FRACTIONAL LEARNING & DEVELOPMENT 

Whether you're hiring for a Learning & Development role, building your first L&D function, or stretched too thin, critical programs don't have to wait.  I step in as your interim leader to maintain momentum, optimize systems, and build what's missing, so your next hire inherits a function that's ahead, not behind.

The Gap Companies Face Without L&D Leadership

When L&D leadership is missing or stretched too thin, organizations face:

• Training programs fading or stalling
• Employees without real development support
• Outdated, disorganized LMS platforms
• Leadership pipelines losing momentum
• New hires get inconsistent onboarding
• Skills gaps and compliance blind spots

Result:  stalled growth, declining retention, and a mess your next leader has to clean up.

Stratgegic Leadership That Keeps Everything Moving

With Fractional L&D, you get support, without the full-time cost or delay:

• Training runs without interruption
• Employees stay supported
• LMS stays current and organized
• Leadership development keeps momentum
• Onboarding is structured and consistent
• Leadership gains visibility into ROI and impact

Result:  an L&D function that's organized, effective and built for scale.

Is Fractional L&D Right for Your Organization?

This model works if:

You’re Hiring for an L&D Role.  You’re actively recruiting and need someone to keep programs steady in the meantime

You’re Growing Rapidly. Your team is scaling faster than your L&D capacity, and you need immediate, experienced support

Your L&D Leader Just Left.  You want to maintain momentum while determining your next steps

You’re Building L&D from Scratch.  You’re establishing your first L&D function and need expert guidance without a permanent hire

You Have a Strategic Project.  You need specific expertise (onboarding overhaul, manager training, LMS implementation) for a defined period

You’re Budget-Conscious. You need senior-level L&D leadership but want strategic flexibility without the permanent hire salary + benefits expense

WHY WORK WITH SHANENN

I created the Onboarding Operating System™ to solve the frustration I saw leaders face repeatedly: new hires arriving to chaos, managers buried in hand-holding, and leadership not knowing for months if the hire was right.
With 30+ years designing leadership training and confidence-building systems, I help organizations create L&D programs that are structured, scalable, and proven to work.

What sets fractional work with me apart:
• Proprietary frameworks you can implement immediately, not generic advice
• No ramp-up time.  I’ve built these systems before and know what works
• Flexible engagement to scale support based on your changing needs
• Manager-first approach.  I build systems that make managers’ jobs easier
• Results focused where everything's designed around outcomes: faster ramp-up, higher retention, leadership clarity
