Creating Learning Pathways at Crown Melbourne Limited

The initiative earned a Gold Award for Best Unique or Innovative Learning and Development Program in the 2015 Brandon Hall Group Excellence Awards.
Intuit Integrates Training into the Technology Workflow
Intuit has a robust community using its QuickBooks product, and the QuickBooks ProAdvisor certification program offers a way for users to demonstrate mastery of the platform. Intuit’s recent reinvention of the ProAdvisor Program allows it to be fully integrated into the QuickBooks Online Accountant web-based product, putting on-demand training and certifications directly into the everyday workflow. This effort earned a Silver Award for Best Learning Program Supporting a Change Transformation Business Strategy in the 2015 Excellence Awards.
Emirates NBD Creates Customer Value from its Certification Program
This case study profiles the certification program created by Emirates NBD. The program was used to help qualify and quantify the competencies of the workforce with relation to small business banking, a strategic target of the Dubai-based financial institution. The initiative led to sustained business growth, more customer-focused behaviors, stronger teams, and more. This earned the organization a Silver Award for Best Certification Program in the 2015 Excellence Awards.
Learning Drives Business Impact at UST Global
Learning is often associated with training. But the true measure of learning isn’t how many hours of courses were delivered–it’s business impact. In this case study of UST Global, we see how the California-based technology company was able to make this transition, measuring everything from employee engagement and innovation to social impact and business growth. This earned UST Global a Silver Award for Best Advance in Learning Strategy in the 2015 Excellence Awards.
Learning Technology Use at Lurie Children’s Hospital
Businesses change locations all the time, but when it happens with a hospital, there are specific challenges that must be overcome. One of those is the move of medically complex patients with specific needs. This case study highlights how Lurie Children’s Hospital of Chicago, a 4,000- employee healthcare organization, was able to train its staff and ultimately complete a successful transition. This program won a Bronze Award for Best Learning Technology Implementation in the 2015 Excellence Awards.
Implementing Learning Technology at McDonald’s
McDonald’s Australia faces the same challenges as other restaurants worldwide. The company wants to ensure leaders are driving business performance by empowering and motivating employees.

This initiative earned a Bronze Award for Learning Technology Implementation in the 2015 Excellence Awards.
