“They have been so collaborative. It doesn’t feel like you’re just a customer; you are on their journey, they are on your journey. Nothing is too much trouble.”
AboutPrinces
Princes, a global food and drink manufacturer with over 350 brands, relies on a diverse 7,000-strong workforce across countries like the UK, Poland, and Italy. To unify their dispersed team and streamline operations, they needed a central learning platform.
What do we want to be known for?
Princes knew their digital learning strategy needed an overhaul. To figure out exactly what they needed from a new platform, they asked themselves the question:
“As a learning function, what do we want to be known for?”
Their existing platform took a traditional, compliance based approach. While this meant that most of their team received the necessary training, it didn’t fit within the bold digital learning strategy they envisioned. Along with a lack of inspiration and innovation, the platform simply wasn’t fit for purpose: a SharePoint based site with a distinct lack of licences, some of the workforce couldn’t even access it.
Enter Thrive.

Food for thought
One of Princes’ main objectives was to encourage better communication between every single employee – and Thrive has allowed them to do just that.
Princes uses the Broadcast feature to hold a bi-weekly virtual event called “Food for Thought.” This company-wide broadcast brings people together from all over the business to share the various projects that keep Princes at the forefront of their industry.
This sense of collaboration is made even better with the Thrive Mobile App. For factory operatives and other deskless employees, regularly interacting with Princes’ content and branding via the app helps them to feel connected to the business, instead of simply doing their job in a vacuum.

Pull vs. Push
One of the most impactful innovations within the business has been the welcome move towards “pull” learning, instead of just “push.” In other words, Princes’ learners are now able to decide for themselves when and what would be most helpful for them to learn, instead of simply being told what to do.
Through the use of Thrive Content – Thrive’s off-the-shelf content solution with thousands of pre-made resources – Princes can be confident that their learning content is consistently fresh, exciting and relevant to their end users. Thrive keeps ahead of the news and trends within L&D, meaning Princes is also always one step ahead.
