Area9 Lyceum is pleased to announce a partnership agreement with MTW of Portugal, a strategic communications consulting firm that specializes in training for national and international leaders across multiple industries.The partnership was celebrated at a launch event to unveil MTW’s newest corporate learning solution: “MTW Adaptive Learning powered by Area9 Rhapsode™,” with co-branding by the two partners. MTW Adaptive Learning features Area9 Rhapsode™, the world-class advanced adaptive learning platform from Area9 Lyceum.

“We’re proud to partner with MTW to launch its new adaptive learning initiative,” said Ulrik Juul Christensen, M.D., Chairman of Area9 Group. “The need for efficient, effective training has never been greater for organizations worldwide. With advanced adaptive learning, corporate learning takes a huge step forward with personalized solutions—and at scale.”

The partnership was two years in the making, after MTW first met Area9 Lyceum at a learning industry event in the U.S. From that first meeting, MTW decided adaptive learning was the future, even though that would mean disrupting its business model. Once MTW determined the corporate learning market had matured to the point where adaptive learning would be widely embraced, the partnership came together—to enthusiastic responses from MTW’s clients.

MTW draws from more than 12 years of developing its training methodology and customizing content, training, and consulting to meet the needs of its clients. MTW has delivered more than 27,000 hours of training and consulting to about 8,000 national and international leaders. Now, with Area9 Rhapsode™ as the platform, MTW Adaptive Learning can broaden its scope and reach more people within organizations.

“We train leaders. That´s it. For 12 years, we´ve searched for a way to guarantee, at a large scale, the excellence and the tailoring of the training we deliver in our one to one sessions. Area9 was the answer we were looking for in the market.” Sara Batalha CEO.
