Nice To Haves

Lead learning engagements through analysis, not assumptions. You know how to independently conduct a learning and performance analysis—clarifying business goals, identifying performance gaps, determining root causes, and defining success measures before solutions are proposed.
Bring deep learning expertise to the table. You understand adult learning principles, instructional strategies, and performance support methods—and can apply them intentionally rather than by default.
Recommend solutions, not just execute requests. You are comfortable pushing back when training isn’t the answer and confidently recommending alternative or blended solutions (e.g., performance support, job aids, process changes, coaching) with a clear rationale.
Operate as a trusted advisor to leaders. You ask strong diagnostic questions, challenge assumptions respectfully, and guide stakeholders to informed decisions using data, experience, and L&D best practices.
Design for performance impact. You focus on how people actually work and ensure learning solutions are practical, applicable, and aligned to measurable business outcomes.
Own work from end to end. You can take an initiative from analysis through implementation and evaluation with minimal direction, managing ambiguity, timelines, and stakeholder expectations effectively.
Maintain high standards. You evaluate effectiveness, learn from results, and continuously refine your approach to improve future recommendations and outcomes.
