Docebo and Deloitte Forge Strategic Alliance Enabling Enterprises to Evolve Into High-Impact Learning Organizations

Docebo Inc. (Nasdaq:DCBO; TSX:DCBO) ("Docebo" or the "Company"), a global leader in AI-powered learning solutions, today announced a strategic alliance with Deloitte to help mid-size and large organizations build robust, growth-focused learning ecosystems. This alliance will guide companies as they evolve from transactional learning systems into agile and indispensable learning organizations, fully integrated with long-term business growth and operating efficiency.

This alliance combines Docebo's cutting-edge learning technology with Deloitte's consulting and implementation knowledge to deliver scalable, tailored solutions that meet the rapidly changing needs of complex organizations across U.S. commercial and government sectors. By bringing together Deloitte’s experience in corporate transformation and Docebo’s innovative learning platform, the alliance provides a clear pathway for organizations to develop high-impact learning cultures that boost employee engagement and drive measurable business success.

Travis Burke, EVP of Corporate Development & Partnerships at Docebo, commented: “Our alliance with Deloitte is a pivotal step in supporting organizations that want to harness learning as a driver for growth and operating efficiency. By combining our scalable technology with Deloitte's industry experience, we’re creating an ecosystem where learning is more than a simple support function; it becomes a catalyst for strategic transformation across the business.”

Franz Gilbert, Managing Director, Human Capital Ecosystems & Alliances Leader at Deloitte Consulting LLP, shared: "Delivering engaging learning experiences is not optional anymore; it is a critical necessity for organizations aiming to stay competitive in today’s fast-paced business world. With Docebo’s cutting-edge learning platform and our Workforce Transformation practice capabilities, we can help businesses develop the skills and knowledge they need to thrive amid rapid technological advancements and changes."

Stuart Rosenberg, Managing Director at Deloitte Consulting LLP, added: "Our collaboration with Docebo reflects a shared vision of transforming workforce development through immersive learning experiences like Deloitte Academies. The strength of the Docebo platform, along with its ease of implementation and operational flexibility, is transformative for organizations. This alliance allows us to deliver customized learning experiences that not only address current skill gaps but also anticipate future needs, helping our clients build a future-ready workforce capable of driving sustained business success."

From Transactional to Transformational Learning

As announced by Deloitte at the 2024 Inspire Dallas conference, the Docebo-Deloitte alliance introduces a structured maturity model, guiding organizations through four distinct stages of development in their learning functions:

1. Transactional & Essential - Learning is disconnected and reactive, serving as a basic support function.
2. Established & Striving - Intentional learning strategies emerge, setting the foundation for leading-edge capabilities.
3. Comprehensive & Scaling - Learning becomes scalable, with a strong cultural footprint and L&D operational mastery.
4. Agile & Indispensable - A fully integrated learning culture supporting continuous improvement for short and long-term growth.

Currently, only 12% of organizations operate at the “Agile & Indispensable” level, indicating a significant opportunity for transformation.
