Instructional Design Consulting by LSA Global

“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 training 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 to help learners get to where they need to be in terms of new skills, knowledge, and attitudes.

Instructional Design Consulting Services That Drive Measurable Business 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 other approaches. 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.

FAQs

LSA Global combines research-backed instructional design best practices with a business-results focus. Rather than delivering generic “one-size-fits-all” training, solutions are customized to align with your culture, strategic priorities, learner needs, and desired performance outcomes. The approach emphasizes faster implementation, measurable behavior change, and practical application to improve both learner engagement and business impact.

The Train-the-Trainer program helps facilitators move beyond lectures to create interactive, high-retention learning experiences.

Yes. Every instructional design engagement is tailored to your organization’s unique business goals, culture, leadership expectations, and learner challenges. LSA Global works across industries including technology, life sciences, professional services, and manufacturing to create customized learning solutions that are relevant, scalable, and aligned with measurable business objectives.

Organizations that need to accelerate onboarding, improve leadership effectiveness, increase sales performance, strengthen facilitation capabilities, or drive lasting behavior change benefit most. These services are especially valuable for companies undergoing growth, transformation, curriculum redesign, or large-scale capability-building initiatives where learning effectiveness directly impacts business performance.

LSA Global designs learning experiences around real-world application, active participation, accountability, reflection, reinforcement, and measurable outcomes.
