AMA Earns Two Brandon Hall Group HCM Excellence Awards for Leadership Development
American Management Association (AMA), a global leader in professional development, has been recognized with two Brandon Hall Group HCM Excellence Awards at the Bronze level in the Leadership Development category. The honors spotlight AMA's collaborative, business-focused approach to building leaders who can navigate growth and change.
The two awards recognize programs AMA developed in partnership with major global organizations: EXPLORE—Building Hyundai Genesis's Next Generation of Leaders and Building Leadership Capacity to Power Sustainable Growth with Mitsubishi Power. Each initiative was designed around its client's distinct priorities while strengthening the leadership capacity needed to prepare the next generation of leaders.
"These awards reflect the power of close collaboration and purpose-built leadership development. Working with Hyundai Genesis and Mitsubishi Power, we created learning experiences tailored to each organization's distinct business priorities while building the leadership capabilities needed to navigate growth and change."
