NovoEd and its partners took home the following awards:
Best Certification Program
Forrester won Gold for its CX Certification Program. In response to Forrester’s CX Council’s request that they play a more active role in establishing competencies of CX professionals, Forrester created a CX Certification Program on the NovoEd platform. The program is a rich, interactive, cohort-based learning experience to support collaborative, cross-functional CX initiatives. Since the launch of the program in July 2018, over 1,000 professionals representing 800 different companies have been trained, with course completion rates of 90% and over 500 individuals reaching certification.
Best Advance in Custom Content
Future Workplace won Gold for its Helping HR Practitioners Initiate HR Experiments. This five-week online course was designed to help HR leaders understand the business impact of using artificial intelligence in recruiting, internal talent mobility, learning and development, and coaching to enhance the candidate and employee experience. Future Workplace chose NovoEd as its platform partner to create a cohort-based and semi-synchronous program with an online workspace for sharing ideas, giving feedback, and collaboration. To date, Future Workplace has had a 75% completion rate on its courses.
Best Advance in Leadership Development

To date, MyPath has had an 87% favorable rating on content with 86% of users believing the courses would impact team engagement.
