AMA Recognized for Excellence in Learning Technology
For over a century, American Management Association has been trusted by the world’s top organizations for leadership and management development. Now that trust extends to the future of learning.
AMA has been named a multi-award winner in Brandon Hall Group’s Excellence in Technology Awards, earning recognition for innovation across AI-powered learning, online education and blended learning solutions. The honors mark a significant milestone, positioning AMA as an award-winning leader not only in leadership development, but also in education technology.
These awards reflect how AMA is translating its long-standing leadership expertise into modern learning environments shaped by new tools and new expectations.
A Breakthrough in Education Technology
The Brandon Hall Group Excellence in Technology Awards recognize organizations that are building the future of learning through thoughtful design and measurable impact. Winners are selected by an independent panel of senior analysts and industry experts using a rigorous evaluation framework.
AMA was recognized in three categories:
These honors place AMA among a small group of organizations recognized across multiple technology categories in the same year.
What This Recognition Signals
AMA’s reputation was built long before learning technology became central to the conversation. These awards point to what comes next.
As organizations look for learning that keeps pace with change without losing depth, AMA is building experiences that meet people inside the complexity of modern work. Few organizations are doing this with both history and momentum. AMA is, and this recognition only makes that more visible.
“AMA has long been recognized for excellence in leadership development, and these awards validate the next chapter of our evolution,” said Manny Avramidis, President & Chief Executive Officer, American Management Association. “They reflect our commitment to pairing proven leadership expertise with innovative technology that delivers real-world impact at scale.”
AMA’s technology-enabled offerings are designed to support professionals as they build skills in environments that are increasingly digital and fast moving.
Recognition from a Trusted Industry Authority
Brandon Hall Group’s Excellence Awards are widely regarded as one of the most respected honors in human capital management. For more than 30 years, the organization has set the standard for recognizing innovation across learning, leadership development, talent management and technology.
“Our Technology Awards are built on a rigorous evaluation framework that measures true innovation, functional excellence and quantifiable business impact,” said Mike Cooke, Chief Executive Officer of Brandon Hall Group. “The solution providers and organizations recognized this year reflect the highest standards in the industry, demonstrating how technology can accelerate capability, efficiency and results.”
AMA will be formally recognized at Brandon Hall Group’s HCM Excellence Conference, taking place February 9–12, 2026, in West Palm Beach, Florida.
Looking Ahead
Recognition like this matters because it reflects how learning is evolving to keep up with today’s business needs and learners’ preferences. The pace of work leaves little room to prepare in advance. People are expected to adjust while decisions are already in motion.
That reality puts pressure on skills. What you learned once does not carry you as far as it used to. Skills now need to be built while work is happening, shaped by real situations and strengthened through varying modalities, reinforcement tools and repetition with feedback and opportunities for improvement.
Technology supports that shift, and learning becomes more impactful when it connects directly to the work people are doing. When roles keep changing and expectations remain high, the ability to keep learning becomes a way to stay steady and prepared for what’s next.
AMA’s recognition by Brandon Hall Group reflects this direction. The work behind these awards focuses on learning that helps people stay effective as conditions change. For professionals looking ahead, the takeaway is clear: Readiness comes from skills that hold up in real work and are reinforced and continuously practiced—not from one-time learning events.
