Managed Learning Services & Learning Content Design
Build and Scale Learning Operations That Deliver Results
GP Strategies combines two of the most critical capabilities in enterprise L&D: the operational discipline to run learning at scale, and the creative and instructional expertise to make that learning worth running.
As one of the world’s leading Managed Learning Services providers and a global leader in learning content design and development, we help organizations build learning functions that are efficient, high-quality, and tied to measurable business performance.
Learning Challenges Organizations Need to Solve
Most organizations face pressure on two fronts, simultaneously: learning operations that are too complex to manage efficiently, and content that isn’t engaging or relevant enough to drive real behavior change. Solving one challenge without the other won’t truly improve performance.
Common realities we see:
- Learning operations that consume resources without advancing strategic goals
- Fragmented vendor relationships creating duplication, inconsistency, and governance risk
- Content that’s outdated, generic, or disconnected from the way work actually happens
- No clear link between learning investment and business performance
- Inconsistent learner experience across regions, functions, and modalities
- L&D teams stretched too thin to focus on quality—let alone transformation
98% of L&D professionals want to measure learning impact—but only 24% have budget allocated to do so.
Only 1 in 3 organizations report their L&D budgets are aligned to business goals.
How Integrated Learning Services Improve Scale and Impact
A learning function that runs smoothly but delivers forgettable content won’t move the needle. And brilliant content that sits inside a broken operating model will never reach the people who need it. The organizations that achieve learning velocity get both right—strategy and execution, infrastructure and experience, efficiency and impact.
That’s the integrated advantage GP Strategies brings to the table. We help you build the operating model that makes learning sustainable at scale, and we design the content experiences that make every learning moment worth the investment.
MLS & Learning Services Capabilities
Most organizations are fighting two battles at once: learning operations too complex to run efficiently, and content too generic to drive real performance. We’re built to solve both, and it’s that combination that turns L&D from a cost center into a competitive advantage.

The Difference an Integrated Approach Makes
Dynamic Learning Transformation Re-Energizes and Modernizes Onboarding at HSBC
When HSBC’s First Direct division needed to modernize employee onboarding for a hybrid workforce, GP Strategies redesigned the entire learning journey from the ground up. Working together, we replaced a rigid, instructor-heavy program with youfirst—a four-phase, learner-centered experience built on Degreed that gave new employees control over their own learning while freeing facilitators to focus on high-value coaching. The result was a faster, more engaging onboarding program that measurably improved both learner readiness and business performance.
- 317% increase in time available for one-to-one coaching
- 76% decrease in instructor-led modules
- 33% increase in time saved by delivering learning in a better way
- 27% decrease in attrition
- 23% increase in learner readiness
