Transforming online education for Cambridge Assessment
Maximising digital services for students and teachers for insights and support in the learning process.
Doelstelling
Cambridge Assessment is an international exams body who deliver assessments, qualifications and tests in 170 countries to over 100 million learners. They wanted to transform their approach to delivering new digital products in order to keep up with industry disruptors who were taking advantage of the modern internet approach. With legacy technology, and lack of design thinking and product delivery methods, the team needed a partner to help them transform.
"What an absolutely excellent transformation experience it was. This past year has been one of the most fulfilling of my entire career – and definitely the most intense! It has simply been brilliant, and I would love to work with you all again at some point in the future."
