Future Learning Group Named Finalist in the British Data Awards 2025!

Last week we announced that Future Learning Group (FLG) has been named a Finalist in the British Data Awards 2025! 🎉

The British Data Awards is an annual quest to discover and celebrate the UK’s data success stories. This year, a record 448 entries were submitted across a diverse range of organisations, from FTSE 100 giants to public sector innovators, technology unicorns, fast-growing start-ups, and critical Not-For-Profits. The competition was fiercer than ever, making our recognition as a Finalist an incredible achievement!

Jason Johnson, Co-Founder of Predatech and British Data Awards judge, stated:

“Judging so many excellent entries really is a huge challenge but also an enormous privilege. Every organisation named a Finalist this year should be exceptionally proud of this achievement. By sharing your data success stories with us, you’re also helping to showcase the strength and vibrancy of the UK’s data ecosystem, and I can’t wait to celebrate your achievements on the 14th of May.”

Why This Recognition Matters

At FLG, we’re pioneering a new approach to workforce development. Traditional training methods are outdated. Passive PowerPoint presentations and disengaging workshops do not equip teams with the skills they need to succeed. Our mission is to redefine learning through game-based experiences, fostering critical skills such as communication, teamwork, resilience, and leadership.

By combining cutting-edge gamified learning, social learning theory, and data-driven coaching, FLG is reshaping workforce training, ensuring that learning is not only effective but also engaging, impactful, and long-lasting.

The FLG Difference - Future-Fit Teams Through Experiential Learning

📌 Game-Based Learning: Leveraging game mechanics to enhance motivation, engagement, and retention. Research shows that gamified learning improves problem-solving abilities, adaptability, and decision-making.

📌 Social Learning Theory: People learn best through observation, imitation, and collaboration. FLG’s interactive, team-based scenarios ensure that learning is active, not passive.

📌 Elite Coaching: Our platform is supported by industry-leading data and business professionals, ensuring real-world application and measurable outcomes.

📌 Practical Business Strategies: We do not just teach theory, we equip teams with practical, coached strategies that drive real-world business impact.

Why PowerSkills Matter in an AI-Driven World

While technology is rapidly reshaping industries, human skills – adaptability, communication, problem-solving, and leadership – are more critical than ever. Research indicates that up to 80% of data projects fail due to a lack of data fluency and the ability to adapt to change. FLG equips leaders and teams with the skills they need to navigate transformation with confidence.

A Win for the Future of Learning

Being shortlisted for Start-Up of the Year highlights the importance of innovative learning approaches. It also validates the need for a new way to upskill the workforce, energise team development, and move beyond outdated training methods.

A huge thank you to our incredible team, partners, and clients who share our vision for the future of learning! 🚀 We can’t wait for the awards ceremony on 14 May – fingers crossed! 🤞
