LEARNING THAT DRIVES BUSINESS GROWTH

We turn learning and development into a competitive advantage

In today's competitive landscape, learning and development isn't just a business function—it's a strategic advantage that drives growth and innovation. By treating learning as a strategic asset rather than a cost center, ecosystems that accelerate adaptation, improve performance, and enable efficient scaling are created. The result? Faster onboarding, better knowledge retention, reduced training costs, and improved alignment between learning initiatives and business goals.

Dr. Vanorsdale contracted to provide instructional design services for eighteen months.  Services included participating in subject matter expert interviews, helping the Technical Training Manager identify learning objectives, creation of curriculum, reviewing training materials, creation of training workbooks and critiquing training sessions.  Dr. Vanorsdale educated us about the function of an LMS, lead the procurement of the Learn 365 LMS, created structure for two courses and created e-learning SCORM files.  During the contract, Dr. Vanorsdale took the lead on creating the urgently needed [NSF 49/ ANSI] biosafety cabinet certification course.
