About Us

At The DiSalvo Learning Group, we strive to deliver optimized training programs that bring out the best in employees. Our founders are seasoned professionals whose training development, consultation and facilitation expertise span more than 21 years. Additionally, we work with experts in our Professional Performance Network to round out best practices in team and personal development for our clients.

The DiSalvo Learning Group

We established The DiSalvo Learning Group (DLG) after years of collaboration on training programs for a large outsourcing company. While working together on the firm’s largest annual training project, where we led learning efforts for nearly 700 employees in multiple locations, we realized that we share a common approach to learning. By combining our knowledge and ambition, we knew we could expand our range of skills and expertise.

Wanting to share this expertise with leaders of other organizations, we created DLG. Our extensive experience in managing solutions for rapidly expanding teams taught us that effective training solutions require: (1) a disciplined project management approach, (2) a strong personal commitment to achieve superior results, and above all else, (3) good listening.

Listening to your needs is our number one priority. We have successfully designed, developed, and facilitated training programs for companies ranging in size from 100 to 100,000 employees because of our ability to truly determine what our clients want.

Our Approach

We employ a comprehensive project management approach to developing learning solutions. In recent years, well-disciplined project management has been widely adopted in many aspects of business, and training development should not be an exception. We follow the typical ADDIE model. Here is an example of our framework:

  • Discovery
    1. Documentation
    2. Interviews
  • Analysis
    1. Needs assessment
    2. Gap analysis
  • Planning
    1. Delivery schedule
    2. Resource assignment
  • Design & Development
    1. Courses
    2. Materials
    3. Activities
  • Testing & Validation
  • Implementation
  • Follow up
    1. Feedback
    2. Course observation

Using the standard project management as a foundation, we tailor our approach to meet each client’s needs.
