Learning & Training Audit
Empower every person with the right skills and capabilities to fulfill their role.
We bring our expertise and highlight deeply practical ways to improve
Our audits are based on your specific context and priorities
Your choice of individual role or organization-wide efforts
Overview
The effectiveness of every person in your team and organization determines results. Developing people to have the right skills and capabilities to fulfill their roles is critical today. Most leaders don't understand the learning and training needs and priorities of each role in their remit. Here, we create an independent view of your specific learning and training agenda and share recommendations.
Effective learning and training significantly enhances an organization’s ability to adapt to new challenges, drive innovation, and achieve strategic objectives. Companies that prioritize employee development make median revenue of $169,100 per employee, compared to only $82,800 per employee for those who don’t - a difference of more than half (2024).
Led by Rob, a seasoned expert with three decades of experience in global learning and development programs, this interactive audit equips leaders with powerful recommendations to maximize the value of the skills and capabilities needed in each role.
Rob's passion for helping individuals and teams achieve their full potential shines through in this hands-on experience, that includes options for smaller focus groups, a learning and development workshop, or a more traditional audit approach.
Drawing from his extensive background in people, process, and technology change programs, Rob guides participants through a proven framework that has consistently delivered results across various industries and organizational levels.
The outcome is an independent report with practical recommendations and fresh perspectives for one or many roles to assure accelerated and elevated success by targeting blind spots and proposing innovative learning solutions.

Key Learning & Development Audit Areas
One: Context As The Frame For Change
Understand your organization’s history, culture, and ways of working, along with the intent of the key roles from a business point of view
Two: Learning & Development Basics
Review the full learning and development/training lifecycle for each role. This covers core training needs topics such as role requirements, the learning matrix, development plan (planning, preparation, delivery, measurement, and other phases), the assessment of the organization’s current state, the desired future state, and the roadmap to bridge the gap between the two. An effective learning and development assessment details the organization’s readiness to execute on each role and identifies roadblocks to success
Three: People Move Mountains
So critically important, we call out key roles as a separate focus area, and review the roles, expected and actual engagement of priority audiences, plus identify areas of resistance and the causes therein. For critical stakeholder groups, we identify potential actions to bring about critical shifts in learning and development
Four: Increasing Capability
To uplevel role capabilities and manage resistance, we propose effective outreach, engagement, and involvement strategies, while assuring monitoring mechanisms are in place to enable successful implementation. Key levers in this space will include reviews of coaching, training, development, and other initiatives to assure success, and the identification of solutions to meet the specific needs
Five: Practical Recommendations
Create a heat map showing the critical prerequisites for effective learning and development strategies, with recommendations to enhance the success of the program of work and maximize the return on investment. Identify learning and development maturity (current and potential). The audit findings serve as a basis for developing corrective actions and improving the overall learning and development strategy
Six: Implementation Support (Optional)
Where applicable and available, offer implementation support for the recommendations or a Train The Trainer-style experience to support your colleagues in their efforts
