Chesterfield, MO – December 1, 2015 − On November 30, 2015, BizLibrary acquired AK Learning. The acquisition includes all of the assets of AK Learning including its current customers, intellectual property and products.
Part of the acquisition is a collection of over 1,000 video lessons covering a range of important business and professional skills areas. Among the key content areas are human resources, project management, employment law, leadership and management.
Another key product acquired is the BoosterLearn training reinforcement platform. This is a unique product designed to help employees retain and apply important lessons by applying scientific principles to employee training.
Booster Learn delivers targeted pieces of content to employees at very specific intervals to dramatically increase learning retention. Boosters can be delivered for any training program to learners anytime on any device.
“BizLibrary’s acquisition of AK Learning is a significant milestone for BizLibrary,” said Dean Pichee, president and founder of BizLibrary. “I am particularly pleased about what this acquisition means to our clients. We already sit at the very leading edge of the industry with our BizLibrary Collection of thousands of short, micro-learning videos. Our clients already realize results that are substantially better than our competitors. Now we’re adding more than 1,000 new video lessons and the BoosterLearn platform, creating an unequaled combination of video training content and technology that ensures employees learn, retain and apply the knowledge they need to improve their performance. Over the course of our 19 year history, we’ve grown at a very healthy rate, especially over the last four years. Adding the video lessons and platform from AK Learning puts BizLibrary in a position to accelerate our growth even faster, which will enable us to deliver an even more effective and exciting solution to our clients.”
BizLibrary will continue to use the BoosterLearn product name.
“When Dean and I met, I was pleased to meet a professional who shares my passion for delivering training that actually works and produces results,” said Art Kohn, president and founder of AK Learning. “As a researcher, I tried to develop products that are based on scientific principles of learning and retention. I am pleased that BizLibrary is going to continue develop these products because they bring a whole new level of expertise to what we’ve been doing, with scalable technology and business processes, so customers are going to benefit tremendously.”
