Major Pharma Enterprise Selects BTS for an initial MUSD 2.8 Global Leadership Initiative



Stockholm, Sweden and Stamford, USA - BTS Group AB (publ),  the world
leader in customized business simulations and other discovery-based
learning solutions, has been selected for an initial MUSD 2.8
contract, where MUSD 1.5 is licenses, to deliver the first phase of a
broad curriculum of business leadership development programs at a
leading global pharmaceuticals corporation.
The curriculum's purpose is to build business leadership and
execution capability in over 9,000 frontline managers worldwide.
"We are proud to be working with this Global leader in the
Pharmaceutical Industry on this strategic initiative with a global
rollout and an extremely rapid implementation phase - we believe our
innovative process and high impact learning methodologies represent
the future of effective learning," says Henrik Ekelund, President and
CEO of BTS Group AB.
The strategic project provides a wide range of learning components,
including:
- initial assessments
- online communities
- online coursework
- immersive scenario and business simulations
All of the above is intended to be a continuum of learning rather
than a single event. The program incorporates BTS' Advantage Way(TM)
process which engages senior leaders in a way that creates a strong
"line of sight" from each learner to their organization's goals and
strategic priorities.
The BTS methodology begins with mapping the impact of the project,
which closely aligns the learning initiative to corporate goals and
the process culminates with built-in mechanisms that capture ROI and
success cases for replication across the firm.
BTS and the client will deliver the curriculum in 9-10 different
languages to thousands of employees, increasing the relevancy and
immediacy of the content. BTS global reach secures the ability to
deliver localized sessions on demand.  The client will also broadly
implement a train-the-trainer process to engage leaders in various
markets in the delivery of the sessions.
 "This innovative program accelerates the time to adoption of new
behaviors established by the company's senior leadership, and the
integration of the BTS' Advantage Way Process ensures leader
engagement on delivering business results." concluded MR Ekelund.
