“Our goal has always been to ensure individuals get the most from their learning and companies achieve the business results they expect from their investment in training initiatives. Our intention was to create a truly integrated extended learning system that provides a seamless flow of information, knowledge and skills, reinforcement, manager coaching, and application that are essential to impact business.
