Companies Join Forces For Corporate Learning Services

Compiled ByJill Jusko Three companies have formed an alliance to provide a broad range of corporate learning products and services. As part of the four-year agreement, FT Knowledge, a corporate training provider, and Indeliq, a simulation-based e-learning solutions provider, will co-develop, co-brand and co-market more than 200 hours of simulation-based e-learning courses, initially focusing on skills for newly promoted managers. Those courses encompass topics such as coaching, financial analysis, change management and building high-performance teams. FT Knowledge also becomes global professional services firm Accenture's preferred provider of business-skills learning services and content.

"This combination supports Accenture Learning's mission to improve its clients' workforce performance by delivering outsourced transformational learning services," says Harry Brakeley, managing partner of Accenture Learning. Chicago-based Indeliq is an affiliate company of Accenture. London's FT Knowledge is part of international media company Pearson PLC, London.
