PwC's 3-Peat
Freifeld, Lorri
Training, v47 n2 p26-28, 30, 33 Feb 2010
PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) is giving the Chicago Bulls a run for their money when it comes to three-peats. The professional services firm scored the top spot on the Training Top 125 for a record third year in a row. So, just how did PwC nail No. 1 again? For starters, it met and exceeded a hefty challenge in fiscal year 2009: cutting training costs by $30 million while continuing to invest in the long-term development and retention of its people. In this article, PwC Chief Learning Officer Tom Evans describes how PwC approached this challenge as an opportunity to transform the curriculum, which resulted in a cost savings of $57 million in fiscal year 2009. That figure now is up to $64 million.
