Our Story: Who Is GP Strategies?

GP Strategies was founded in 1966 with a simple conviction: Organizations perform better when their people learn well. That conviction has never wavered. Everything else has changed. 

We’ve navigated every major shift in how organizations learn and work—from classroom to eLearning, from eLearning to blended, from blended to immersive, and now from human-led to human + AI. Each transition has tested our methodology, sharpened our expertise, and deepened our conviction that learning is not a support function. It is a strategic capability. 

That 60-year perspective is what makes GP Strategies a different kind of partner in the AI-first economy. We’ve seen technology waves come and go. We know which ones transform performance and which ones fade after the pilot. We know what AI changes about learning, and what it fundamentally cannot replace. 

Today, we operate as The Learning Velocity Company™—part of the Learning Technologies Group (LTG)—across 35+ countries, delivering in 19 languages, with a global community of experts dedicated to one purpose: amplifying your people’s potential at the speed of opportunity. 

What Our GP Strategies CEO Believes

“The companies winning right now aren’t necessarily spending the most on technology or training. They’re the ones who’ve figured out how to build new capabilities at the speed their business needs them. Speed certainly matters, but so does getting the right skills to the right people at the right time so that performance actually changes. This combination is what we mean by learning velocity.”

-Jean-François (JF) Vézina, Chief Executive Officer, GP Strategies

What We Stand For

A Global Community of Experts

GP Strategies’ global community of 3,000+ professionals brings together instructional designers, learning scientists, technologists, advisors, facilitators, and creative specialists united by a shared conviction that learning, done well, changes everything. 

Our people don’t arrive with generic expertise and apply it to your context. They arrive with deep domain knowledge—in your industry, your platform landscape, your performance challenge—and they apply it with the kind of judgment that only comes from decades of working at the frontier of how organizations learn and grow. 

That depth is what differentiates the creative craft of GP Studio. It’s what makes our Advisory team’s thinking sharper. It’s what makes GP AIQ+™ a genuine accelerant rather than a shortcut. And it’s what makes a GP Strategies engagement feel like a partnership, not a vendor relationship.
