If you've ever wished you could extend your L&D team's expertise, flex on demand or even create an L&D function from scratch in your business, Managed Learning Services may be just what you're looking for. Borrowing from the success of Managed IT Services, this approach combines strategic expertise, specialist skills and local support.

Why Traditional Approaches Don’t Always Cut It
Let’s start with the old-school options:
Building Internal Teams: Establishing or expanding your in-house Learning & Development team can be costly and time-consuming, not to mention, it can feel like you're chasing unicorns (but not in a good way).
Ad Hoc Outsourcing: Quick fixes can solve immediate problems, but let's be real - scoping work, writing business cases and sourcing quotes is another project when you're already busy.
That’s where Managed Learning Services come in, a new option for businesses looking to do more.
How Do Managed Learning Services Work?
Managed Learning Services provide your organisation with access to strategic advisory, coaching, learning design, eLearning development, learning technology support, administration and facilitation as part of a fixed monthly service package.
The package is tailored to your strategic goals, organisation size and existing expertise so you can manage your budget efficiently and flex up when you need to.
Why Businesses Are Making the Switch?
Things are moving fast in the capability development space, and businesses are making the switch to Managed Learning Services to either scale up Learning and Development services in small and medium-sized enterprises or to support existing teams through periods of change and transformation.
Here's why it makes sense:
Customised : Every organisation is unique, our Managed Learning Services are tailored to support your strategy, goals, culture, and vision.
Deep Expertise: Our team bring years of experience across diverse industries and specialist skills in strategy, learning technology and facilitation so we've got the know-how to tackle even the most complex L&D challenges.
A Local Team: Our local team are all based in Australia, and we partner with you to create outcomes that make a difference. We're also a lot of fun ;)
Cost-Effective: Managed Learning Services wrap up a team's worth of specialist expertise and packages start at less than you would pay for one early-career FTE, it's a perfect way to scale up or expand.
Scalable and Flexible: Need extra support for a one-off project? Managed services can grow with you and adapt to your changing needs.
At The Capability Alliance, we specialise in crafting tailored Managed Learning Services that deliver results. Let’s collaborate.
