Our
Solutions

Strategy
In the Strategy development phase, we take a deep dive into your current programs, meticulously assessing every aspect to identify pain points and opportunities for improvement. We work closely with your team to understand your specific goals, challenges, and organizational culture. I like to say that I, "lead with listening" in this phase. Then, based on this comprehensive assessment, we collaborate with you to craft a customized strategy that aligns with your business objectives. The focus is on designing a solution that is not only innovative but also practical and tailored to meet your unique needs, ensuring that the foundation for success is solidly established.
Execution
Once the strategy is in place, and all are in alignment on the direction, the Execution phase begins. Here, we work hand-in-hand with your team to implement the tailored strategy, ensuring that every aspect of the plan is carried out effectively and efficiently. Our approach to execution is highly collaborative and adaptive, allowing us to fine-tune processes in real-time to meet your evolving needs. You may still be working toward getting all the right people in the right places. We will work with the team you have...providing recommendations. We provide continuous support throughout this phase, guiding you through any challenges and ensuring that the strategy translates into tangible, measurable results. Our goal is to see your organization succeed, with a program that not only meets but exceeds your expectations.
"It’s all about listening (not assuming) and customizing the solution."
Here are a few comments about Lawana's work
As long as I have known Lawana, she has had a curious and perceptive mind. She is a THINKER. She demonstrated that she was creative and innovative in accomplishing multiple training objectives. She designed an entirely new training environment that not only spoke to the needs of managers and directors in the field and information that they needed their staff to get while in Orientation but Lawana based the entire model on adult learning theories so the environment is highly interactive and it is clear that the student/orientee is who she had in mind.

Having worked with many other consultants, I chose Ms. Shipley and Onboarding Pros Consulting because she truly listened to our leadership team, asked insightful follow-up questions, and took the time to meet with smaller groups and individuals before delivering her comprehensive, detailed assessment. She demonstrated a deep understanding of Learning and Development and as a new start-up, that experience and her guidance in navigating potential pitfalls was invaluable.
Roderick Cheatham CEO , The Talent Development Company
Lawana is both a big picture thinker who “gets” how all projects fit together but she also can deep dive into a training, fine tune it and make sure that it produces the best results. She always comes through on delivering quality, not just for the program but for the organization.
