Leadership Development

At EVelop, we are honored to offer two distinct styles of leadership development solutions, to meet you and your organization's needs. First, we offer a Plug-and-Play solution through exclusive membership with The Institute for Management Studies. Second, we offer a fully customized leadership development solution, with a structured and effective process.

Either approach is a great choice to deliver world-class training and wrap-around support to help leaders at all levels prepare to face the challenges that arise from managing diverse teams and meeting organizational goals.

Workforce Development Planning

In today's rapidly evolving business landscape, workforce development planning is not just a managerial task—it's an art and a science combined. It's the craft of sculpting an organization's most crucial asset: its people. At EVelop, we are passionate about partnering with businesses to decode this art and implement strategic workforce development planning that aligns with your vision and goals.

Manufacturing Environments Done Right

At EVelop, we believe that every manufacturing environment, from bustling assembly lines to quiet back offices, holds the potential for greatness. This belief is at the heart of our mission to revolutionize how manufacturing is perceived. Our philosophy is simple: when you understand what factors make an environment that individuals can thrive in, you empower innovation, productivity, and satisfaction both in the workforce and beyond.

LMS Selection & Implementation

As technology advances at breakneck speed, businesses across various industries face the challenge of efficiently managing their training processes. Here, we delve into the nuances of selecting and implementing the right Learning Management System (LMS) for your organization, guided by the expertise of our seasoned consultant, Stacey.

Building Your Training Dream Team

Building a dream training team isn't merely a nice-to-have—it's an essential investment in your company's future. Modern business environments demand more than just an HR professional juggling multiple roles. To truly thrive, companies must develop comprehensive training teams capable of navigating complex learning landscapes.

Fully Customized Training, Specifically for Manufacturing

At EVelop, we pride ourselves on providing bespoke training solutions tailored specifically to the nuances and unique demands of the manufacturing sector. In today's fast-paced industrial landscape, where innovation and precision are paramount, our custom manufacturing training programs are designed to ensure that your team is equipped with the skills they need, precisely when they need them. This approach not only enhances productivity but also empowers your workforce to embrace the future with confidence.

Instructional Design

Instructional design is not just a buzzword; rather, it's the science and art of crafting educational experiences that lead to measurable learning outcomes. It's a meticulous process that begins with understanding the goal of the training and working backward to develop engaging, effective educational content. Our approach at EVelop is simple yet powerful—recognizing the need for practical and relevant training, especially for those in technical fields such as manufacturing, where Stacey began her career.

Sales & Marketing Strategies for Association - Built Training

Our focus is to empower associations through robust marketing training programs designed to bridge gaps and enhance member engagement. Led by Stacey, a seasoned professional with extensive expertise across various industries, we are committed to guiding associations in maximizing their potential and elevating their value proposition to members.
