Welcome

At Learning Anorak, we are of the view that staff members are adults who should be treated as such when in comes to their professional development. We believe in empowerment and enablement rather than in 'sheep dip training'. We provide consultancy support to help you create a learning environment that empowers the individual to take ownership of his/her own learning.

In this day and age, a learning and development (L&D) department that seeks to provide all learning solutions within the organisation is going to have to sprint just to stay in the same place. We can suggest ways to help you stay ahead of the curve by leveraging free resources which take learning to the individual's point of need, without disrupting the flow of business as usual: 'just in time' learning as opposed to 'just in case' training.

In the final analysis, L&D is about change. We've all heard that people are resistant to change. In fact, people embrace change (they get married, buy new cars, move house, take overseas holidays, etc.). What they resist is being changed. We will work with you to find a way to put your people in the driver's seat of their own change process.

Our Approach

Our goal, going into any new situation is to work ourselves out of a job. We all know how it feels to have some highly paid consultant come in and say what you've been saying for years, only no-one was listening. We listen. We ask a lot of questions. We find out what has been done before. What worked. What didn't. Why it didn't work.

We find out where you want to be and what stands between that goal and where you are now. We help you identify the barriers and explore ways of overcoming them. We like to see our role as one of empowerment, and it is our greatest delight to reach the point where you no longer need us!

Often, the skills that you need to achieve your organisational goals already exist within the business. Our job is to draw these out and bring them together. We find out who the ideas people are within the organisation and bring them to the attention of the decision-makers. We work closely with them to develop a learning and development strategy that can truly be owned by the business - your business. So that you can get on with what it is that you do.
