The World Bank Group is a vital source of financial and technical assistance to developing countries around the world. The company is made up of two unique development institutions owned by 185 member countries: the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development (IBRD) and the International Development Association (IDA). Each institution plays a different but supportive role in their mission of global poverty reduction and the improvement of living standards.
Business Problem
The World Bank Group needed a more effective event management system for its Global Development Learning Network (GDLN), a partnership of learning centers facilitated by the Bank. The previous BPM software system did not effectively or efficiently manage the planning and delivery of joint virtual learning and communication events.
