Independent Learning & Development Advice
Training your people... but not seeing the results?
Your business has grown. Has your workplace learning kept up? Discover whether it is building capable people, strengthening compliance and improving performance.
The real issue
Most organisations do not have a training problem. They have a learning problem.
Training is happening, but nobody has stepped back to ask whether it is consistent, evidenced or improving performance.
Onboarding varies from team to team.
Compliance is becoming harder to evidence.
Training happens. Performance does not always improve.
The methodology
A structured way to improve workplace learning.
The Four D Learning Audit helps you understand what is happening before deciding what needs to change.
Discover
Review what exists, listen to your people and understand how learning currently happens.
Diagnose
Identify gaps, risk, inconsistency and the issues affecting competence and performance.
Design
Create a practical, prioritised learning plan aligned with the needs of the organisation.
Deliver
Implement the right support rather than purchasing another predetermined solution.
Start without a sales call

Questions leaders are already asking
Could your organisation answer these confidently?
How do we know whether our workplace learning is actually working?
Attendance and completion prove that training took place. They do not prove competence, consistency or improved performance.
Why are different managers getting different results?
Managers often develop their own methods because there is no shared learning approach.
Could compliance become a risk?
Compliance is not just having certificates on file. You need credible evidence that people understood and can apply what they learned.
Are we wasting money on training people quickly forget?
The aim is not to buy more training, but to identify what is genuinely needed and improve how learning transfers into everyday work.
What should we improve first?
The audit creates a practical order of priority so the organisation can address the highest-value or highest-risk issues first.

The thinking underneath the audit
The 10% Rule
Most organisations do not need to rebuild everything. They need to identify the small but critical improvements that unlock the other 90%.
“The best learning strategies do not begin with another course. They begin by understanding what is really happening.”Marianne Mills
Diagnosis before prescription
Where the audit might lead...
Recommendations are based on what the organisation needs, not on a predetermined course catalogue.

Train the Trainer
If internal trainers need to make learning more engaging, memorable and effective.
Award in Education & Training
If recognised development and stronger foundations in teaching are required.
Learning Strategy
If learning has developed reactively and the organisation needs a practical roadmap.
Quality Assurance
If evidence, assessment or internal quality processes need strengthening.
Ongoing L&D Advice
If leaders need practical expertise without employing a full-time L&D professional.
Meet Marianne
Learning advice grounded in real delivery.
I help organisations understand what their people need to learn before recommending how they should learn it.
I developed The Four D Learning Audit because too many organisations invest in more training before understanding the real problem.
My role is not to sell another course. It is to help organisations make better learning decisions, evidence competence and strengthen compliance.
