Among hundreds of applicants from around the world, the CGS/Microsoft project “Microsoft: Driving Growth with an Inclusive Marketing Journey” was awarded the bronze trophy. The project illustrates the essence of workforce transformation and allows the Microsoft marketing team to quickly become familiar with the four key pillars of inclusive marketing (responsiveness, representation, globalization, and accessibility).

Introduced in 2020, the Microsoft Marketing Learning team developed a robust Introduction to Inclusive Marketing course as part of a broader qualification program. Similar to a cross between the game Trivial Pursuit and the TV show Where in the World is Carmen San Diego, it takes learners on an adventure. The game fosters genuine relationships with people who celebrate diverse values, respect for a wide range of human experiences, and positive impact on consumers.

“We know that our learners enjoy consuming content, but have limited time and space to study,” said Dr. Malika Viltz-Emerson, Director of HR Digital Transformation at Microsoft. “In partnership with CGS, we embarked on a journey to bring our learners a shorter, more engaging and easily consumable inclusive marketing journey game. It allows learners to interact with peers around the world and challenges users to demonstrate and apply their knowledge of integrative marketing. Microsoft’s involvement in this space is refreshing, it’s not just about targeting niche segments or compliance; it offers opportunities for all people to feel seen and understood.”

“At CGS, our goal is to enable the transformation of the workforce through technology. We are honored to be recognized for our tailored learning approaches and innovations in partnership with Microsoft as they advance their company’s mission,” said Doug Stephen, President of Learning at CGS. “Partnering with our valued customers to enhance training and engagement initiatives and delivering personalized services to ensure an exceptional customer experience is in our DNA. Our ongoing partnership with Microsoft is an example of the best ways to work together to bring knowledge to diverse and geographically distant employees.”
