Management Consultancy International Receives Top Training Award
Winner - Excellence in Australian Learning Innovation
In a fierce competition with some of the largest training organisations in Australia Management Consultancy International won the top Award from the Australian Institute of Training & Development for Excellence in Australian Learning Innovation, particularly for our work in adapting an international methodology to create innovative training solutions for the Australian market.
In accepting the prestigious award this week, Managing Director Denise Meyerson said "We are thrilled to receive this award, particularly in the category of learning innovation. We are firmly of the view that now is the time for every organisation to ensure that their people have access to world's best practice in training programs. No longer can companies continue to use the same old programs that have been around for years. This is a new era and one that requires new thinking and innovation.
Our work with global organisations gives us a unique insight into the latest innovations in learning programs internationally. One example is LEGO® Serious PlayTM and we are excited about our ability to adapt it to an Australian market.
We also congratulate the other nominees in our category: American Express, Commonwealth Bank, Deloitte and Hudson Global Resources."
Commenting on the award, Paul Dumble, Chief Executive Officer of the Australian Institute of Training & Development said "The quality of entries into the Australian Learning Innovation category was excellent. The judging process was lengthy and intensive with much debate amongst the Judging Panel on how to define innovation and what is important to the training and development industry. Management Consultancy International came out the winner in this tightly contested category." While this is the inaugural year for this particular category the AITD has been conducting the National Training Excellence Awards since 2002 and prior to that they were hosted on a state by state basis. The 2009 awards function attracted close to 200 attendees from across the L&D community.
Responding, Denise said, "The award for 'Outstanding contribution to the practice of learning and development" is something everyone in our organisation can be proud of. Our Award and Certificate of Excellence will take pride of place in our office and we look forward to continuing our mission of developing customised learning programs that helped transform processes, behaviours and attitudes within organisations." she added.
