Learning Consultancy

Create sustainable and scalable learning pathways with measurable outcomes that drive performance.

We Take an Integrated Approach

For us, learning consultancy means being a trusted advisor to our clients. We draw upon our collective decades of experience across industries, working on a myriad of challenges, to facilitate Learning and Development (L&D) solutions that are meaningful, actionable and effective. Through deep listening and a blend of compassionate coaching, mentoring and creative problem solving, our highly experienced team will support and guide you to produce the most effective solution.


The best approach to Learning and Development first considers the wider strategic purpose: what are the organisation’s goals? How do the behaviours of the learners need to change to meet commercial objectives? 


To create the desired behaviours and outcomes, we have found that an integrated approach works best for the needs of the modern learner. The modern learner requires both informal and formal opportunities to not only learn new behaviours but also to embed and apply them successfully. 


That’s why our approach is purposefully blended: our methods incorporate:



Purposefully-Blended-Learning-and-Development

Independent study and personal reflection

Purposefully-Blended-Learning-and-Development

Face-to-face training

Purposefully-Blended-Learning-and-Development

Virtual classroom training

Purposefully-Blended-Learning-and-Development

Learning with peers, social and experience-based learning

Our learners can ‘learn metaphorically’ and apply and embed the learning ‘on the job’.


Provision for insights to be gathered, best practice to be shared, ad-hoc coaching and peer collaboration will lead to a much more 'adult-centred' approach whereby learners feel empowered to access the learning they need rather than being herded into a one-size-fits-all approach.

Discover Our Impact

In the 2020 Deloitte Global Human Capital Trends survey, 53% of the respondents said that between half and all of their workforce will need to change their skills and capabilities in the next few years. One reason for this is that economies are shifting from ‘production’ to ‘imagination’, a shift that increasingly requires capabilities such as ‘innovation, entrepreneurship and creativity’ as well as less quantifiable capabilities such as ‘critical thinking, emotional intelligence, and collaboration’. In the wake of the Covid-19 pandemic-generated recession, there is greater competition than ever to fill new roles while retaining employees. However, while 74% of organisations believe that re-skilling their workforce is important, only 10% say they are very ready to address this need. 

What Does a Purposefully Blended Consulting Service Look Like?

Purposefully-Blended-Learning-and-Development

1. Diagnose

Typically, our clients have approached us because they have had a specific need or because they have required our expertise to guide them through one or more Learning and Development-related challenges. 


In the majority of engagements, our work starts by conducting a needs analysis, truly understanding the problem that you need to solve, and identifying the behaviour that you are aspiring to. We may also include one of our evaluator diagnostic tools to give us baseline quantitative data.

3. Deliver

The delivery phase follows the diagnosis and design phases. 


Purposefully Blended’s unique, holistic approach to consulting engagements rapidly helps clients shift their perspective on an issue and their relationship to it so that compelling solutions emerge.


Our solutions don’t just focus on the ‘formal’ instructor-led interventions – we ensure they bring in social- and experience-based learning to truly embed new skills and behaviours.


Our focus on embedding behaviours and on First-Line Manager coaching means that we are always mindful of the all-important ‘handovers’ in the ‘end-to-end’ learning plan.

4. Review

In the review phase, all stakeholders are given the opportunity to ‘circle back’ to ensure that the measurable learning need has been met and the new behaviours are fully embedded into the organisation.


Ongoing relationships can take different forms. We may be asked to continue our support in the role of ‘retained advisor’ or our clients might leverage our expertise for specific initiatives and projects.

Purposefully Blended recently helped my company in developing some new immersive training in accessibility and neurodiversity for business.


The insights into learner engagement and use of digital and creative tools to enhance the impact of our training were invaluable... we cannot recommend Purposefully Blended highly enough.
