(PRWEB) October 03, 2018 -- During a special presentation at CLO Symposium Fall 2018 taking place in Houston, Chief Learning Officer magazine announced the winners of its coveted 2018 Learning In Practice Awards. Celebrating more than 60 visionary learning executives, organizations and industry vendors, this year’s awards recognized recent innovations in the design and delivery of enterprise education initiatives.

The top honor — 2018 CLO of the Year — went to Brenda Sugrue, global chief learning officer for EY. Sugrue oversees the strategic direction and deployment of learning and leadership development for more than 250,000 EY employees worldwide and is widely credited with spearheading a major learning transformation at the multinational professional services firm.

Established in 2003, the annual Learning In Practice Awards single out individuals and companies that not only demonstrate innovation but also champion the impact of corporate education on workforce performance and business growth. Gold, silver and bronze awards are given in two broad classes. Practitioner awards are conferred in two divisions, based on organization size. They recognize CLOs and qualified senior learning leaders for outstanding learning and development initiatives. Provider awards recognize qualified service providers, vendors and consultants for their work on behalf of a client organization.
