Lessons Learned Clients
“We called on Lessons Learned to help us with customer due diligence, an important issue that is fundamental to all financial organisations. We were delighted with what we can only call an engaging programme, which not only educated our workforce, but actually gave us working knowledge about the issues. Using animation, video, games, and detailed case studies, what was covered will certainly help us enormously going forward.”
