The current economy has created lean staffing ratios across industry sectors. Many potential clients have redefined employee roles, concentrating on essential services. While this makes economic sense it can leave a business without the human capital to take on an expansion project or respond to a new market need.

Our customer driven partnership approach makes this business unique. As partners, we bring efficient, targeted project related services, designed to maximize project budgets and produce intended results on a timeline that meets our partner’s business needs. Over the years of networking and interacting with a range of skilled and talented individuals, we’ve been able to identify a network of talents to support specialty client’s needs and larger more complex projects.

Working  on projects and instructional design over the past eleven years created the opportunity to partner with government, military and private clients who demonstrated a consistent needed these services. The ability to successfully step into a work place culture, meet the client where they are at in the evolution of a project or instructional process and see the work through to completion is a skill set that is essential across a range of work place settings.

Our project and instructional design clients vary widely. One client wanted initial concept and design assistance developing a new staff mentor program for their 500+ employee agency.  We worked with this client to move ideas through the internal committee process and into a refined program structure. Although this client had a program manager staff in place, the client determined the need for an external trainer. Dion Consulting has successfully delivered project based training for this client for the past three years.

Another client had developed an extensive training program, designed to support service and family members who were deploying overseas. This client had program evaluation data and had a ‘sense’ that their outreach and education program could demonstrate a greater impact in their target community.

Working with an internal team, national veteran’s services and breaking research, we supported this client in creating a strong foundation or framework for their education and outreach program. Once the framework was established and aligned with research and service branch directives, we worked to align and redesign the education and outreach content of both face to face and web based training.

We supported this client with in depth services designed to build a sustainable infrastructure to use long after we completed our contract. Included in these services were an educational framework, instructional design components, training for trainers, and an evaluation process designed to grow over time.

In another contract, two partner agencies that wanted to jointly fund a small expansion project, required initial support toclarify the scope of the joint venture ideas. Speaking at their monthly meetings, assessing agency priorities and profiling current industry trends, helped us to support our client in defining project details. We worked to develop a dual agency budget, and identify a project process that allowed for consistent dual agency input. Working with the identified leadership team we successfully developed the project deliverables on time and within the budget parameters.

We have a very successful track record of successful work across subject matter areas and work place cultures. Our success is built upon the idea that clients generally know what they want and bring considerable perspective and experience to the table. We tap into their knowledge and wisdom and utilize our vast network of professionals to provide the depth of services needed to identify and create quality project deliverables and instructional design components.
