Towards Maturity’s Ambassador Programme increases its international focus with IMC
IMC, one of Europe’s leading e-learning providers, joins Towards Maturity’s growing international Ambassador Programme.
One of Europe’s leading providers of learning and talent management solutions IMC, has joined Towards Maturity’s growing Ambassador Programme.
Towards Maturity’s Ambassador Programme is made up of 21 leading learning specialist companies including UK, German and Indian based companies . They work together as ambassadors for change, identifying and improving good practices, raising awareness and driving the whole learning technology industry forward. They also share a common passion for ensuring that independent advice is freely available to all.
Towards Maturity’s annual benchmark is the largest international online learning technology study. It provides its participants with personalised benchmark reports to help improve the impact of learning technologies in their organisations. Both the study and personalised benchmark reports are free thanks to the Towards Maturity’s Ambassador Programme.
Dr Dirk Thissen, Regional Director of Northern Europe at IMC comments, “With more than four million people in over 1,000 companies and public institutions putting their trust in our products and service, we pride ourselves at promoting good practice. We are proud to support the outstanding work by Towards Maturity’s Ambassadors to increase learning technology good practice globally.”
The 2012 Benchmark Study is currently analysing how organisations’ learning strategies are responding to uncertain economic times, including how this climate is affecting budgets, technology changes and the building of talent. It also looked at the impact learning technologies are having in organisations of different sizes and sectors. Furthermore it will uncover the hype verses the reality of learning technology trends, whilst detailing drivers, barriers and benefits.
Laura Overton, Managing Director of Towards Maturity said, “We are delighted that IMC has joined our growing Ambassador Programme. We are seeing an increasing trend to benchmark not only in the UK, but internationally. IMC’s global perspective will be invaluable to help ensure that more organisations are aware of the effective practices that really make a difference.”
The Towards Maturity’s Ambassador Programme includes the following founding ambassadors Brightwave, Epic, GlobalEnglish, LINE Communications, The Corporate eLearning Consortium, successfactors, Redtray and The Charity Learning Consortium, plus CERTPOINT Systems, Speexx, Fusion-Universal, Information Transfer, learndirect, Toolwire, e2train, QA, Ontuitive, MindLeaders, Upside Learning, IMC and Redware.
