In-house vs managed

L&D outsourcing, from strategy to delivery.

Edstellar can run your whole learning function, from strategy and content to delivery, technology and vendors. Here is the honest trade-off between covering that span in-house and handing it to a managed service.

ON YOUR OWN

Keeping L&D in-house

  • ✕One small team stretched across strategy, content, delivery, technology and vendors.
  • ✕Fixed headcount sits idle in quiet months and is overwhelmed in busy ones.
  • ✕Quality and cost swing by which vendor and region delivered.
  • ✕Reporting is manual, so impact is hard to prove.

FAQ

Managed learning services FAQs.

What does managed learning services include?

Seven L&D services run as one team: learning strategy consulting, learning content design and development, managed training services, learning technology administration, training vendor management, learning analytics and reporting, and L&D staff augmentation.

How is it different from L&D consulting?

L&D consulting designs and builds parts of your learning system. Managed learning services goes further and runs the function day to day, to agreed SLAs and outcome metrics, with impact reported every quarter.

Can we outsource only part of our L&D?

Yes. Choose Advisory, Selective, Managed or End-to-end: start with advice, hand over the areas that stretch your team, or run the whole function through one contract. Every engagement can grow over time.

How long does it take to get started?

Following the 5A method, assessment and service design take roughly 4 to 8 weeks, the phased transition 6 to 10 weeks, and go-live and stabilization 10 to 14 weeks, with your team steering throughout. Scope sets the exact timeline.

What do we get at the end?

A current-state map, a service design with agreed scope and SLAs, a transition plan, a live managed service, and a quarterly review that drives cost down and impact up. You keep your platforms, data, content and IP.
