Strategic Learning & Development – On Your Terms

Transform Your Training Function Without Full-Time Commitment

As a Fractional Training Director, I provide senior-level learning and development expertise to organisations who need strategic learning & training leadership but don’t require (or can’t justify) a full-time director-level position. I work alongside your team to evaluate, design, and deliver impactful training solutions that drive measurable business results.

Why should you consider this service?

Cost-Effective

Access director-level expertise at a fraction of the cost of a full-time hire… with no recruitment fees, no benefits packages, no overhead. You pay only for the time and value you need.

Experience & Expertise

I bring years of experience across multiple sectors, training methodologies and organisational contexts. My work is grounded in evidence-based practice, adult learning theory and proven frameworks like Everything DiSC and The Five Behaviors.

Strategic + Practical

I don’t just create strategy documents – I roll up my sleeves and deliver. From facilitating workshops to building workbooks to configuring LMS platforms, I provide end-to-end support.

Business-Focused

Training is a means to an end. I focus relentlessly on business outcomes – improved performance, increased productivity, better retention, stronger leadership, enhanced customer satisfaction – and design training to deliver measurable results.

Flexible & Scalable

Your needs will change over time. My fractional approach means you can increase or decrease my involvement as your business evolves, without the complications of employment contracts.

Core Services

Training Systems & Process Evaluation

II conduct comprehensive audits of your current training infrastructure to identify strengths, weaknesses and opportunities for improvement.

That usually includes a mix of:

  • Learning Management Systems (LMS) – Platform effectiveness, user adoption, content quality
  • Training Delivery Methods – Classroom, virtual, blended, on-demand effectiveness
  • Compliance & Tracking – Regulatory requirements, completion rates, record-keeping
  • Resource Allocation – Budget utilisation, trainer capability, material quality
  • Performance Measurement – ROI frameworks, Kirkpatrick evaluation, business impact metrics
  • Technology Integration – Training tools, platforms, and digital adoption
Knowledge Gap Analysis

Identifying where learning is not meeting organisational needs is critical to effective training strategy.

My approach:

  • Needs Assessment – Stakeholder interviews, surveys, performance data analysis
  • Competency Mapping – Role-specific skills requirements versus current capability
  • Business Alignment – Ensuring training supports strategic objectives and KPIs
  • Root Cause Analysis – Distinguishing genuine skill gaps from process or system issues
  • Future-State Planning – Anticipating capability requirements for growth and change

I create professional, engaging training materials tailored to your organisation’s brand, culture, and learning objectives.
