At Dave Basarab Consulting, we’re experts in creating Enterprise Learning Plans.  We work with you to develop your company’s learning strategy and direction, and help you make decisions about allocating financial and staff resources to pursue this strategy.

Learning is an economic elixir.  It makes people and organizations more adaptable, responsive and nimble.  It serves as the bedrock for innovation, as it’s impossible to innovate without learning something new.  It’s the foundation for extraordinary customer service, employee attraction, retention, and development and is the fuel for profitable growth. It can shape culture.  And when it’s done right, it’s one of those rarest opportunities – where employers’ and employees’ needs are in perfect harmony.  In the vast majority of cases, it offers significant benefits for both employers and employees.

Learning investments require a long-term focus and an ability to balance the tradeoffs between profits today for greater returns in the future. In short, having the right learning strategy will increase an organization’s ability to create value.

We recognize that some companies may prefer a more traditional evaluation approach, so as part of our full roster of services, we offer more traditional training evaluation services, as well. Dave Basarab has over 25 years of using these evaluation approaches and can customize them to meet your needs.  The traditional evaluation services we offer include:

• Levels 1-4 Evaluation
• Success Case Evaluation
• Transfer Evaluation
• Impact Evaluation

The cost of a poorly run meeting can be astronomical, in terms of wasted money, staff time and other resources. However, a productive, efficiently run meeting can save thousands of dollars, create new ideas that help a company achieve financial success, solve major problems, and foster a more productive, motivated atmosphere for employees.  It can be difficult for an internal employee to effectively facilitate and contribute in a meeting, especially if the situation is highly emotional or confrontational, or if the team has repeatedly discussed the same issues without positive resolution. This is where Dave Basarab’s knowledge and experience can make a difference.

Having Dave Basarab facilitate your next meeting enables you to fully participate without the need to concentrate on leading the meeting.

Dave leads clients through on-site or virtual meetings, including ideation sessions, corporate retreats, strategic planning sessions, and more, using proven tools to help them work through important issues and achieve real results.
