The honor, in the “Best Advance in Generative AI Solution” category, recognizes Harbinger’s iContent Framework for its GenAI capabilities that empower organizations to develop and modernize learning content.
The 2025 Brandon Hall Group Excellence in Awards™ are given for work in Learning and Development, Talent Management, Talent Acquisition, Human Resources, Sales Enablement, Future of Work, and Education Technology.
Harbinger Group, a leader in eLearning and HR Tech solutions, won a coveted Brandon Hall Group Gold award for excellence in the ‘Best Advance in Generative AI Solution’ category.
Harbinger Group’s win was announced on December 4, 2025. The winners are listed at https://excellenceawards.brandonhall.com/winners/
Harbinger’s award-winning iContent Framework is a configurable, Gen AI learning content authoring solution that offers scalable, secure, and autonomous content development capabilities. It automates content creation workflows, enables learning teams to design, translate, and assemble instructional content while having human-in-the-loop to ensure high quality. The platform supports over 50 languages and integrates AI agents for assessment generation, localization, and multimedia automation. Clients have reported up to 40% faster content development and 30-45% cost reduction across large learning programs.
On receiving this award Umesh Kanade, Vice President – Capability Development, Harbinger Group said, “AI should simplify work, not add complexity. When we created iContent, our mission was to make content development faster, more transparent, and truly measurable—while ensuring a human-in-the-loop remains central to every decision. Today, our customers use iContent to cut development timelines by weeks and consistently elevate quality across distributed teams.”
He added, “Enterprise learning leaders are under increasing pressure to scale content without compromising quality. iContent enables them to achieve that balance by combining intelligent automation with sound instructional design principles. This recognition from Brandon Hall Group reinforces the real business impact we are delivering and reflects our commitment to building practical, trustworthy AI solutions that create measurable value for modern learning teams.”
“The Excellence in Technology Awards celebrate the most forward-thinking innovations shaping the future of learning, talent, and human capital management. This year’s winners exemplify how technology can unlock new possibilities—improving performance, enabling smarter decision-making, and transforming how organizations support and develop their people,” said Rachel Cooke, Brandon Hall Group Chief Operating Officer and leader of the Excellence Awards program.
Entries were evaluated by a panel of veteran, independent senior industry experts, Brandon Hall Group analysts, and executives based upon these criteria: fit the need, program design, functionality, innovation, and overall measurable benefits.
Excellence Award winners are scheduled to be honored at Brandon Hall Group’s HCM Excellence Conference, February 9-12, 2026, at the Hilton West Palm Beach, Florida. Select winners will also serve as presenters in breakout sessions, sharing their leading practices during the conference.
