What was the learning programme all about? Online learning offers a powerful tool with clear and consistent messages, and can provide effective learning management to meet audit requirements. Channel 4 and its partner Acteon Communication had the challenge of creating a learning experience that would engage Channel 4 employees and drive the behaviours that underpin reputation and viewer trust. The result was The Learning to Take Risks programme.
