Money Management Institute Increases Professional Upskilling by using D2L Brightspace

MMI delivers a more personalized learning ecosystem for financial professionals

Press Release

D2L, a global leader in learning innovation, supports the Money Management Institute (MMI) in its efforts to help provide access to professional development opportunities for over 200 member companies. With their award-winning Learning Hub, MMI leveraged D2L to help increase learning engagement by up to 99%. 

“We needed a learning platform that could go beyond a traditional learning management system and create a personalized learning ecosystem. Brightspace was flexible enough to support extensive customization for different audiences and powerful enough to effectively manage a growing portfolio of professional development programs—all while enhancing the learner experience.”

Sandra Sowah
First Vice President, Learning Experience Design and Technology Manager at MMI.

Since implementing D2L Brightspace to help deliver more innovative learning experiences across their program offerings, MMI has seen engagement reach as high as 99% in their executive-level program, Executive IQ by Money Management Institute, and their entry-level program, MMI Academy. After refreshing the Leadership Pathway program, geared towards mid-level professionals, MMI also saw a significant increase in learner engagement rates—rising from 46% to 87%. 

“D2L is proud to support MMI as they expand their reach and invest in the next generation of financial service leaders with more engaging and scalable training and development opportunities,” said Sandy Rezendes, Head of Corporate Learning and Development at D2L. “By leveraging D2L Brightspace, MMI has built a more personalized learning ecosystem that can drive remarkable engagement, while making higher-quality upskilling more accessible to financial professionals.”  

MMI selected D2L Brightspace to help launch their MMI Learning Hub, a centralized ecosystem designed to support and upskill professionals across more than 200 different financial services firms. The Hub offers a range of hybrid programs tailored to early-, mid-, and executive-level professionals, offering more flexible and scalable learning experiences for different career stages. 

The MMI Learning Hub recently earned a Silver Brandon Hall Group Excellence Award for Best Advance in Unique Learning Technology. MMI’s Executive IQ program also received Gold for Best Executive Development Program, in addition to nine prestigious Brandon Hall Group Human Capital Management Excellence Awards to date.
