Building strategic partnerships, often with unconventional sources has been observed to be a highly fruitful method of innovating in management training. Avon for example built a partnership with University of Central Florida (UCF) for this purpose. A teaching game was co-developed called Avon Fever. This was a low risk, fun game which hooked employees of the organization into the learning process. The university’s Institute for Simulation and Training (IST) had difficulties in scaling their operations, a gap which was filled by Avon which is known for its operational efficiency. In order to execute such projects, it is also advised that innovative teams with multi-disciplinary skill sets are developed.
