I realise that many companies cannot afford a full-time Chief Learning Officer, web & learning trends analyst or a human performance technologist. However, you may need these kinds of expertise from time to time. In addition, one of the benefits of an independent consultant is the ability to customize a solution and price for every client.
I can provide your organisation with objective, unbiased advice and tap into a wide network of thought-leaders and experienced professionals.

My standard consulting rate is $(CA)1,500 per day, plus applicable taxes. However, I typically charge by the project, so that clients know what they are committing to and can budget accordingly. This estimate takes into consideration factors such as the value derived by the client, the type of work, the level of risk and the requirement for innovation.
