Learning Solutions Assessment
Uncover opportunities. Clarify strategy. Drive better learning outcomes.
Whether you’re evolving academic programs, advancing professional education in your association, or optimizing training courses for clients and customers, the Learning Solutions Assessment equips you to make data-informed decisions.
This comprehensive evaluation service delivers a systematic approach to aligning your learning programs, digital tools, and teams with your organization’s unique mission and strategic priorities — helping you unlock new opportunities for impact, agility, and growth.
Designed for higher education institutions, associations, and corporate businesses alike, our assessment provides leaders and stakeholders with a clear roadmap tailored to your environment and goals.
Highlights of the assessment include:
Boundless Learning’s consultative assessment helps you identify what’s working, what’s not, and where to go next — through expert insight, stakeholder engagement, and data-driven strategy.
Our approach ensures that all voices are heard, insights are actionable, and recommendations are built around your organizational context.
Our 4-phase approach
Phase 1: Discovery and engagement
In this first phase, we meet with key stakeholders, review foundational materials, and work to establish trust and cross-functional buy-in that’s critical for later phases.
Our goal is to understand:
- Your mission, organizational priorities, and strategic objectives
- The critical challenges and questions you’re currently navigating
- Pain points across areas like programs, membership, operations, or service delivery
We gather baseline inputs — such as organizational charts, program or service snapshots, and existing market or performance data — and start mapping your decision-making landscape.
Through stakeholder interviews and questionnaires, we surface internal perceptions, which often reveal alignment gaps or blind spots early in the process.

Phase 2: Analysis and needs identification
Next, we conduct a deep dive into your organization’s ecosystem.
This phase involves benchmarking, market scanning, and diagnostic work across four key dimensions:
- Market alignment: Are your offerings positioned to meet current and future demand?
- Operational efficiency: Are there systemic challenges in resource allocation or service delivery?
- Strategic positioning: How well are your education programs differentiated and future-ready? And how do they stack up against competitors’ offerings?
- Stakeholder-centricity: What’s the experience and satisfaction story behind the numbers?
We also conduct SWOT and PESTLE analyses, where needed, comparing your organizational inputs to broader trends, whether regional, national, or global.
This is where insights begin to emerge — not just from the data itself, but from the patterns and connections we uncover across layers.

Phase 3: Solution mapping
In this phase of the assessment, we take everything we’ve learned about your organization to develop a strategic roadmap.
Each recommendation we include is directly linked to:
- A specific institutional challenge or opportunity
- An expected impact or measurable outcome
- An internal owner or stakeholder group
- And, where relevant, a recommended set of next services — whether that’s something from Boundless Learning or an adjacent partner.
This isn’t a report full of ideas. It’s a targeted, sequenced action plan of what to address, in what order, with what resources.
Deliverable: Solution roadmap and comprehensive report
Phase 4: Presentation and next steps
The process concludes with a formal presentation to executive leaders or board-facing teams and is designed to shift the process from insight to decision.
We walk through:
- Key findings and the proposed roadmap
- Immediate opportunities for action
- Multiple entry points for implementation, based on your organization’s bandwidth and readiness
This is where trust and clarity intersect. Your organization gains a clear pathway forward, and your teams feel equipped and empowered to take action.

From insight to impact: Case study
Market insights drive smart expansion for UC Riverside
UC Riverside’s new ME in Automotive and Mobility Systems Engineering is a case study in data-informed innovation.
Just after launching this first-of-its-kind specialization in the UC system, UCR partnered with Boundless Learning to refine the program based on market demand. We provided faculty with supporting research and competitor benchmarking based on industry insights and future talent needs. This enabled them to make the program more competitive, including adopting a more discoverable name.
Alongside the academic design work, we also partnered with UCR to support program marketing, enrollment, and student services — extending the continuity of service we provide across its broader ME portfolio.
The result was a fully online, sustainability-driven offering poised to meet growing demand for expertise in electric, autonomous, and alternative-fuel vehicles. This collaborative, research-driven approach shows what’s possible when universities align academic strengths with evolving workforce trends.
