By analyzing the root causes of performance gaps, an AllenComm advisor can provide recommendations that ensure your program addresses essential needs for change. This focus avoids wasting resources on training that might not translate to real-world, measurable improvement.
We recommend this service for your most strategic initiatives, where complexity or ambiguity would otherwise create risk. Depending on your needs, our training and development consultant will recommend performance consulting services that are right-sized and appropriate to the questions that need to be answered.
A conventional learning needs analysis is often too focused on what should be learned instead of what should be experienced or what learners need to be able to do. AllenComm’s unique methodology for needs analysis, called Performance Mapping, is a powerful tool that goes beyond conventional learning analysis. In addition to analyzing learning needs, this process also analyzes performance gaps and needs for learner experience.
What’s more, AllenComm uses the insight from this analysis to map out a personalized learning journey that transforms current behaviors into impactful performance. This is a journey that drives success and strengthens a culture of continuous learning, bringing about positive change and growth. Discover what our training and development consultant can do for you!
Case Study:
When PNC, a nationwide leader in banking and financial services, wanted learning courses to support a culture of accessibility and inclusion, they requested an enterprise-wide accessibility-based learning journey for managers, employees and contractors. The goal was to affirm PNC’s commitment to creating a barrier-free environment where all individuals are included and contribute to making banking easier and more accessible.
Before you can design a comprehensive learning journey with an optimal learner experience design (LXD), you need to fully understand the needs of learners and the organization. A performance training consultant can facilitate that analysis and recommend the most effective approaches to meet your needs. A learning needs or gap analysis helps you to set the right priorities. An evaluation of your existing curriculum helps you to further identify where there may be gaps. And a plan for assessment identifies those key performance indicators most essential for learners and management. Our performance consulting services are designed to help you enhance training for your team.
This type of analysis identifies the critical skills and knowledge your workforce needs to achieve strategic goals, ensuring that your learning programs directly address these performance gaps and contribute to measurable business results.
A curriculum evaluation goes beyond the typical needs analysis by assessing the effectiveness of an existing curriculum. It examines the program design, content, and delivery methods to determine if they are achieving the intended learning outcomes. This insight helps to refine existing programs or identify new needs.
An analysis focused on learner assessment and on learning analytics goes further into measurement than does a needs or curriculum analysis. The performance consultant will look at individual and collective learner data to provide insight on how learners engage with the learning and recommend adjustments to optimize learning outcomes.

When people refer to corporate training consultants, they may be referring generally to all those who provide specialized learning and development (L&D) services to the corporate market. The role of a training consultant, however, is to analyze the need for corporate training, make recommendations for the optimum learning solution, and to evaluate the efficacy of learning programs. At AllenComm, our training consultants are called performance consultants because they are focused on the end objective of changing human performance.
The value of a training consultant comes from the insight provided by their analysis. This insight should lead to and accelerate measurable impact in learner performance and improved business outcomes. An important component of the consultation or recommendation should be a plan for measuring value. As the L&D field becomes more specialized, it is often inefficient for an organizational L&D team to have in–house experts on every domain of expertise (learning analysis, assessment, change readiness, etc.). External consultants bring longitudinal experience from working with multiple clients, often in the same industry. The breadth and depth of their experience enables them to provide more valuable and actionable insights.
A performance consultant specializes in analyzing the desired on-the-job performance of a workforce. They look at the business needs and prioritize the learner behaviors that contribute most directly to achieving those goals. Only then, after they understand the performance needs, do they focus on the learning and training needs. A performance consultant conducts surveys, stakeholder interviews, and focus groups. They will evaluate business data, assessments, and other existing sources of information. Finally, they recommend a high-level LX journey that will lead to the desired performance improvement.
Instead of looking at what needs to be learned, target root behaviors and their gaps. This will enable you to target and prioritize performance. The typical learning needs analysis results in a list of learning objectives. Instead of identifying everything a learner might need to know, filter priorities through the lens of what is most relevant for on-the-job performance and most critical to realizing organizational impact. At AllenComm, we use our process for Performance Mapping to organize the analysis and to ensure that we focus on the needs of both the business and individual learners.
Performance consulting strengthens ROI by focusing on the behaviors and performance gaps that matter most. Instead of building training around broad content, a performance consultant identifies the critical behaviors tied to business results and ensures the learning experience targets those outcomes directly. This approach makes corporate training consulting more strategic and more measurable.
A traditional learning needs analysis centers on what employees should learn. AllenComm’s performance consulting—anchored in our Performance Mapping methodology—focuses on what employees must do to perform successfully. This process examines performance gaps, workplace conditions, and experience needs, offering a more holistic and actionable foundation than a conventional training needs analysis.
Organizations typically bring in a corporate training consultant when performance gaps are unclear, when learning initiatives are strategically important, or when existing training programs are not driving measurable behavior change. A consultant can facilitate alignment, conduct in-depth performance analysis, and recommend a more focused and effective learning strategy.
Performance gap analysis identifies the specific knowledge, skills, and mindsets required for success—and compares these needs to current employee performance. By pinpointing what drives or inhibits behavior on the job, this analysis allows corporate training teams to design learning experiences that meaningfully shift habits, decisions, and actions.
Curriculum evaluation examines how well your existing training programs are working. By reviewing content, learning experience design, and delivery methods, a consultant can determine whether your curriculum supports the intended performance outcomes. This evaluation helps refine, update, or re-prioritize training elements to better address performance gaps.
Learner analytics—and broader learning analytics—provide insight into how employees interact with training, where they succeed, and where they struggle. A performance consultant uses this data to identify engagement patterns, segment learners, and recommend assessment strategies that more accurately measure on-the-job performance.
Yes. Performance consulting also assesses environmental factors, workplace enablers, leadership expectations, and cultural influences. By looking beyond the training content, a consultant can recommend changes that support a healthier learning culture and make it easier for employees to adopt new behaviors.
A performance consultant evaluates your current assessment methods, determines how well they measure learning transfer, and recommends enhancements such as adaptive assessments or behavior-based measurement. This ensures your training assessment strategy is aligned with both performance expectations and business needs.
Absolutely. Performance consulting gives L&D leaders the analytical foundation to build multi-year strategies for upskilling, reskilling, and capability development. By identifying future-state behaviors and performance requirements, the process supports scalable learning journeys aligned with longer-term workforce goals.
