Transform Your Organisational Learning

"When I started, we lacked a unified approach to learning and development, and the gaps were clear. Michelle’s support gave us a structured way to engage stakeholders, prioritise our efforts, and build a strategy that maximised what we already had rather than needing significant new investment. The process not only created a robust learning strategy but also helped us foster buy-in across the organisation and set the stage for meaningful, sustainable change."

Learning Uncut supported us to develop, launch and embed a nationally recognised organisational learning strategy which one year on is showing impressive impact across all focus areas and clear progression on the journey to realising our vision.

Learning Uncut upskilled our project team in research, project management and stakeholder engagement in such a way that team members have adopted these methods to progress other projects. This represented excellent value for money, and an outstanding example of consultants building public sector capability in a sustainable way.

The L&D Strategy Builder is a fabulous system with amazing resources that provide a step-by-step guide to develop a strategy. The experience that Michelle has and the value that we received from the coaching sessions was really great.

The structure of the Strategy Builder process is great. The templates are valuable, but I can’t imagine doing this without Learning Uncut’s expert coaching. Having an external perspective to bounce things off has been really valuable.

The support I’ve received from Learning Uncut has been unreal. The templates are comprehensive and walk you through step by step, and we feel that we are developing our Learning Strategy at our own, comfortable rate. We’ve also found the extra mentoring invaluable.

"Michelle is a fabulous operator and a skilled learning strategist. Michelle was a pleasure to work with. She worked in relationship and in partnership with me to deliver a professional learning series of workshops for a diverse network of L&D practitioners. The Capability program was highly relevant and useful for individual working contexts. There were check-ins and nudges on participants applying what they learnt and overall, it provided opportunities for those old and/or new to their roles, opportunities to connect, network, test new ideas and invest in their own professional learning. Participants had new insights to new models and approaches and were shown different ways of working to improve business value and outcomes. I still draw upon the fabulous resources and information provided by Michelle and many constructs are still resonating."

"The Capability Roadmap provides people with a tool that allows them to reflect and think about their competence across a broad range of L&D capabilities and make a self-assessment based on their knowledge, skills and experience. This then supports a great conversation with their leader and peers about their strengths and development areas and allows us to compare those to the competencies required in their role; or in a role that they have career aspiration in. Learning uncut are knowledgeable and pragmatic and they provide great guidance and support in both using the LPi tool and in guiding our centre wide approach to development."

"Learning teams truly need to spend time in sharpening the saw (building team capability) in these times of digital disruption and fast-paced business world. Michelle provides a holistic solution which demystifies critical competency needs of the team, aligns change management and value-adds to the team and business overall."

"Learning Uncut brings strategic understanding. They’re not concerned with tactical trivia, but know what details need to get done to achieve strategic goals. They’re excellent at making things happen."

"Michelle has deep experience and expertise across the whole range of L&D areas, and a generous spirit of sharing her knowledge with others. We expected her to deliver on her commitment, however she exceeded our expectations. The level of research, detail and tailoring she delivered was far greater than we have come to expect from consultants. The return on investment is high."

"Michelle led us through a strategic review using her ‘Capability Roadmap’ service. Her approach forced us to think deeply about our team structure, roles and required skills. Mapping target capability for twelve months into the future was a critical part of the process. There was real value in testing our thinking with the input of Michelle’s experience and insight. She challenged our assumptions and shone a light on aspects of building a future-focussed learning team that we hadn’t considered. Michelle provided an end-to-end process and supporting collateral. This allowed us to confidently engage our team members in self-assessment with manager validation. The transparency, rigour and discipline of the process helped us maintain momentum and effectively execute the review. Michelle’s Capability Roadmap helped our team members to reflect deeply on where the learning profession is heading and how to invest in their own development. Engaging in this process rocks inertia, shifts thinking and creates momentum with building learning capability."

Michelle excels at consulting with her stakeholders to develop performance-focussed strategies aligned with the goals of the business. She is respected as an advisor on all matters to do with formal, informal and social learning, as well as related to Communities of Practice, networking and collaborative tools.

"After struggling for months to develop a Project Plan to deliver our training strategy, utilising the resources of another provider, I contacted Michelle via a cold call. From my initial conversation with her, I was impressed by her knowledge, focus and attention to detail. Michelle was incredibly professional and thorough throughout the process. She developed a Project Plan that exceeded our expectations. The result of Michelle’s work has meant that our training strategy now has the detail behind it to move forward in an organised and holistic manner. I highly recommend the services of Michelle with regard to strategic project planning."

"Michelle met with our team about the online course we are developing and ways we might provide microlearning opportunities for our learners. She is a superb listener and a quick study. She demonstrated a remarkable ability to dive into an arena new to her and quickly gain her bearings so that she could provide value-added support. We were invigorated by the creativity and expansiveness of her thinking."

Michelle was instrumental in creating the Supply Chain technical (Learning) Academy at Coca-Cola Amatil. She took leadership in developing its L&D strategies, elevated Working out Loud, the effective use of Communities, and spearheaded numerous Capability programs. She is a true leader in strategy, stakeholder management, communication, learning and development. Her dedication, passion for her work and positivity is infectious.

"Michelle has supported Asahi Beverages in the development of its Supply Chain Academy. Michelle has been both a mentor and external adviser for our Supply Chain Academy Manager, providing guidance in strategy development along with the day to day challenges and opportunities. "

"Michelle mentored and supported our learning leaders to form an organisational learning strategy; including tactics to shift culture and bring in new learning technologies. She also led a very important piece of work on benchmarking which gave us insights into how to move to a learning organisation. Whilst working with Michelle, I learnt so much - she has a wealth of knowledge and is practical in her approach. I highly recommend her for any organisation looking to boost their learning strategy or refine ways of working."
