Why LAAS
The Reality for Heads of Training & L&D
Every business unit needs something “urgent”: new onboarding, compliance updates, product refreshers, sales enablement, leadership development… but your internal team is already running at 120%.
You could use 10 more people, but headcount is frozen, budget is tight, and adding FTEs across design, tech, facilitation, and localization just isn’t realistic.
One vendor for eLearning, another for video, another for VR, a freelancer for PowerPoints, internal SMEs writing content in Word… and you’re the one stitching it all together.
You know what capabilities you need to build, and how training could support the business — but you spend most of your time chasing assets, approvals, and upload deadlines
You’re under pressure to roll out consistent, high-quality training across regions and languages—while dealing with local regulations, translations, and different learner expectations.
You have an LMS/LXP, maybe Articulate licenses, maybe even pilot AI tools—but no one has the bandwidth to truly exploit them.
LAAS exists to remove those constraints.
Our SME & Industry Consultant Network
These experts collaborate with our learning designers to:
Maps capabilities, skill paths, and critical behaviors to business outcomes, risk areas, and KPIs — so training isn’t just “content,” it’s a performance system.
Pain solved: Strategy finally drives production. You’re not just filling requests; you’re building a coherent capability roadmap.
Builds Best-in-Class Training at Scale
Custom eLearning in Articulate 360, video and motion design, software simulations, AI conversational role-plays, VR/AR experiences, and full ecosystems of job aids, playbooks, and certifications.
Pain solved: One partner for everything — from foundational compliance to cutting-edge simulations — without having to manage five different vendors.
These experts collaborate with our learning designers to:
LMS/LXP configuration and management, SCORM/xAPI publishing, localization, accessibility, analytics, and continuous optimization — all handled by us, not your already maxed-out L&D team.
Pain solved: Your platforms and programs actually run smoothly, without you becoming an LMS administrator on top of everything else.
- The capacity and expertise of a 10–15 person training team without adding headcount.
- A single strategic partner who understands your systems, your constraints, and your global footprint.
- A future-proof training engine — where new programs, regions, and formats plug into the same coherent architecture instead of becoming one-off projects.
Why trust our Learning Architects with your entire learning ecosystem?
Your Training Department’s Embedded Architecture Team
Most vendors sell “courses” or “content.”
LAAS gives you something different: an embedded learning architecture team that behaves like a dedicated extension of your L&D department.
Our strength isn’t just what we build — it’s who builds it.
Your Learning Architects are domain experts, storytellers, technologists, and designers working as one unit to:
- Transform strategy into training that actually changes performance
- Scale across formats (SCORM, video, VR/AR, AI simulations, software training) without extra headcount
- Keep quality, compliance, and brand standards intact in every region and language
Strategy First: The Best Way Forward for Your Learning Ecosystem
Because LAAS doesn’t just give you extra hands — it gives you a top-of-the-line strategy layer built from years of work with complex, global organizations.
We Diagnose the Whole Picture
Before we touch a storyboard, we take a strategic view of your learning landscape:
- Audit of current programs, platforms, and vendors
- Heat map of risk, compliance, and performance gaps by audience, role, and region
- Review of your KPIs, scorecards, and business priorities (revenue, safety, quality, retention, NPS, etc.)
- Analysis of what’s working, what’s underused, and what’s slowing you down
We Design a Best-in-Class Roadmap
From there, we help you decide what to build, in what order, and to what level of fidelity:
- 12–18 month learning roadmap tied directly to business outcomes
- Prioritized list of programs (e.g., onboarding → product → sales → leadership), with defined levels of investment
- Smart mix of formats: when to use quick microlearning vs. fully gamified modules vs. AI simulations vs. VR/AR
- Clear decisions on buy vs. build vs. adapt existing materials
We Engineer the Operating Model
Because you’re not looking for a one-off project — you’re looking for an engine.
We help you design the operating model that makes LAAS run smoothly inside your organization:
- Intake workflows for business requests (so your inbox isn’t the bottleneck)
- SLAs, service tiers, and governance (what gets built how, and why)
- Alignment with your LMS/LXP, HRIS, CRM, and compliance requirements
- A simple way for stakeholders to see what’s in the pipeline and what’s live
Benchmarked Against the Best in the Industry
Because we operate as a Learning As A Service provider across multiple industries, we:
- See firsthand what “great” looks like in pharma, fintech, heavy industry, tech, and services
- Know which innovations (AI role-plays, simulations, VR, microlearning, academies) actually work — and where they don’t
- Bring battle-tested patterns and playbooks to your roadmap so you don’t waste cycles reinventing the wheel
We Help You Build the Case (and the Budget)
Even the best strategy dies if it doesn’t survive budget season.
We actively help you make the internal case so you can secure the investment you need:
- Translate learning strategy into CFO-ready language: risk reduction, productivity, time-to-competency, cost of errors, revenue impact
- Model “do nothing” vs. “do this” scenarios with clear assumptions and projected impact
- Package your roadmap into executive-friendly decks that show priorities, trade-offs, and phased spend
- Turn early pilots and quick wins into evidence you can use to justify a larger, multi-year budget line
One Senior Project Manager, Not 12 Email Threads
You don’t need another week spent chasing vendors, designers, and developers.
With LAAS, you’re assigned a Senior Project Manager who acts as your:
- Single point of contact for everything — scope, timelines, risks, approvals, feedback
- Internal translator between you, SMEs, IT, legal, and our production teams
- Guardian of quality and consistency, making sure every asset reflects your standards and decisions
- Air traffic controller, consolidating updates, running status calls, and keeping everyone on the same page
Behind that Senior PM, you still get the full power of the LAAS team (LXDs, SMEs, technologists, designers, QA, AI engineers) — but you access it through one clear, accountable owner who knows your business and knows how to get things done.

How We Work With Your L&D Team
Our Process: Designing Your Training Journey
We start with your strategy, not just a topic list.
- Stakeholder and SME interviews
- Learner personas and needs analysis
- Mapping content to business outcomes, KPIs, and risk areas
Outcome: A clear, shared understanding of what must change in behavior and performance — and where training fits in.
Your Learning Architects turn insights into a concrete plan:
- Learning architecture and content outline
- Scenario and assessment design
- Voice, tone, and visual style guides
Outcome: A signed-off blueprint that defines the journey, formats, and success measures before production starts
We build in sprints so you see progress quickly and can course-correct early:
- Storyboarding and UX flows
- Design sprints across eLearning, video, software training, or AI simulations
- Structured pilot feedback loops and refinement
Outcome: Prototypes and simulations you can test with real learners, then refine before full rollout.
We don’t leave you at “publish”:
- LMS integration, SCORM/xAPI packaging, and roll-out coordination
- Localization, compliance checks, and accessibility (WCAG, captions, transcripts)
- Ongoing support, analytics, and continuous improvement cycles
Outcome: Deployed training that’s technically solid, globally scalable, and ready to support future waves of content without rebuilding from scratch.

Why LAAS Learning Architects vs Traditional Vendors?
- Embedded, not transactional – Our team behaves like your internal production arm, not a one-off project vendor.
- End-to-end coverage – From architecture and story to localization, software training, and AI simulations, you’re not stitching together multiple partners.
- Built for scale – Whether you’re supporting 1,000 or 60,000+ learners in multiple languages and formats, the same core team keeps your ecosystem coherent.
