Proposal: Strategic Rightsizing & Optimization of the L&D Function

This proposal was developed for a leadership team seeking to evaluate, rightsize, and enhance their Learning & Development function. It provides a clear, actionable roadmap to assess current team capabilities, identify gaps and opportunities, and align L&D resources with organizational goals. Designed to support informed decision-making, the document outlines strategic options, recommended next steps, and a vision for a more agile, impactful L&D organization.

Strategy-on-a-Page Facilitation

This exercise helps leaders and teams distill complex strategies into a single, powerful page that drives clarity, alignment, and action. Through a guided process, we define the organization’s strategy statement, assess the current state, and articulate a compelling future vision. Together, we identify top company objectives, team-level priorities, and the five key initiatives that will move the strategy forward. We also surface the team’s underlying beliefs, assumptions, and known risk factors—ensuring that the strategy is not only clear, but grounded in reality. The result is a concise, actionable roadmap that empowers teams to communicate with confidence and lead with purpose.

Two multi-phase leadership development programs were designed and delivered to strengthen leadership capability and align with strategic business goals. The initiative spanned concept development through full execution. Cross-functional collaboration with instructional designers, change managers, and subject matter experts ensured a cohesive and targeted learning experience. Program oversight included timeline and deliverable management, stakeholder coordination, and executive-level reporting to maintain sponsor engagement throughout the lifecycle.
