About Aligned Learning
We support organisations to achieve robust results through robust relationships by providing blended learning interventions that strengthen organisational alignment.
We limit the number of inhouse clients we work with annually. This ensures we have the bandwidth to become a trusted partner for your business.
Just as we take the long-term view with the results we create, we also take a long-term view on the relationships we build.
Why alignment?
Alignment is at the heart of symbiotic stakeholder-company relationships. Sustainable success depends on the strategy being aligned with your stakeholders’ needs and the team’s capacity being aligned with the implementation of the company strategy. Alignment creates a work environment that is conducive to developing a culture that works hand-in-glove with your business strategy. Alignment allows the team to share the best of themselves at work. Alignment enables your company to be alert, agile and responsive to your stakeholders’ needs. Both business relationships and business results benefit from being in alignment.
Why do clients choose Aligned Learning?
Our clients realise better business results and relationships from strengthening their organisational alignment. Through Aligned Learning’s dynamic learning solutions and a structured focus on learning transfer, our clients can trust the work environment is geared towards quality and growth.

People are at the heart of many business challenges, opportunities, and complexities. The quality of relationships influences the quality of results.

A two-way commitment is an important part of our service.
Some typical scenarios
Clients come from a wide variety of sectors and backgrounds, with all sorts of challenges and opportunities. Some of these may be familiar to you. One of these scenarios may even be keeping you awake at night:
“We’ve become a bottleneck; the team needs to take more initiative”
Our client, a telecommunications service provider, needed the leadership team to shift their mindsets from managing their teams to developing capacity within their teams. This resulted in less micromanagement and bottlenecks, more initiative and ownership from the team and a greater focus on strategic issues with the leadership team.
“We’re on the right path but we now need the right kind of people to grow”
Our client, a tech firm, was experiencing high growth and recognised the immediate need to keep key employees and the longer term need to be attractive to the ‘right kind of people.’
“We need to be more in harmony”
Our client, a recruitment company, needed to change the organisation from operating in silos to working as a cohesive team with a shared sense of purpose, which meant less mistakes and acrimony and better margins and momentum.
“We have talented people but there’s no shared sense of purpose”
Our client, an accountancy firm, needed to align company culture with the business strategy which meant establishing shared ownership and belief in the company values; recognition of behaviours that ‘lived’ those values; and the company being a magnet only to ‘best fit’ employees.
“We need to do the basics better, simple as that”
Our client, a construction company, wanted to create a companywide competence for the enablers of operational effectiveness, such as impactful communication, having effective meetings, peer accountability, bias alert problem solving and time management practices. This meant a consistent approach and focus on continuously improving work practices throughout the company.
