The e-learning Awards winners were announced on the 10th of November.

Towards Maturity (good practice partner for the e-learning awards) would like to congratulate all the e-learning award winners.

In it's seventh year, there were a record number of entries from 17 countries so it was great to see that 25%  of the awards handed out went to Towards Maturity Ambassadors!

We were particularly thrilled to see Mike Booth from Cable & Wireless pick up  E-learning industry award for outstanding achievement.

I have known Mike for almost 10 years as he was one of the original contributors to our first benchmark report. Over that time his own organisation has undergone significant changes that would have daunted many learning professionals. But Mike embraced the challenge by consistently innovating, ensuring that learning was positioned to support business transformation rather than be left behind and he's always been willing to share lessons learned. You can follow some of his story here.
