Who We Are

Promise & Differentiation

Created by clients for clients.

LSA Global was founded in 1995 by Sally Ewald as Learning Solutions Alliance to help clients to succeed.

The LSA Promise and Pay for Performance Guarantee

Client results and relationships are our center of gravity.  We roll up our sleeves to make a meaningful impact on the people AND the business of companies by identifying and acting upon the strategy, culture, and talent leverage points that matter most.  We have and unwavering conviction to authenticity, transparency, and trust.

We work with outcome-oriented Business Executives and HR Leaders who are stretched thin or want help to take performance to the next level.

We provide a performance guarantee that puts us in the same boat as our clients as trusted advisors with our client’s best interests at heart.

The LSA Way

To deliver on our promise, we strive to help clients Get Aligned and Stay Aligned™ by:

  • Adding measurable business value to our clients in everything we do
  • Helping our clients better manage the complexity and integration associated with multiple demands
  • Creating strong Company-to-Company relationships focused on helping our clients to succeed
  • Understanding what matters most to our clients, their company, and their industry
  • Going above and beyond what our clients expect

The LSA Difference

Our clients tell us that a few things clearly set us apart:

  • Our Strategic and Practical Approach Gets Better Results
    Our research-backed methodology allows us to identify what matter most to the people and to the business.

    This allows our clients to make smarter investments, create higher levels of commitment, and move faster with fewer setbacks.

  • Our Business Model Provides More Expertise, Flexibility, and Speed
    Our elite network of experts allows our clients to extend their team and gain better access to resources not typically available to small and mid-market companies.

    This allows our clients to save more time, money, and headaches.

  • Our Pay for Performance Guarantee Puts Us In the Same Boat as Our Clients
    Because our success is measured by the success of our clients, we speak the truth and have our clients’ best interests at heart as their trusted partner.

    This allows our clients to mitigate risk and increase confidence in getting results in way that makes sense.

Our Team

Strategy, culture, and talent experts passionate about making a difference

LSA’s experts provide our clients with unequaled access to consulting, coaching, and training expertise in the areas of sales, leadership, management, change, customer service, and project management.  Our teams have “been there and done that.”  Our success is measured by the success of our clients.

Our Guarantee

Pay for Performance.  It is that simple.

We are fiercely devoted to the success of our clients and guarantee results. We stand behind our work.

Human capital consulting and training firms avoid a pay-for-performance approach because they are afraid of the risks it presents for their business.  But at LSA, we welcome the opportunity. A pay-for-performance approach allows us to truly partner with our clients in a way that reduces the risk for our clients.

A pay-for-performance approach also allows us to  focus 100% on delivering measurable and relevant value to our clients' business.  In fact, the pay-for-performance mindset is what gets us out of bed in the morning.  We are all about helping our clients succeed personally and professionally.

We do not push products or just sell stuff to make money.  We do not hide behind potential variables out of our control.  We do not debate who added what level of value.

We DO honestly, relentlessly, and selflessly partner with our clients to identify and move metrics that make a difference.  We do make meaningful and important things happen in a way that works for our clients, their strategy, and their culture.

We believe this puts us in a position to more effectively help our clients to succeed.  It also aligns with our mission of "Creating a Competitive Advantage through Alignment" and our corporate value of "Being Client-Centric and Making a Difference in Our Client’s Business."

We live this mission.  Just ask our clients.  We put them first, use world-class experts, ask the tough questions, think systemically, and try to link everything we do to meaningful personal and professional success metrics.

Typical pay-for-performance client metrics that we move include:

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.

They immediately helped us to improve our ability to continue to hire top talent that fits our culture and talent management strategy as we rapidly scale.  Thank you!

We selected LSA Global over 5 other companies to help our key executives improve their overall communication and executive presentation capabilities. LSA exceeded our expectations.

I highly recommend LSA to any executive team looking to better organize and more effectively deliver key executive-level messages — especially when the stakes are high.

Todd Power
Office of the CEO

We recently hired LSA to help us take our client delivery methodology to the next level as we continue to grow and help our clients succeed.

The custom strategy and design session exceeded our expectations. They really understood our business and delivered within tight time frames. They were the best I have seen for this type of complex, visible, and strategic work.

LSA’s ability to get a group of 20+ executives from around the globe on the same page, push their thinking to new heights, and ensure an executable plan was excellent.

I would recommend LSA to anyone looking to take their strategy and strategic execution to the next level.

We reviewed the top Leadership Development offerings and selected LSA’s 12-month Leadership Program based upon the value and systemic approach.

The feedback on the program, approach, and results was phenomenal. While other programs may be better known, the other options were more theoretical and did not compare in terms of LSA’s practicality, quality, and results.

We could not be happier.

LSA Global really shifted our perspective about strategic clarity and organizational culture.

The 3 C’s approach to workplace culture is very practical and really helps  executive teams – even skeptical ones – ensure that your culture is healthy, high performing, and aligned.

LSA’s ability to assess needs and develop targeted  leadership training has been a critical resource for me to help our teams to perform at their peak. 

I love that LSA focuses on training that truly makes a meaningful impact on the people and the business.

Noelle VanVlierbergen
Sr. HR Business Partner

As a high growth agency with cutting edge talent, we hired LSA Global to help clarify our strategy and work with our executive leadership team to help implement strategic changes in a way that made sense for our unique culture.

The work was so successful that we also hired them to coach our key leaders. LSA has been instrumental in helping us transition to a new leadership team and triple revenue.  In this age of useless consultants, I highly recommend their practical and business-oriented approach to strategy, culture, and talent.

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 selected LSA over a handful of other experts to assist with a key sales leadership imperative. LSA added value every step of the way throughout the entire engagement. Their customized approach to sales presentation training exceeded expectations, and we are excited about global implementation across our offices in more than 100 countries.

LSA’s unique Strategy-to-Results approach is an added game changer.  I recommend them to anyone looking to get high quality results when it matters most.

We hired LSA to design and deliver a Project Post Mortem for sixty five key people on a mission critical project with a very tight turnaround. LSA’s ability to identify the key trends, leverage points, and next steps was remarkable.

They really got to the heart of the issues in a constructive and unbiased manner that exceeded our expectations.

It was not an easy task with so many skeptical people with different agendas, styles, experience, and perspectives.  But they nailed it.  Thank you!

Crystal Dynamics

The LSA customized Organizational Alignment Survey gave us a comprehensive view of how our employees experience our culture, talent, and strategy.

The systemic approach provided us with a great forum to discuss the strengths and opportunities in our organization, and then to quickly get focused on the key actions critical to executing our business and people strategies.

Mark Forrest

We partnered with LSA to help custom design, deliver, and measure an advanced new employee on-boarding process. It was well thought out and bought into by sales leadership.  The combination of targeted sales tools, technology, coaching, performance plans, training, and reinforcement made all the difference.  The solution quantifiably improved new employee and hiring manager satisfaction and increased the speed to sales quota for new hires.

I would highly recommend LSA Global for any sales enablement team looking to increase the engagement and speed to productivity of their sales force. We are excited to implement the program globally as we continue to scale.

Rochana Golani
Director, Global Sales & Technical Field Enablement

This was an extremely effective executive strategy session that helped our executive leadership team efficiently navigate through our core strategic objectives. It was exactly what we needed.  The approach was practical and valuable for our specific business and market.

I recommend LSA to anyone looking to push their strategic planning, thinking, and growth to the next level.

Blake Krikorian

Thank you! Your learning strategy 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 development program redesign, but it also was like a mini executive seminar that stretched our experienced L&D team’s thinking.
