Herbert Smith Freehills – Anti-money laundering

Bringing anti-money laundering to life through engaging and interactive e-learning.

THE TRAINING NEED

Herbert Smith Freehills (HSF) is an international leading provider of professional services that aims to meet its clients’ legal needs by assisting them in seizing opportunities and managing risk.

HSF commissioned Aleido to design and develop a 30-minute, interactive e-learning course on anti-money laundering, terrorist financing and sanctions.

Specific requirements of the e-learning included:

It was important to bring HSF policies and procedures to life for learners so they could understand and identify the warning signs and know who to alert.

OUR BESPOKE LEARNING SOLUTION

With the target audience in mind and the potential high stakes for failure to act on anti-money laundering, this course needed to be engaging and ‘speak’ to everyone, regardless of role or jurisdiction. Using simple English, we followed a professional, clear and concise writing style that ensured this training was accurate and consistent.

Therefore, we at Aleido developed an engaging e-learning solution that would provoke the interest and enthusiasm of HSF’s learners and enhance their recall of the course. This was achieved by interactive storytelling, where learners explored different scenarios around the potential effects of Anti-Money Laundering. By using their judgement and making decisions, they would navigate through the process of spotting signs of financial fraud and money laundering and responding to them. Various activities and questions were rooted in these stories, and key messages were weaved throughout the course. The use of animation and clever instructional design was also used to ensure learner engagement, including a final scenario-based, summative assessment with unlimited attempts so the learner could evidence the correct knowledge by the end of the module.
