L&D Function Redesign · Strategic Consulting
Most L&D operating models predate generative AI. They are quietly breaking.
I work with CHROs and Chief Learning Officers whose L&D function is being asked to do a fundamentally different job — and whose operating model, content library, vendor stack, and team structure were all built for the old one. The redesign is rarely about more tools.

Work with Robert
Three modes of engagement.
Each is built on twenty years inside L&D and eight years building the AI-native tools the function now needs. Each begins with the same conversation.
- 01
Operating-model redesign.
A working engagement with the L&D leadership team to redesign the function: from content delivery to capability production. New shape of work, new vendor stack, new role definitions, new measurement.
For: CHROs · CLOs · L&D leadership teams
- 02
Capability strategy.
What capability your organization needs to manufacture in the next 18 months — at which seniority, with what cadence — and the architecture that produces it. Built around the PolyCognitive Leadership framework as the diagnostic.
For: Heads of L&D · Capability directors
- 03
L&D advisory retainer.
Ongoing strategic advisory for an L&D function navigating its rebuild. Direct access to Robert; small number of clients at a time. Designed to be the relationship, not the report.
For: CLOs · CHROs
“L&D used to be a content problem. It's becoming a judgment problem. Most operating models haven't caught up.”
