How to Build an L&D Strategy


Targeted plan

Can’t do it alone?  We get by with a little help……


Sometimes it is difficult to create a strategic plan for your organization, because you are just too close to it. It may be difficult to take a fresh look in an objective way to create a viable and realistic strategic plan. When choosing a vendor or a consultant to help you create a strategy, here are the top things to look for:


A strategic consulting firm should:     

  • Understand your business and the key driving forces that are present.

  • Know how to surface and articulate the issues present and help people address them.

  • Bring expertise and experience from working with a range of companies across multiple industries.

  • Be skilled at techniques for generating new, creative, innovative ideas.

  • Balance insight and empathy with authority and credibility.

  • Are experienced in running a wide range of meetings and strategic planning processes/events.

  • Have a good reputation with previous clients.

  • Help people address and work through conflicts, obstacles and challenges.

  • Be able to clarify your desired outcomes to ensure that a common vision is shared by all participants.

  • Share your commitment to reaching your desired outcomes.

  • Be honest and fair to make a clear distinction between opinions and facts.

  • Commit to meeting deadlines and producing results.

  • Communicate well, which sometimes means challenging others respectfully.

  • Have a style that suits your organization.

  • Have reasonable rates, measured against our competitors and the market.
