Learning Strategy

What is learning strategy?

Whether you already have learning programs in place or you are new to organizational learning and development activities, identifying a clear path toward success and the elements that you need to have in place makes all the difference in establishing a successful learning strategy for your organization. Developing a learning strategy is as much art as science. When done right, your learning strategy will impact employee engagement and drive overall organizational performance.

Recommended if you have existing learning programs and now is the time to align them with a holistic learning strategy, or if you want to develop a strategic, consistent foundation within which to house your learning initiatives.

What are the benefits?

  • Holistic strategies for learning inside your organization that sit above any one learning program
  • Learning that is tied to specific job roles and skills needed, and ensures that your employees learn exactly what they need to learn to do their jobs well
  • Aligning and integrating learning programs to support career paths, tie to performance management, and measure against organizational objectives
  • Reduced risk of creating individual learning programs that aren’t connected to organizational priorities or key competencies

How do we work?

  • Start by clarifying your desired outcomes, understanding your learning needs, and then proposing innovative, engaging strategies from simple to robust to meet those needs
  • Bring experienced, knowledgeable learning experts to every project – we match the project needs to our team’s expertise
  • Complement and extend your internal resources and work alongside your team, or provide complete outsourced support to develop a learning strategy
  • Provide a spectrum of services as needed — learning needs assessments, competency and skills mapping, creating “educational ecosystems” that graphically illustrate your organization’s learning, integrating employee competencies to performance management processes
  • Support implementation and communication of the learning strategy to critical stakeholders, or we can hand off the implementation to your internal team
  • Offer best practice models, examples, and prototypes for you to consider

“[This work] gave us a foundation for moving forward with our education. The organization has been around for over 80 years. We’ve grown like a lot of organizations do based on the needs at the time. Our courses were written based on an observed need and grew from that. What you just delivered gave us a three-year jump on our competition – worth its weight in gold.”

Learning Program Development

What is learning program development?

Learning inside your organization is happening every day. According to the 70-20-10 model for learning, 70% of all learning takes place on-the-job from everyday experiences, 20% comes from observing and mentoring others, and 10% happens in formal training experiences. Effective design and development applies just the right blend of all learning to meet participant needs, whether that be formal classroom-based learning, just-in-time access to resources, on-the-job learning, eLearning, or self-directed learning opportunities.

Recommended if you need to enhance the managerial or functional skills of your employees, onboard new hires, educate employees on a new process or system, or develop skills in a new area to accelerate your workforce.

What are the benefits?

  • Improved skills development from learning programs that translate to greater productivity and a more successful workforce
  • Engaging, innovative approaches to your learning needs that “wow” your participants
  • Increased satisfaction from learners who move through a variety of learning formats that accommodate their learning styles
  • Increased buy-in from sponsors and stakeholders who are engaged at critical touch points during the design/development process
  • Reduced risk from developing learning programs that don’t drive improved performance
  • Peace of mind knowing that your learning program will be delivered on time and on budget and will provide powerful outcomes for the participants

How do we work?

  • Employ a proven, streamlined methodology to identify specific learning objectives, design a blueprint for the program, and then develop the content
  • Collaboratively review the learning design and determine the right learning interventions and delivery to meet your participants’ needs as well as your organizational needs
  • Build a blend of self-directed, scheduled, and just-in-time activities to create a powerful learning path
  • Bring an experienced team to the table based on the type of course needed
  • Provide top-of-the-line project management and quality assurance services so you can rest easy

[Their] level of attentiveness to client needs is higher than most – they have a clear dedication to the client and service. We now have a comprehensive and updated program that is integrated across three delivery types… When the products launch, we expect improved customer satisfaction, improved outcomes, and increased product sales and revenue.”

eLearning and Mobile Learning

What is eLearning and Mobile Learning?

Today’s learning environment requires flexible learning delivery, including online and mobile learning programs that participants can access anytime, anywhere. Effective online learning must engage the audience, provide just the right activities, allow for interaction with the online content, and be completely accessible and useful even on a mobile device.

Recommended if you are ready to upgrade your current learning programs, are seeking innovative, engaging, and user-friendly online learning modules, or if you want to showcase cutting-edge learning in your organization.

What are the benefits?

  • Best-in-class eLearning and mobile learning experience
  • Engaging, interactive online learning micro-bytes and longer programs that inspire your participants and keep them coming back for more
  • Integrated assessments, case studies, scenario-based activities, and other interactive elements that extend the learning and provide a rich experience for the online participant
  • Blended learning experiences that include eLearning and/or mobile learning when it makes sense as a part of larger learning programs that may also include classroom-based learning, on-the-job resources, and informal learning interactions
  • Reduce the risk associated with complex learning initiatives by engaging an experienced partner

How do we work?

  • Start with the end in mind and collaboratively determine your learning outcomes – and then recommend the best delivery to meet those outcomes
  • Find the right eLearning or mobile learning platform that works for your organization; we are technology-agnostic
  • Employ a rigorous learning design process, so you know how the eLearning experience and elements will work for your learners before we begin production
  • Build engaging, world-class online interactions – whether it be scenario-based problems, games, animated videos, avatars, etc. – with visuals designed to create a memorable learning experience
  • Provide top-of-the-line project management and quality assurance services so you can rest easy
