Instructional Design Consulting that Works

“I continue to be impressed by the level of instructional design consulting, overall expertise, and quality of facilitation that LSA has to offer.

What an impressive group of great consultants that really focus on our needs.”
Tracy Esposito | HR & Training Manager | Sony

“We engaged with LSA Global to share best practices around Rapid Instructional Design and to develop, design and deliver an education session that taught our property owners the benefits of our Customer Loyalty program.

We found LSA Global’s team to be collaborative, insightful, prepared, and nimble, especially given that the time frame for the project became compressed. We look forward to continuing our strategic partnership.”
Annmarie Fairweather | VP Brand Service | Wyndham Hotels

“Thank you for the facilitation. Your insights flipped our approach from a content-driven design to one where business strategy and relevancy drives the leadership programs we aimed to redesign.

This investment more than proved its worth – not only did it improve our leadership program redesign but also it was like a mini-seminar that stretched our L&D team’s thinking.”
Richard Morse | Senior Director Talent Development | Gilead Sciences

While there are many proven off-the-shelf learning solutions, we find that more and more clients are turning away from “what everyone else can get.”

They are leaning toward integrated offerings, custom designed solutions, and personalized implementations based upon instructional design best practices, preferred content, and targeted business outcomes.

Surprising to some, this approach can consistently lead to decreased costs (no licensing fees), higher quality (performance test-based), and faster implementations (weeks not months).

Our instructional design consulting solutions are a function of proven research-based methodologies, templates, and tools that focus on learning activities and desired performance results.

Because of this unique approach, our instructional design consulting solutions consistently result in the design of learning solutions faster, better, and therefore cheaper than our competitors. Our success is based upon the following tested principles:

Continuous design that uses multiple resources and modalities
Concurrent design that simultaneously conducts analysis, design, implementation, evaluation, and revision
Creative design that requires and rewards learners to think innovatively based on a “performance test” which participants master
Co-design that requires learners to take on the roles of subject matter experts, trainers, teachers, and evaluators

LSA offers a customized onsite Instructional Design workshop in support of our consulting services and train-the-trainer (T3) workshops to help increase facilitation skills.

This investment more than proved its worth – not only did it improve our leadership development program redesign, but it also was like a mini executive seminar that stretched our experienced L&D team’s thinking.

Richard Morse
Senior Director Talent Management

Having a training outsourcing partner like LSA to support our talent management needs has been a real blessing. In an emerging company where typically you can’t afford the infrastructure necessary to provide a full range of offerings, having an external partner like LSA has been a blessing.

They deeply understand our business and our culture. They do a great job on a wide range of customized training, consulting, and coaching solutions for us.

For us, they are definitely better than having our own internal Training and Organizational Development function. They always do what it takes to hit the mark.

Chris Wells
Vice President, HR and IT

We turned to LSA Global to help take our behavioral interviewing process to the next level in terms of both efficiency and effectiveness. LSA quickly understood our unique culture and challenging requirements.
