To co-shape the change towards a new age of mobility, Audi employs a strategy allowing it to stay competitive and fulfil the demands for mobile experiences of its clients. In the time of the fully electronic e-tron car, Audi Connect is not a “nice-to-have” anymore but a “must-have”. This means Sales personnel and clients must be included. Instead of conventional “one-size-fits-all” sales trainings Area9 Lyceum and Audi jointly implemented A.I. based adaptive learning to optimize the learning success of the sales team. The Audi Connect Program is a tailored, highly personalized learning program, which is sensitive to a much often overlooked obstacle for successful learning: Unconscious Incompetence and Unconscious Competence.
“Brandon Hall Group Excellence Awards in 2021 provide much-needed and well-deserved recognition to organizations that went above and beyond to support their stakeholders during the unprecedented disruption of the COVID-19 pandemic,” said Brandon Hall Group COO and leader of the HCM Excellence Awards Program Rachel Cooke.
A jury consisting of experienced, independent senior industry experts, as well as senior analysts and business leaders of the Brandon Hall Group judged the contribution based on these categories: fulfilling demand, Design of the Program, functionality, innovation and measurable success.
“We added several awards categories this year to specifically address critical needs, including how organizations addressed the new dynamics of work and embedded the principles of diversity, equity and inclusion in their HCM practices,” Brandon Hall Group CEO Mike Cooke said.
