The January?Effect:?When it comes to strategic investments in people and L&D there is an outsized benefit to starting early.?Whether you make the investment in January or July, the cost sits in the same year, while early investments benefit from a longer and larger return.?We call this amplification of ROI?the January Effect.

?Maximizing the ROI of your L&D Calendar:??Of course, the reverse is true - when executives recommend delaying investment to later in the year, they are eroding the ROI without reducing costs. If you are struggling to fully articulate the business case of your strategic L&D plans or trying to maximize your budget - large or small, LifeLabs Learning specializes in big impact, fast and our Program Consultants can help you craft a plan that generates executive buy-in.

Get Started:?Set up a call with?LifeLabs Learning Program Consultant??to have a Q1 planning conversation. No prep needed. We’ll ask you a series of questions and you’ll leave with?(1)?a plan of action / prioritized list initiatives?(2)?a bunch of insights to help you do your job better?(3)?a delightfully nerdy reframe you can copy for other conversations across your company.
