L&D Organizational Function

Building a Learning and Development team within an organization requires strategy and planning. SLI supports this process with one of three models:

  • Fully outsourced. SLI functions as the L&D organization, seamlessly maintaining communication and relationships in such a way as to appear as a fully functional part of the organization.
  • Staffing. SLI staffs L&D positions inside of a corporate L&D organization.
  • Consulting and planning. SLI assists in planning and building an L&D organization, or helps compare the advantages of an internal L&D function with a fully outsource model.

L&D Administration
