May 2008 FranklinCovey, the global leader in effectiveness training and productivity tools, and Ninth House, Inc., the leader in organizational learning solutions for large scale behavior change, today announced the launch of its new online learning offering, The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People-Interactive Edition(TM). The new online training workshop is based on the bestselling book, The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People(R), authored by leadership development expert Stephen Covey. The book has sold more than 20 million copies worldwide and has been translated into 38 languages.

Named the #1 most influential business book of the 20th century by CEO magazine, the book enables readers to improve their individual and organizational effectiveness by helping them to envision and create successful lives. Ninth House has enhanced Stephen Covey's bestseller by using the book's concepts and principles to create an engaging online learning experience. This three-hour online training workshop offers actionable content, interactive activities, a Hollywood-style video drama, practical resources and tools and a Ninth House signature video simulation. An optional one-day classroom module is also available to reinforce the online learning and help participants to focus on specific applications of The 7 Habits(R) within their workplace.

In the online training workshop, The 7 Habits Interactive Edition(TM), a video-based story creates an emotional connection for the learner, provides complex behavior modeling and demonstrates the true nuances of human interaction. Learners are presented with interactive exercises and real-life simulations illustrating the concepts of each of The 7 Habits, helping the learner to practice them in their own lives.

"FranklinCovey is pleased to have worked with Ninth House to develop this online learning offering that will help to drive behavior change across organizations," said Bill Bennett, President, Organizational Solutions Business Unit, FranklinCovey. "After evaluating many learning solutions providers, we found that the unique approach and methodology from Ninth House fit perfectly with what FranklinCovey is hoping to accomplish by bringing The 7 Habits to a larger audience in yet another engaging way."
