Future Workplace chose NovoEd as its platform partner to create a cohort-based and semi-synchronous program with an online workspace for sharing ideas, giving feedback, and collaboration. To date, Future Workplace has had a 75% completion rate on its courses.

Best Advance in Leadership Development

Gold. Global Learn & Lead Program – Supporting the Employee Journey.  As this leading manufacturer and marketer of consumer and professional products transitioned its disparate leadership development efforts to a broader, scalable strategy for its people managers, they established NovoEd as their Learner Experience Technology Platform, drawing on the social and collaborative learning functionality integral to the program.
