Hello! This is Will Thalheimer. And this website is devoted to the practice of learning audits.
I do them for my clients, and I think most organizations would benefit if they conducted their own learning audits. Without a periodic audit of our learning interventions, we are undoubtedly missing out on opportunities to improve our practices and maximize our learning results.
Within the last few years, learning researchers have codified an impressive array of proven learning factors, many of which are not utilized in common practice today. To put it bluntly, most learning interventions are simply not as effective as they might be. Indeed, when companies have their learning interventions research-benchmarked, they almost always learn relatively simple and cost-effective fixes they can apply to maximize their learning results.
I'd love you to hire me to audit one or more of your learning interventions, but I realize that that's not going to be in the budget for everyone. To make it easier for you to conduct your own learning audits, I've created this website and have written a comprehensive report to help you and your organization get started.
Here's a link to the report How to Conduct a Learning Audit if you'd like to get started now.
If you can't be dissuaded, and you still think you'd like to consider hiring me, here's a link to a brilliant and incisive exposition on why you should hire me.

What is a Learning Audit?
A learning audit is a systematic review of a learning program to determine the program’s strengths and weaknesses—with the aim to guide subsequent improvements of that learning program and/or other learning programs. Learning audits are conducted in a high-integrity manner to ensure validity and limit bias. Full scale learning audits are comprehensive and involve a substantial amount of time and effort. Learning audits can be done more quickly as long as they maintain a high-integrity systematic process. Learning audits can be done on any type of learning initiative, including classroom training, elearning, mobile learning, on-the-job learning, self-initiated learning, and academic learning.
