Larson Slade  supports teams in developing and delivering performance improvement solutions. We employed the Instructional Systems Development (ISD) and ADDIE models to develop approximately 600 hours of instruction, and we are proficient in designing for SCORM, AICC and Section 508 compliance. We develop and deliver training for all media: classroom, e-learning, blended learning, and mobile devices.

We are also analysts and writers: policies and procedures, user guides, proposals, scripts, reports, white papers and more. We design business processes and implement change management.

We excel in working with virtual teams, including subject matter experts around the globe. We often serve in a project management or task leadership role, and we can help strategize your project and create a schedule, budget and team.
