Hi, I’m Alison.
I help organizations build learning strategies, programs, and infrastructure that support employees to work more productively and with clarity and confidence.
I’m passionate about building people-centered solutions to solving business challenges so that employees at every level, from recent grads to senior leaders, can show up with a clear understanding of what's expected of them and why it matters.
Let’s work together to create something that moves your people and your organization forward.
Organizational change happens through its people.
I take a solutions-oriented approach to my work, keeping your employees’ needs and organization’s culture at the center. We’ll work together to create learning systems that move beyond frameworks and focus on your continued success.
My Approach
-
Every project starts with listening to understand the specific context, challenges, and goals of your organization. This ensures that solutions are aligned with existing structures and strategies and resonate with the target audience.
-
Solutions are design with the employee in mind so that strategies and enablement tools have high engagement and fit seamlessly into the day-to-day. Employees will be a part of the design process to build confidence in and excitement for the change ahead.
-
Solutions are built with the end in mind, connecting back to your organizational goals and desired behavior change. I’ll partner with you to identify clear metrics and measurement to track change and effectiveness over time.

-
Start with clarity. We'll partner together to articulate your current state culture that will provide a foundation for future initiatives.
Why this matters: Sometimes organizational challenges are not as simple, or complex, as they seem. Taking time to get to the core of employee needs ensures that future initiatives are built to last.
How I can help: We’ll start by identifying a hypothesis for your organizational needs, and then I’ll conduct interviews, focus groups, surveys, and benchmarking research to dig deeper. I’ll share data analysis, findings, and recommendations to inform what comes next.
-
Turn vision into something people can act on. We’ll partner together to connect your goals to the org-wide culture and behaviors needed to achieve them.
Why this matters: For high-level strategic or cultural initiatives to be successful, behaviors and expectations need to embedded in the day-to-day so that employees can see how their work impacts organizational success.
How I can help: We’ll start by articulating the strategic or cultural change you’re working towards. From there, I’ll develop the tools— roadmaps, guiding principles, communications, enablement materials—to scaffold your change efforts over time.
-
Build employee capabilities. We’ll partner together to create systems and resources that allow employees to make an impact in their role.
Why it matters: Most of workplace learning happens on the job. Workdays are full, and providing employees with clear, navigable resources builds confidence and lowers the barrier to accessing learning and support.
How I can help: We’ll start by identifying the capabilities you want employees to develop. From there, I’ll design the systems and infrastructure that integrate into employees’ workflows to access the toolkits, resources, and enablement materials to support them on the job.
-
Build learning experiences that stick. We’ll partner together to develop experiences that drive behavior change across your organization.
Why this matters: Learning experiences, whether through programs or individual workshops, promote consistency and alignment. Thoughtful design ensures that employees don’t feel the burden of time away from their desk to participate in learning.
How I can help: We’ll start by identifying your learning need and audience. From there, I’ll develop multi-modal, interactive content that fits how the audience learns best, from asynchronous learning to interactive workshops.
