Foster + Partners is one of the most renowned and innovative architecture
and integrated design studios in the world, responsible for outstanding
architecture projects including the Gherkin and the Reichstag.
In the architecture and design industry, learning is considered a key way to
beat the competition, making knowledge and training a keystone in Foster
+ Partners' business process, culture and overall success. All architects
must complete 35 hours of CPD training to maintain RIBA (Royal Institute of
British Architects) accreditation and Foster + Partners must also track new
industry trends, tools and ways of working.
Keeping up with a fast-paced industry and understanding new disciplines
such as BIM (Building Information Modelling) was the challenge. The
wealth of knowledge that Foster + Partners did already possess was also
unstructured and dispersed across the organisation, causing difficulties in
recognising skills gaps.
As such, the team needed a centralised system to capture this knowledge
and help staff learn anywhere, anytime, adopting the necessary new
professional skills to maintain their RIBA accreditation and improve
employees' personal development.
