Comprehensive staff development programs can have a significant impact on your bottom line. A recent survey showed that companies who offer strong employee development programs have shareholder returns 8 time higher than companies who don’t. Of course, employee development means more than just sending people out to training, but figuring out what else to offer, when to offer it, and who should get it, is a big job. Making sure you provide sufficient budget is also critical, but that investment has to be justified and allocated in the best possible manner.

Cranial Expansion can help you determine where the needs are, what solutions will fit, and how to make it all a success. Our consultants are experts at finding the right mix of solutions for every organization, helping you produce winning programs everytime and getting the most out of every training dollar.

Our Strategic Consulting services focus on supporting you in three main areas:

• Needs Assessment – Our consultants understand your business and they know how to ask the right questions to find out exactly where the gaps are. We balance that information against your corporate objectives to create a prioritized gap list that’s detailed, actionable, and unbiased.
• Solution development – Addressing skills gaps is more than just planning training courses, but it can’t require a complete corporate restructuring either. Our consultants provide recommendations that make sense within the existing organizational culture and budget.
• Implementation – When it’s time to take action, we’re there to support you. We’ll assist with program development and management, get your people up to speed through knowledge sharing and coaching, and help you develop organizational self-sufficiency.
