LEARNING THAT DRIVES BUSINESS GROWTH

We turn learning and development into a competitive advantage

In today's competitive landscape, learning and development isn't just a business function—it's a strategic advantage that drives growth and innovation. By treating learning as a strategic asset rather than a cost center, ecosystems that accelerate adaptation, improve performance, and enable efficient scaling are created. The result? Faster onboarding, better knowledge retention, reduced training costs, and improved alignment between learning initiatives and business goals.

Where academic research meets industry expertise

I'm Christie Vanorsdale, learning architect and scholar-practitioner with doctoral research in cognitive multimedia learning theory. With over 15 years of hands-on experience, I bring data-driven methodologies to Learning Management Systems.​

We worked with Christie Vanorsdale, Ed.D (Vanorsdale Learning Lab) over six months to evaluate and implement our Docebo LMS. She played a key role in configuring and launching the system to meet both current needs and long-term scalability goals.

Christie collaborated with the vendor to design system architecture tailored to our requirements and addressed technical and structural challenges with effective, pragmatic solutions. As a CRO in a regulated industry, we valued her focus on controls that support compliance and evolving regulatory readiness. She also helped define training workflows and created reusable templates, allowing our team to manage the system independently.

Throughout the project, she was flexible, responsive, and adapted to shifting priorities without losing momentum. Her expertise, professionalism, and collaborative approach made her an exceptional partner. We would not hesitate to work with her again.
