VIC – your Virtual Interactive Coach has been named the winner of two prestigious Learning Excellence Awards 2021.

The company�s AI coaching tool, which runs alongside it�s free support and development programme for HR Directors, blew judges away in the IT and Technology Learning Excellence Award, with awards judges saying:

�VIC is so technologically advanced that even tech companies find it cool. It�s the best combination of learning technologies ever seen and is rated 10/10 for ease of use and 10/10 for business impact.

�Psych-Tech� A.I. and �1-Clickology� underpin the ground-breaking Emulated Coaching and integrated Agile Talent Development offering. VIC has transformed E-Learning into a practical and proven productivity tool that delivers 5-8% performance improvement and a strong ROI. VIC is revolutionizing learning, coaching and the role of L&D.�

VIC was the first AI coaching tool to market and is continuing to invest in in AI technology – and unlike other AI coaching providers, VIC has multi-award-winning CEO coach Peter Ryding at the helm.  A former blue -chip CEO who later progressed to supporting other businesses with his business turnaround and coaching skills, Peter�s expertise across all sizes of business has left him with a good understanding of the skills businesses need to thrive � and importantly, how AI technology can work hand in hand with people.  VIC is, essentially, like having Peter�s leadership experience and knowledge in your pocket and his voice in your ear.

Peter explains:

�Boardrooms don�t make businesses thrive, people and skills do.  My successful turnaround CEO career was based on developing and upskilling people � leaving the business able to thrive without me.  I know first-hand the soft skills that people need to do this.  Working with some of the best AI developers has enabled VIC to develop and nurture these skills in others in a way that feels natural and easy to put into practice. 

�My goal was to create the technology to cultivate soft skills through coaching, making board-level coaching more affordable and accessible to an entire organisation rather than exclusively for the boardroom.  VIC is the result of over 10 years of collaboration with HR, technology and L&D experts.�

Later in the evening, VIC learned they had also won the hotly contested Mobile Learning Award.  Judges said:

�VIC has taken the concept of mobile learning to the next level by giving all employees (and their families) an automated A.I. coach in their pocket 24/7, that is also a subject matter expert on over 250 topics! What�s more. it can integrate with the organizational culture, best practice, recruitment, induction, performance reviews and succession planning.

�VIC solves problems instantly and turns feedback into 1-Clickology links straight to content, so closing skills gaps in just moments not months. This gives better solutions faster, before they grow, and gets more done in less time – so boosting performance in brand new ways and changing lives at a human level.�

Peter said:

�I am delighted and proud to accept the Mobile Learning Award on behalf of the VIC team.  We�ve focused on delivering a multi-platform mobile learning experience, with users able to access support and learning via PC, Tablet and Mobile, but also via WhatsApp, Email and even over the telephone.

�We couldn�t do this without our team and it�s great to see them recognised with such a prestigious award.  Thank you.�
