QA offers courses and apprenticeships in personal development, communication and team skills, change leadership and more to help ensure that tech teams have the personal skills to unlock technological and digital success.
Leadership skills for digital success
“It's not a faith in technology. It's faith in people.” - Steve Jobs
Digital transformation is about much more than technology. Delivering change requires organisations to adapt and transform processes, skillsets and attitudes in order to improve digital leadership and empower tech teams.
Why is personal development important for digital transformation?
With miscommunications estimated to cost businesses around $1.2 trillion a year, improving communication skills, personal development and digital leadership training should be a priority for any organisation.
According to McKinsey, 70% of digital transformation initiatives fall short of their goals, yet only 42% of organisations are emphasising communication and emerging technology skills. But when frontline employees take the initiative to dive change, the success of digital transformations rises to 71%. To get to that point, organisations need to transform their people into change makers.

Case study: Radius Payment Solutions
Find out how Europe's leading independent fleet and logistics service provider improved their IT support desk customer service with the help of QA's specialist training.
The challenge:
As Radius expanded its technology offering, the IT Support Desk became a more prominent player in customer experience – however the risk was that many of the team, hired for their technical expertise, were unfamiliar with customer-service best practices.
The solution:
QA and Radius agreed on a fully blended solution to build value for enhancing the customer service experience provided by the Radius IT Department, and provide the insight into ‘best practice’ needed for a high standard moving forward.
The outcome:
“The collaborative and inclusive approach in the classroom … provided a fertile environment for the growth of ideas amongst our team. Our team then used these ideas and invested their time and energies into creating a Customer Service Charter which will provide the ongoing legacy of this training.”
