OVERVIEW

One of the oldest and largest financial institutions in the UAE needed a comprehensive training curriculum to educate its entire workforce of over 12,000 professionals on Information Security, Cyber Security, and Banking Security standards. The original plan for a series of instructor-led sessions had to be completely re-imagined due to a sudden shift to a remote-first work environment.

Involvement

Challenges

The client was faced with the monumental task of delivering business-critical security training to a massive, diverse workforce during a period of unprecedented operational disruption. Success required overcoming significant logistical and instructional design hurdles.

The OBLIQ Solution

OBLIQ provided the strategic guidance and execution capability to rapidly transform their training program for a digital-first world, ensuring broad reach and high impact while maximizing their existing technology investment.

Our Approach

Our primary role was to act as a strategic partner, providing both the vision and the execution capability to navigate a high-stakes, rapid transformation. We focused on mitigating risk while maximizing the reach and impact of the training.

Rapid Strategy Pivot

We immediately convened a task force with the client’s L&D and security teams to architect a new, fully digital delivery model, creating a clear project plan in a matter of days.

Centralized Content Management

To handle the complex content from various SMEs, we established a centralized review and development process. This ensured all information was consistent, accurate, and translated effectively into engaging learning content.

Designing for a Diverse Audience

Our instructional designers created a modular curriculum. While core concepts were universal, specific scenarios, examples, and assessments were tailored to the three distinct learning paths, making the training relevant to each employee’s daily role.

Leveraging Existing Technology

A key challenge was maximizing the client’s investment in their Cornerstone OnDemand LMS. We became experts in their specific configuration, designing the learning modules to integrate perfectly and take full advantage of the platform’s tracking and reporting capabilities.

The Results

The digital transformation of the cybersecurity curriculum was a resounding success, enabling the client to exceed their original training goals with greater efficiency and impact. The project demonstrated the power of strategic digital learning to drive enterprise-wide change.
