AITD Excellence Awards
Growth Engineering, a multi-award winning learning technologies company, has been named as a finalist at this year’s AITD Excellence Awards.
The entry was made jointly with one of Growth Engineering’s clients, Holcim Australia. Holcim used Growth Engineering’s gamified, social learning management system, The Academy LMS, to build Holcim Australia Sales Academy.
Since 2002, the Australian Institute of Training and Development (AITD) has recognised outstanding achievement in learning and development and in organisational development through its Excellence Awards.
Holcim Australia Sales Academy is a finalist in the ‘Best Implementation of a Blended Learning Solution’ category. This award is presented to an organisation which can demonstrate excellence and impact by utilising a combination of learning delivery mechanisms and methodologies in a learning initiative.
As well as licensing Growth Engineering’s Academy LMS, Holcim also licensed their library of interactive sales training content, accredited by the Institute of Sales and Marketing Management.
They based their learning programme around this content, and turned it into a robust five-stage blended learning solution. Their learners complete the online learning unit, go on to apply this learning on-the-job, attend face-to-face workshops, complete a written assignment, and then receive an internationally recognised qualification.
Since launching the learning programme, Holcim has seen increased sales performance across the business. Their learners have also shown high levels of engagement with the training, and have earned nearly 300 ISMM awards.
Juliette Denny, Managing Director of Growth Engineering, said: “I feel like running all the way around the globe to celebrate with our Holcim friends in person! The fact that we’re making such big waves on the opposite side of the planet proves just how much impact we’re making internationally!”
The winners of the AITD Excellence Awards will be announced on November 27 at a gala dinner in Sydney.
