9-Step
INNOVATIVE, STREAMLINED DEVELOPMENT PROCESS
Minimal
SME EFFORT, MAXIMUM TRANSFER TO THE JOB
Our Process
Nine steps from kickoff to launch.
A predictable, collaborative path engineered for transfer of learning. Two structured SME review cycles keep your experts close without burning their time, and keep every decision tied to organizational results.
Designed to minimize SME effort, without sacrificing the quality of the final module.
Define learning objectives
We start by defining what learners should know or do differently after the training.
Meet with your SME
We work directly with your subject matter expert to gather source content.
Expand content with approved AI
With client approval, we use approved AI models to expand draft content innovatively, saving your SME hours of writing time while strengthening transfer to the job.
Deliver Alpha draft
Content-first Alpha draft delivered in a digital review tool. Limited design, focused on substance.
Gather SME feedback
Structured review cycle inside the review tool. Comments are captured in one place.
Deliver Beta draft
Edits applied and the module is delivered with full visual design and branding.
Gather SME feedback
Second review cycle, this time against the polished, branded module.
Deliver Final draft
Final edits applied and the production-ready module is delivered.
Deployment support
We support deployment to your LMS or delivery platform.
Tools & Ownership
Industry-standard tools, plus our own toolkit.
We build in Articulate so you retain all source files and content. When you want more, we layer in our custom interaction tools to drive engagement, retention, and transfer of learning into on-the-job performance.
You own the source
We develop in Articulate, the industry standard for eLearning. You keep all source files and content, so your team can maintain, update, and extend the modules long after delivery. Prefer a different authoring tool? We can develop in other platforms to fit your existing ecosystem.
LFC custom tools
For higher interaction, retention, and transfer to the job, we layer in our innovative proprietary tools, purpose-built for adult learners and tied to the organizational results you need.

Subject Breadth
From soft skills to highly technical training.
We've built training across an exceptionally wide range of subjects, from how to communicate effectively with a team to how to perform robotic knee surgery and hundreds of other topics in between. You are the experts in your processes and content. We enable the transfer of learning back to the job to drive results.
Soft skills
Communication, leadership, coaching, change management, customer experience, and team effectiveness, all designed to shift behavior and drive measurable outcomes.
Technical training
Complex systems, software, equipment, compliance, and SOPs. If your SME knows it, we can build it.
Scope & Change
What can shift cost mid-project.
Transparency up front means no surprises later. These are the two areas where scope changes meaningfully impact pricing.
Content redesign
All content is considered when determining the final run time of the course after the Alpha draft. Significant redesigns after that point can shift the tier, and therefore the cost.
Large-scale custom interactions
Innovative custom interactions developed through programming require prior written approval before development begins, so scope, cost, and the targeted organizational results stay aligned.
Pricing
Priced by learner seat time.
eLearning is priced in four tiers based on the seat time of the final module. Instructor-led training is priced per hour of seat time.

FAQ
Questions prospective clients often ask
Instructional design is the structured process of turning subject matter expertise into training that people can actually apply on the job. It covers everything from defining what learners should be able to do differently, to building the course, to supporting how it gets delivered. Looking Forward Consulting approaches instructional design as a collaborative process built for transfer of learning, so the training changes behavior at work rather than just delivering information. The focus stays on results the organization can measure, not on content for its own sake.
Looking Forward Consulting follows a nine-step process that runs from defining learning objectives to supporting deployment. After objectives are set, the team gathers source content from your subject matter expert, develops a content-first Alpha draft, and then moves through two structured review cycles, one on the substance and one on the fully designed and branded module. The final production-ready module is delivered with support to launch it on your LMS or delivery platform. The two review cycles are deliberate, since they keep your experts involved at the right moments without consuming their time.
The process is designed to require minimal time from your subject matter expert while still producing a high-quality module. Your expert is involved at two structured review points rather than throughout, and all feedback is captured in one place inside a digital review tool. With client approval, approved AI is used to expand draft content, which saves the expert hours of writing. This protects your expert's schedule while keeping the content accurate and grounded in their knowledge.
Yes, you own all the source files and content. Looking Forward Consulting develops in Articulate, the industry standard for eLearning, so your team can maintain, update, and extend the modules long after delivery rather than being locked in. If your organization prefers a different authoring tool, development can be done in other platforms to fit your existing ecosystem. Ownership stays with you, which means the investment keeps working after the project ends.
AI is used only with your approval, and only to expand content your subject matter expert has already provided. It speeds up the drafting stage and reduces the writing burden on your expert, but the direction, accuracy, and final decisions stay human-led. Your expert reviews the material through two structured cycles, so nothing reaches learners without expert sign-off. The result is faster development without giving up quality or control.
Looking Forward Consulting builds training across a very wide range of subjects, from soft skills to highly technical content. On the soft skills side that includes communication, leadership, coaching, change management, customer experience, and team effectiveness. On the technical side it covers complex systems, software, equipment, compliance, and standard operating procedures. If your subject matter expert knows it, the team can build it, and modules can be delivered as eLearning or instructor-led training.
