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

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.

- 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

- 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
