Case Study - IPWEA and Cahoot Learning

The Challenge.

Capability within public entities to manage their infrastructure assets has been the focus of the IPWEA for many years.

IPWEA was recognised as a leading association for infrastructure management professionals and was seeking for a way to scale capability development internationally while retaining the high standards of its face-to-face courses.

Building Success Together.

IPWEA engaged the Cahoot Learning team to assist with a total course redesign from a 4-day face-to-face program into a completely digital, community-based delivery, with a focus on:

Scaling it globally

Ensuring global learners can access this program, building stronger networked relationships between the learners, industry experts and IPWEA. A continuous improvement plan is also in place to ensure regular improvements to the program.

Industry-focused credentials

Developing a new type of industry-focused credentials, recognising the learner’s achievement for completing the program.

Practical and Applicable

Building a highly-practical program with the final assignment being an actual Asset Management Plan created from the learner’s organisation data, signed off by their manager and implementing back into their organisation.

Providing an immersive learning experience.

Hands-on

Participants draft an Asset Management Plan using their organisation’s own data.

Active Learning Pedagogy

Participants apply their learning immediately in real situations.

Learning in Stages
