Practice Areas

Two ways LearnFrame works with clients.

Programme Design & Build delivers learning programmes end to end. Fractional Leadership puts product or operational capacity inside the executive team. Each engagement begins with a paid discovery and scoping phase.

Practice Area One

Programme Design & Build

LearnFrame's principal practice. End-to-end design and production of digital learning programmes for EdTech businesses, certification bodies, and content-rich organisations. The work is led from Dublin and produced through an established Cape Town team — a structural arrangement that combines strategic and creative direction with substantial production capacity.

Engagements are scoped against the brief defined in the discovery and scoping phase. Typical durations run from three to nine months, with longer arrangements where the relationship extends into ongoing content partnership.

Capabilities

  • Programme architecture and instructional design
  • Content development, multimedia, and interactive build
  • Editorial frameworks and content operations
  • Platform integration and technical packaging (SCORM, xAPI, LMS)
  • AI-supported content workflows and adaptive learning design
  • Quality assurance, accessibility, and compliance

Practice Area Two

Fractional Leadership

A CPO or COO seat inside the executive team, typically one or two days a week, for six to twelve months. The role is operational and accountable — sized for EdTech businesses where a full-time hire is six to twelve months ahead of the budget, but the leadership gap is already shaping outcomes.

The seat is held under formal engagement terms with clear cadence, decision rights, and milestones agreed at the outset. CTO and CEO roles are supported in selected circumstances, but CPO and COO are the lead seats LearnFrame holds.

Capabilities

  • Product and platform strategy
  • Operational cadence, team architecture, and hiring plans
  • Programme and product portfolio rationalisation
  • Pricing, packaging, and go-to-market for learning products
  • Board, investor, and customer-facing support
  • Capability transfer to internal leadership before exit

Engagement Structure

How LearnFrame engages.

Both practice areas follow the same three-phase structure. The shape of each phase varies by engagement; the structure does not.

Phase 1 · 4–6 weeks

Discovery & scoping

A paid phase to understand the business, audit existing learning assets, and define the scope and shape of the work that follows. Concludes with a written diagnosis and scoping recommendation.

Phase 2 · variable

Design & delivery

The selected practice area takes over: programme architecture, content design, build and production, or embedded leadership inside the executive team. Cadence and milestones agreed at the outset.

Phase 3 · 4–8 weeks

Embed & transfer

Knowledge, processes, and capability transfer to the client team. The engagement winds down with the client owning the outcome — not dependent on continued LearnFrame involvement.
