PUTRAJAYA: The Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) has been honoured with the ‘Gold Award’ for its digital leadership programme in the recently concluded Brandon Hall Group Technology Excellence Awards 2023.
This is the second consecutive year which witnessed MCMC winning the prestigious Brandon Hall Group Technology Excellence Awards in its partnership with KNOLSKAPE.
It also saw MCMC being recognised in the ‘Best Advance in Gaming or Simulation Technology’ category for the ‘All-Star Development Programme.’
MCMC, in a statement today, said the commission aimed to strengthen its leadership team, particularly within department heads and directors, by focusing on two key areas, namely shifting the mindset toward outward ecosystem thinking and equipping participants with the necessary knowledge and skills to be Sustainable Leaders with Digital Leadership capabilities.
It said that together with KNOLSKAPE, it custom-designed the All-Star Development Programme as a launch pad for a three-year digital leadership journey to address the gaps in digital-ready leaders.
The All-Star programme is a three-month highly immersive, simulation-based blended programme that emphasised business and digital modules within the business and the external strategic context of MCMC.
According to MCMC Chief Human Resources Officer Dr Murugappan, the development of the All-Star Development Programme has been a huge success in preparing tactical leaders to be leaders of tomorrow.
The programme focuses on leading digital transformation and is delivered with advanced gamification and simulation technologies on the KNOLSKAPE platform, he said.
Meanwhile, KNOLSKAPE founder and chief executive officer Rajiv Jayaraman said KNOLSKAPE is committed to helping organisations and leaders become future-ready through experiential learning.
“The recognition from Brandon Hall Group for the work we have done for MCMC is a significant recognition of the impact we’ve made.
“Securing the GOLD Award in the category of ‘Best Advance in Gaming or Simulation Technology’ came during a pivotal moment of our intense innovation focus. Our value proposition of immersive learning for learners and talent intelligence, scalability and flexible delivery for the organisation helps us deliver valuable learning, performance, and business outcomes,” he added.
The entries for the awards were evaluated by a panel of veterans, independent senior industry experts, Brandon Hall Group analysts and executives based on these criteria, namely fit the need, programme design, functionality, innovation and overall measurable benefits. – Bernama
