“Customer learning professionals understand the value of education for retaining and engaging customers, but many are often on small teams and may not know how to get the most value and ROI from their learning programs. Thought Industries@ developed the Academy with those professionals in mind, conducting months of research, listening to customer feedback and consulting with industry thought leaders,” said Barry Kelly, Thought Industries CEO. “The Academy is designed to serve as the central on-line destination where customer learning professionals can gather to learn, collaborate with each other and even find their next job.”
