A night of celebration - EFMD award ceremony

We recently attended the EFMD Award ceremony in Maastricht, Holland, to pick up our Excellence in Practice Award for our partnership with ArcelorMittal.

The award ceremony was a great evening, filled with lots of opportunities to meet and network with some leading edge thinkers and personalities within the L&D industry.

The awards are actually part of a larger event held by the EFMD (European Foundation for Management Development), called the 2011 EFMD Executive Education meeting, which provided a beneficial insight into current learning and training trends being used by multinational organizations. We were glad to discover that we seem to be ‘ahead of the game’ when it comes to virtual delivery, which was the central theme of this year’s conference.

We are award winners!

Stop press! I am delighted to announce that together with our client ArcelorMittal we have won an Excellence in Practice Award 2011 from the European Foundation for Management Development (EFMD).

Everyone at TMA World and ArcelorMittal is very excited by the recognition that this win provides to the transformational enterprise wide learning partnership that we have undertaken together.

When ArcelorMittal merged to form the world's largest steel company, among a number of competing priorities were two substantial learning and development challenges; the upskilling of its management population across the globe and the need to support organizational change and alignment on an enterprise wide basis.

Through our strong and ongoing partnership with ArcelorMittal's Corporate University and global learning and development network, together we've made significant progress in addressing these challenges. You can read the details of this partnership here.

The Awards ceremony takes place in October, when it'll be time to dust off our dinner suits and ball dresses!
