This document summarizes IBM's process of updating its leadership development program called Basic Blue for New Leaders (BBNL). IBM partnered with Herrmann International to develop a blended learning solution incorporating online and virtual classroom elements to reduce costs while maintaining quality. The new program includes an online simulation called Thinking Accelerator that uses participants' Herrmann Brain Dominance profiles. Pilots showed high satisfaction rates and superior knowledge gains compared to the previous classroom-only program. The partnership helped IBM globally scale its leadership training while focusing classroom time on real-world applications.
