For organizations that are serious about learning and development but aren’t ready—or don’t need—a full-time hire. Dr. Stanton embeds as your strategic learning leader, building the systems, culture, and capability that drive consistent performance.
Most organizations train reactively—responding to problems, launching programs, then watching results plateau. A Chief Learning Officer changes that. The CLO is the strategic architect of how an organization learns, develops capability, and converts knowledge into performance.
The Fractional CLO model gives you that architecture—without the full-time salary, benefits package, or lengthy hiring process. Dr. Stanton steps into the role on a retained, part-time basis and operates as a genuine member of your leadership team.
This isn’t consulting at arm’s length. It’s embedded strategic leadership—accountable, responsive, and invested in outcomes.
“The question isn’t whether your organization needs a learning strategy. It’s whether you have one that actually works.”
Every engagement is scoped to your organization’s specific needs and stage of development. These are the core areas of strategic ownership.
A clear, written L&D strategy aligned to your business goals—covering what you’re building, why, in what sequence, and how success is measured.
Design of your full training ecosystem: onboarding programs, role-based learning paths, leadership development tracks, and ongoing skill-building frameworks.
Strategic direction and quality review for all learning content—whether built internally, sourced externally, or developed in partnership.
Identifying where the gaps are between current performance and expected performance—and designing targeted learning interventions that address root cause, not symptoms.
Developing your internal leaders as coaches and performance managers—so learning doesn’t stop when formal training ends.
Building the frameworks to measure learning effectiveness, track skill development, and connect training investment to business outcomes.
The Fractional CLO model works best when an organization has outgrown ad hoc training—but hasn’t yet built the internal infrastructure to manage L&D strategically.
It’s not a one-size-fits-all engagement. The organizations that get the most from this are the ones that are ready to stop treating training as an event and start treating it as a system.
Agent onboarding, production consistency, and leadership development built on behavioral science—not hope.
Organizations where sales performance is inconsistent and training hasn’t moved the needle—yet.
Member education programs that need strategic architecture, not just event content.
Teams scaling fast who need a learning infrastructure in place before the cracks become crises.
