Udemy and McLaren Racing continue to partner to
develop high-performance teams helping lead the transition to a
global skills-based economy
Udemy (Nasdaq: UDMY), a leading online skills marketplace and
learning platform, today announced the launch of the
first-of-its-kind course led by senior executives at McLaren
Racing, giving learners, motorsports fans, and business leaders an
inside look into the workings of the renowned motorsports team and
how they develop the skills required to foster high performance.
The course, titled "Accelerating Excellence: Unleashing
High-Performance Culture with McLaren Racing," addresses the
multifaceted challenges of modern work environments and underscores
the importance of fostering a culture of continuous improvement and
inclusivity to drive business results, and retain and attract top
talent.
More than 70 million learners across the Udemy marketplace and
Udemy Business platform will have the opportunity to learn directly
from McLaren leaders:
- Daniel Gallo, Chief People & Sustainability Officer,
McLaren Racing
- Ian James, Managing Director, NEOM McLaren Electric Racing, and
Team Principal, NEOM McLaren Formula E Team
- Piers Thynne, Chief Operating Officer, McLaren F1
Through their course on the Udemy platform, Gallo, James, and
Thynne equip learners with tools and strategies to achieve and
sustain high performance in high-pressure environments, inspired by
the demanding conditions of motorsports. Key themes include
mastering decision-making under pressure, leveraging marginal
gains, prioritizing team health and wellbeing, and fostering a
diverse, innovative, and psychologically safe culture. While the
course has been recorded in English, subtitles are available in 14
international languages including French, German, Hindi, Japanese,
Mandarin, Portuguese, and Spanish.
“There is a critical need for robust leadership development
programs as we transition to a skills-based economy because
effective leaders can drive innovation and enhance organizational
performance,” said Gallo. “Through the Udemy course, we aim to
share best practices on not only achieving high performance but
also how to sustain that mentality in high-pressure
environments.”
“Over 40% of our global enterprise customers are actively
engaging in leadership and management courses, and over the past
two years, the demand for these topics has increased on the Udemy
platform,” said Genefa Murphy, CMO at Udemy. “We are excited to
collaborate with McLaren Racing so that they can share their unique
perspective on how they create and maintain a high-performance
culture while operating in one of the most fast-paced and
data-driven industries there is.”
As the Official Learning and Skills Partner of McLaren Racing,
Udemy collaborates with the global motorsports brand on
skills-oriented initiatives and events, empowering customers and
learners with opportunities to learn how to develop
high-performance teams during times when the skills that are in
demand are constantly evolving. In June, Udemy hosted a webinar
attended by more than 1,000 professionals where Ian James shared
insights on how applying motorsport principles, like high-pressure
decision-making and marginal gains, can be abstracted and applied
across industries. Udemy is further supporting the future of
motorsports as the skills partner for McLaren Racing's 60 Scholars
program which helps empower women in STEM fields with the skills
needed to seed the next generation of leaders.
In partnership with McLaren Racing, Udemy also hosted its first
Innovation Day, titled PowerUp, at McLaren’s OKX Thought Leadership
Centre in April, where enterprise customers exchanged insights on
skills, innovation, high performance, generative AI, and more.
Udemy has brought many of its customers together to learn from each
other and experience the impact of McLaren's teachings live and in
person at a number of races around the world, such as the
Australian Grand Prix, Tokyo E-Prix, Berlin E-Prix, the Spanish
Grand Prix, and most recently, the British Grand Prix at
Silverstone.
"In the face of today's rapidly changing job market,
organizations that prioritize learning as a strategic advantage are
those that will thrive," said Simon Ruszala, Group Learning
Director at Devoteam. "PowerUp provided us invaluable insights and
strategies in building a learning-centric culture that we can
immediately apply to our own L&D initiatives. In addition, the
opportunity to connect with global leaders and learn from McLaren
Racing's unique approach to skills development and validation was
truly inspiring. Udemy is a powerful ally in our journey to learn
at the pace of change and enhance organizational efficiency
allowing us to achieve our business goals."
