/PRNewswire/ -- Bluedrop Learning
Networks today announced the successful completion
of its joint project with Thunderbird School of Global Management
to develop and launch an online learning platform to assist Clinton
Global Initiative (CGI) commitment-makers as they develop their CGI
Commitments to Action.
KEY FACTS:
- Established in 2005 by President Bill Clinton, CGI convenes global leaders to
make "Commitments to Action" — new,
specific and measurable projects that address
significant global challenges.
- Bluedrop and Thunderbird designed and launched a scalable
online training resource to help CGI commitment-makers create and
enact those commitments for the betterment of their
communities.
- The online learning platform, developed on the Bluedrop
Learning Network Platform, is designed to provide support to CGI
members through the process required to create effective,
meaningful and measurable plans for their CGI Commitments to
Action.
- The online learning platform is now ready for all CGI
members to use.
SUPPORTING QUOTES:
- Emad Rizkalla, founder
and CEO of Bluedrop Learning Networks,
said:
"CGI members are passionate about the
challenges that face the world today, but it's not always clear how
to translate that passion into a game plan that delivers measurable
results. Together with Thunderbird School of Global Management,
Bluedrop developed and launched an online skills training program
that supports our fellow CGI members to transform their passion for
change into real results in improving people's lives for the
better."
- Kellie Kreiser,
executive director, Thunderbird for Good,
said:
"Many of the most powerful Commitments
to Action are the result of partnerships, with CGI members
combining efforts to expand their impact. We were able
to leverage our world-class business curriculum with Bluedrop's
expertise in online learning to create this powerful tool that we
hope will help other Clinton Global Initiative Members
to create their own successful partnerships."
