The strategic focus of Barclay's Take the Lead e-learning programme is to provide an integrated and consistent leadership proposition for Barclays. The programme takes a blended approach, with a key component being the website, which forms a single gateway for leader development.
The solution uses Epic's Arena Learning Portal.
The Take the Lead site features news and articles, forums, and a range of functionality for collaborative learning, co-ordinating both online and offline activity. Content is designed to engage learners by focusing on leadership issues and role models drawn not only from within the organisation but also from contemporary society and popular culture, such as the dynamics of team building within the Big Brother house.
