🏆 We are beyond delighted to be awarded the 2024 CCMA Ireland Customer Contact and Shared Service Award for the Best Training & Development Programme with our emerging regtech platform, eleetlx, at Friday's gala in Dublin. 🏆 eleetlx was developed to address the very nuanced needs of regulated markets, where learning, compliance and deep domain immersion are complex and uncompromising. It creates training that engages the growing GenZ workforce to consume knowledge in a way that increases engagement, builds professional acumen faster and drives improved retention. A huge thanks to Dorothy O' Byrne and the wider CCMA judging panel for your support. The calibre of organisations in the category shortlist was next-level, and we are humbled to be recognised with the stunning CCMA trophy. Congratulations to the great team at Forward Emphasis International whose passion to make a difference has nurtured our solution to achieve great results for the business, and we look forward to progressing the next iteration of this development in 2025 - Marie, Phillip, Shaunagh, Kevin, JP Read more here: https://lnkd.in/erzVy_yQ #awards #regtech #LX #CX #innovation 🏆

The learning landscape has rapidly evolved from static, in-person training to dynamic digital solutions. Traditional methods often leave employees disengaged, especially in complex, compliance-heavy fields. Now, adaptive learning is further transforming training by using AI to personalise pace and content, aligning it to each learner's needs and job-specific skills.

Customer and brand excellence in the insurance industry is underpinned by a need for flawless regulatory compliance and technical expertise that spans a myriad of policies, rules and legislation. The penalty of getting this wrong can be anything from lost customers to heavy fines. As competition grows, and regulation gains more scrutiny, we tackled the risk of non-compliance and quality with learning experience (LX) innovation - prototyped and iterated for 12 months, we have developed a game changing LX solution for the industry that improves efficiency by 50%, speeds up production and competency 3x and massively reduces early cycle attrition. Traditional delivery models are no longer enough to meet the high industry standards in an effective way, so we set a new standard. #CX #LX #Innovation #Insurtech #Regtech #Insurance #FinancialServices #Regulated
