THE EMPTY LOT / LEARNING DEVELOPMENT
The Empty Lot designs leadership and workforce learning, develops the materials that make it usable, and supports teams through implementation. The result is a program people can apply and an organization can sustain.
WHAT A LEARNING PROGRAM NEEDS
Audience, work context, decisions, and capabilities.
Courses, scenarios, guides, and useful materials.
Facilitator preparation, launch support, and refinement.
Projects can begin with an idea, existing training that needs to improve, or a defined requirement ready for development.
Learning strategy, leadership development, curriculum design, and clear measures of application.
Workshops, eLearning, scenarios, facilitator guides, assessments, and job aids.
Pilots, facilitator enablement, learning-system alignment, launch planning, and iteration.
Learning has to fit the work around it—whether that work happens in an office, a clinical setting, a public agency, or the field. The Empty Lot works with stakeholders and subject-matter experts to make complex information teachable and usable.
Selected experience: Microsoft, Workday, Caterpillar, Mayo Clinic College of Medicine and Science, Defense Acquisition University, and the State of Colorado. Additional organizational experience spans education, healthcare, finance, energy, manufacturing, and technology.
