The Learning Strategy Company ℠
RELEVANT RESULTS
What We Do
At Actio, we don’t just create learning. We solve performance challenges.
We start by defining and analyzing what success really looks like in key roles — especially when transformations (such as reorganizations, technology changes, new goals/strategies, or artificial intelligence) changes the game. From there, we design learning strategies and training that shift real behaviors and supports strategic outcomes.
Targeted, engaging content + realistic, whole-task practice
= results
WE FOLLOW SEVERAL PRINCIPLES:
Align to business goals
Focus on performance
Build performance incrementally
Gradually increase difficulty and complexity
Build authentic, whole-task practice
Provide effective feedback and support on the job
Follow learning research
PERFORMANCE CONSULTING
We help business and L&D leaders solve performance problems that block strategic progress. Whether you’re transforming through technology, realigning roles, or elevating talent to new expectations — we guide you from symptoms to root causes, and from insight to action.
Our performance consulting services comprehensively analyze your organization’s goals, existing competencies, knowledge, and skills and identify performance gaps. Our process blends business analysis, role clarity, and learning design — ensuring that solutions are focused, not fluffy.
LEARNING STRATEGY
Our learning strategies and custom training solutions deliver organizational value because they:
- Align and integrate the needs and goals of business leaders, L&D, and employees.
- Support your organization’s unique environment and learning ecosystem capabilities.
- Ensure job performance by accounting for the entirety of the employees’ knowledge, skills, and contexts.
Our learning strategies can be designed to support the entire enterprise, a function or role (where we often design a development map), or to address a targeted performance, competency, or skill gap.
MODALITIES
Choosing a modality is important but is not the first decision to make.
We select modalities based on your business goal, relevant metrics, an analysis of your performance goal and context, the capabilities of your learning ecosystem, and applicable learning research. We emphasize design decisions that support learning and performance.
With that backdrop, we determine which modalities best convey information, assess knowledge acquisition, enable discrete and whole-task practice, and provide support on the job.
ACTIO DESIGNS & BUILDS
BLENDED LEARNING
BECAUSE A HAMMER ISN’T THE BEST TOOL FOR ALL SITUATIONS
We love the challenge of engineering an effective blended learning solution. Finding the right design is like solving a multi-dimensional puzzle of business goals, learning ecosystem capabilities, performance context, audience needs, and instructional strategies.
Our expansive view of blended learning includes….
– Instruction (classroom, e-learning, structured coaching)
– Sources of information (resource repositories, job aids)
– Whole-task practice
– Performance support
– Methods of collaboration (social, communities of practice, etc.)
We understand the strengths and weaknesses of these modalities and how to design the blend that will be best for your situation.
