How Our Services Work Together

Diagnose | Decide | Design | Measure | Sustain

Not every organization needs every service. Our role is to help you determine what is needed, when it is needed, and why.

Start with a Performance Diagnosis. Everything else flows from there.

Performance Diagnosis & Decision Support

Before designing training, we help you determine whether training is the right solution.

A lack of training does not cause most performance challenges. Unclear expectations, misaligned processes, missing supports, or competing priorities cause them. Our Performance Diagnosis service helps organizations identify the real source of performance gaps and decide what will actually improve results.

Using the Five Essential Questions Performance System, we work with stakeholders to clarify:

  • What performance is expected

  • What is actually happening on the job

  • Why the gap exists

  • Whether training can realistically close it

  • How success should be measured

What you gain:

  • A clear, shared definition of the performance problem

  • A defensible recommendation: training, non-training, or a combination

  • A prioritized path forward aligned to business outcomes

  • Greater confidence and credibility in L&D decision-making

Targeted Learning & Performance Solutions

When training is the right solution, we design learning that is built to transfer.

If performance diagnosis confirms that training is necessary, Ethnopraxis designs targeted, performance-aligned learning solutions that focus on what people must do differently on the job—not just what they must know.

Our approach emphasizes:

  • Clear performance expectations and observable behaviors

  • Practice aligned to real work conditions

  • Manager and environmental support for transfer

  • Minimal but sufficient training—no unnecessary content

We do not design training in isolation. Learning solutions are integrated with workflows, leadership expectations, and performance systems to support sustained behavior change.

Outcome:

Learning that supports real performance—not just completion, satisfaction, or test scores.


Evaluation, Transfer & Business Impact Measurement

We help organizations determine whether learning actually changes behavior and improves results.

Evaluation is not an afterthought at Ethnopraxis—it is designed from the start. We help organizations measure whether learning transfers to the job and contributes to meaningful business outcomes.

Our evaluation work focuses on:

  • Level 3 (behavior) and Level 4 (results) outcomes

  • Conditions that enable or inhibit transfer

  • Actionable insights for improvement—not vanity metrics

  • ROI analysis when appropriate and credible

Evaluation findings inform decisions, refine solutions, and demonstrate value to stakeholders.

Outcome:
Clear evidence of what is working, what is not, and why.


Sustainment & Capability Building

We help organizations build capability—not long-term dependence.

For organizations seeking long-term maturity, Ethnopraxis supports the development of internal capability in:

  • Performance diagnosis

  • Learning design aligned to job performance

  • Evaluation and measurement practices

  • Manager coaching and reinforcement skills

This service is designed to help organizations own the work over time, reduce reliance on external consultants, and embed evidence-based decision-making into L&D and performance processes.

Outcome:
Sustainable capability and stronger internal alignment.
