LEO is delighted to announce a new partnership with The Open University, the UK’s largest university and a world leader in distance learning and training.

Working with The Open University will allow us to collaboratively bring learning transformation on a larger scale to corporate and government clients with both speed and award-winning customer service.

This partnership will combine The Open University’s wealth of content and world-class reputation with LEO’s learning expertise and innovative learning solutions to provide an entirely unique addition to our end-to-end service offering.

Some of the services LEO and The Open University will collaborate on include:

  • Product development and marketing
  • Responses to global corporate/ government RFPs
  • Creating propositions for specific sectors (e.g. defence, government)
  • Advising on rolling out learning transformation programmes in large corporates

LEO’s Chief Strategy Officer, Piers Lea, said: “The Open University for years has been supplying first-class education and training at distance. This is a capability that every government department and multinational is keen to acquire.

“Working together we can now combine the depth of the OU’s courses across areas such as leadership and management, commercial awareness and finance, and engineering with our custom content and systems to directly address client business issues head on.”

LEO and The Open University are already working on their first collaborations, so look out for news about new projects and service offerings in the near future. For more information about the partnership, please contact LEO at [email protected] or The Open University www.openuniversity.co.uk/leo.
