Scaling Online Open Programs

Facilitating Large Events IMD has fully integrated the Spotme digital event and networking tool, ensuring swift configurations of sessions and speakers. Case: A large financial intermediary requested a self-paced, custom-designed program spanning more than three years and reaching more than 15,000 participants. Using technology-mediated interventions, IMD was able to deliver a bespoke learning experience that cascaded throughout the organization, delivering education to a broader workforce and their affiliates. The solution provided seamless access directly from the client’s intranet portal and IMD’s learning platform and allowed the consumption of the course in a self-paced asynchronous manner. This solution can be applied to any custom-designed client program with similar requirements, offering integration with the client’s authentication systems, automated signup, program enrollment and certification. The content is delivered through a new Learning Management System (LMS), SYLVA, which is cost-effective, fast, and modern.

The Digital Transformation Sprint is a new online program offered in 2021 that focused on skills building by opening the door to IMD’s expertise on digital topics to a broader population of busy executives. The program is delivered using NovoEd, a learning management system providing excellent community building capabilities, peer-review functionality, and an immersive and collaborative learning experience. The first “Sprint” was delivered on December 2021 to a diverse range of participants over a period of 15 days.
