"The Learning in Practice awards were established to recognize transformational and visionary leaders in enterprise education," said Norm Kamikow, President and Editor-in-Chief of Chief Learning Officer magazine. "A record number of top learning executives and solution providers were nominated by their peers. The winners are the industry leaders who truly champion innovation and transform it into learning and value for their organizations."

NIIT was honored specifically for its bespoke e-Learning programme developed for Diageo. "We are proud to be recognized with this award particularly among our esteemed colleagues in the learning industry," said Sapnesh Lalla, Senior Vice President of NIIT (USA), Inc. "In an economy where the learning organization must aggressively show clear impact on business, we continue to be relied upon to partner with companies such as Diageo to assist them in the delivering programs which clearly demonstrate measurable results."
Diageo leveraged NIIT’s award winning CMA Methodology to develop its Information Systems training programme which has returned its investment back to the organization in just 90 short days.
