Case Study: AkzoNobel achieves a 600% increase in learning engagement with Skillsoft Percipio

AkzoNobel - Customer Case Study

AkzoNobel, a global leader in paints and coatings, set out in 2019 to modernize its learning and development approach by shifting from external courses to a tailored, digital learning ecosystem that supports self-directed career and skills development across its multinational workforce.

The company selected Skillsoft’s Percipio platform, mapped competency frameworks to curated content, and localized learning to different cultures while driving adoption through internal communications. The rollout produced strong engagement—learning sessions grew from 4,500 in 2019 to over 25,000 in 2020 and page views rose from 103,000 to nearly 733,000—and AkzoNobel plans further integration with SuccessFactors to embed L&D tracking into its HR systems.
