Building a Global Future. JSB Named as Winner of the 2014 Queens Award for Enterprise: International Trade
LONDON, April 22, 2014 /PRNewswire/ --
The Queen's Awards for Enterprise are the highest accolade a business can achieve. JSB is honoured to be named as a winner for our outstanding contribution to international trade.
Paul Secher, Chairman said:
"We have taken our knowledge, experience and expertise, reached out beyond national boundaries and established a genuinely global presence, creating an international reputation for the quality of our design, content and service delivery. It is very rare for a learning and development organisation to receive The Queen's Award for International Trade and it is a source of great pride and an enormous tribute to our staff and associates in the UK and overseas, that JSB has been honoured by Her Majesty."
Established in 1980, JSB works with leading businesses in the UK, Europe, Asia Pacific and the Americas to enable and sustain outstanding performance by individuals, teams and organisations. Through our learning, development and organisational consulting services we work with around a thousand clients every year, helping them to achieve success.
JSB's international operations have expanded in a rapid, sustained and consistent way. In the three-year period covered by the award, we have more than doubled our direct overseas sales - to a level where they represent over a third of our turnover. From our base in London, we work with clients in more than 25 countries - including Singapore, India, China, Australia, the USA, South Africa and many European countries.
For us, enterprise means many things. At its heart is creating value for our clients. Delivering cost-effective, coherent development to their workforces helps our clients to succeed - to define and execute their strategy; to ensure that every member of their organisation fulfils their potential.
Enterprise in a global marketplace has meant changing the way we work. Recruiting locally based associates so that we can deliver more of our services at a lower cost to our clients, in their local language and in a more environmentally sustainable way. Using technology-enhanced learning to deliver cost-effective, globally integrated development including e-learning, virtual classrooms and collaborative online portals. Delivering more than 200 seminars and conferences in cities around the world, including New York, Paris and San Francisco - and attracting to our London events an increasingly international audience.
Above all, enterprise means thinking in a different way. In our own, highly-diverse team, we continue to develop our ability to look beyond the borders of our own country, to understand and work with different cultures and to find new ways to help our clients succeed in geographies around the world.
Established in 1980, we work with leading businesses in Europe, Asia Pacific and the Americas to enable and sustain people and organisational performance. Through learning, development and organisational consulting services, we deliver solutions for thousands of clients annually. We understand the interdependency between people and organisational development and capability to work holistically delivers exceptional, sustainable results.
