Ian Erskine — Managing Director & CEO, ACI Global & E-Quip
ACI Podcast Episode 37: Discover how ACI Global's ISO e-Quip Academy continues transforming professional development with ISO-aligned learning, real-time certification insights, and offers a bold new standard for global leadership training by Real People for People not Machines.
In this Interview Managing Director and CEO Ian Erskine discusses with Myles from Xraised the gap in professional development and global certification that now exists due to AI, Automated Decision Making (ADM) and Machine Learning which has inspired the ACI Global ISO e-Quip Academy Model now, at this moment to be fully focused on People and their Organisations.
Myles and Ian discuss How does e-Quip continue to reshape the way people learn to lead, particularly in a world where hybrid workplaces and evolving compliance demands are the new norm. Ian explains that the e-Quip Academy is equipped with highly skilled "People" not "Machines" experienced Facilitators and Mentors with a minimum of 30 to 40 years of both ISO and Industry experience so as to achieve personal facilitation and mentoring to ensure the highest level of Merit! Ian is adamant that there cannot be any place in this process in determining Merit for AI, Automated Decision Making or Machine Learning.
One fascinating feature of the platform is its "Test Drive" experience—very few learning providers offer that level of transparency. What does this say about ACI Global's confidence in its process, and how has this changed how professionals engage with certification? Ian explains this feature is a demonstration of our Openness and Transparency and commitment to People and their Professional Development to Turbo Charge their Careers based on Merit and Accelerating Continuous Improvement (AI) to further Drive their Organisations Sustained Success.
Ian says ACI Global has always focused on making quality "contagious". Myles asked Ian How is e-Quip Academy helping turn that slogan into a system—especially when it comes to embedding ISO standards into everyday business practice, not just policy binders? Again, a great question Myles and firmly Yes! the Academy is a secure Home for People to learn and achieve greatness through Peer review from seasoned Professional who take great pleasure in sharing Knowledge and Skills with People.
In Looking ahead, Ian was asked how do you see the role of the e-Quip Academy evolving—especially in preparing future leaders who not only meet global standards but shape them? And what's your boldest hope for the next generation walking through its virtual doors? This is a very good question the e-quip academy not only offers an ability for the candidate to learn from experienced professionals but at the completion of a course they are issued with ISO Personal Certification and if the Sponsoring Organisation so chooses, they are able to Undertake Business and or Industry ISO Certification.
