As a Talent Development professional, one of the most rewarding aspects of delivering high-quality, impactful learning solutions to our clients is to hear executives discuss the impact the learning has on their bottom-line and other key business metrics.
For the past five days, the Advantexe team has been deploying a Business Acumen learning journey for the top 140 leaders of a technology company going through a significant business transformation.

For full transparency, earlier this year I developed and shared with our key clients and leadership team the “Gamification Strategy of Advantexe” so that we could execute and keep up with customer expectations. With our gamification strategy, we have the ability to now capture leader boards, award badges for success, include progress bars, and utilize customized business metrics to reward certain achievements.
