Sony Electronics Europe is distributing across Europe consumer and business products under a very strong brand which is synonym of high tech, luxury & comfort.
While spotting the need for developing homogeneous workplace practices & mindset across its service lines, Sony Europe decided to propose the same training courses covering key skills across Europe.
The requirements were to propose an open pan-European catalogue of engaging training courses in different formats (F2F, blended, digital) in the following domains:
- Communication & Interpersonal excellence
- Intercultural awareness
- 7 habits for associates and for managers
- Leading Remote Teams
- Project Management
- Finance
- Sales & Negotiation
The catalogue was designed to deliver these courses in local languages in UK, FR, DE, ES, HU, PL, GR, IT, NL, CH… We finally have been rolling this out for over 4 years in about 20 different locations each year.
