Client Challenges
When Central Pacific Bank came to Blue Ocean Brain in 2017, they wanted to access continuous, digestible personal and professional development training for their busy managers and C-Suite executives.Initially, they used the platform for their leadership teams alone; however, in June 2022, they took the next big step of extending access to the microlearning platform to the entire company. They recognized it would be more equitable and impactful to provide Blue Ocean Brain's learning opportunities to everyone, not just their leaders.
