The Learning and Performance Institute hosts the annual Learning Awards to recognise outstanding examples of high standards, best practice, innovation and excellence in Learning and Development.

Applying learning technologies to sales productivity can produce significant value-add for the organisation – if it is done well. But that’s a big “if”! Working collaboratively with its client, Tarkett (a world-wide flooring solutions provider), LearningAge was able to develop an innovative solution that involved both conventional channels and mobile delivery.

Whilst the extent of innovation was impressive, the delivery in fourteen different languages was challenging, and the fact that the user can change the content was extremely sound, it was the business outcome that really impressed the judges.

Achieving a significant increase in sales productivity demonstrated that it met its immediate objective, but the organisation’s future plans for the deployment of learning technologies show that the programme will have a longer term impact on business performance.
