Programs that don’t stick or scale despite strong initial rollout
The situation this course is for
Even well-intentioned learning initiatives fail when the underlying design lacks methodological depth, governance alignment, or evaluation rigor. Practitioners often rely on templates without mastering the framework decisions behind them, leading to inconsistent outcomes and wasted investment.
Who this is for
Senior learning and development leader shaping high-stakes capability programs in a global professional services environment
Who this is not for
Entry-level trainers, facilitators focused only on delivery, or HR generalists without program ownership
What you walk away with
- Final call on instructional design methodology without escalation
- Repeatable process for aligning learning objectives with control frameworks
- Stakeholder-specific roadmaps built from first principles, not templates
- Evaluation frameworks that prove impact beyond completion metrics
- Integrated governance workflows that prevent downstream rework
