It’s no secret that at the heart of any successful organization is an accomplished team working in perfect harmony with the organization’s core belief system. Given this fact, it is quite strange that most consulting companies – with their focus on learning and development – address only one or the other component. Either they offer employee training solutions or they offer management solutions, thereby failing to help an organization harness its true potential. Luv Jasuja and Viraj Kalra co-founded White Ladder Consulting & Training in 2011 to fulfil this need by offering a portfolio of solutions that take a more holistic view of an organization. With its engagements spanning clients globally, White Ladder provides a blend of full-service training (soft and behavioural skills) and Consulting (HR & Brand) thereby addressing both, the micro (up-skilling) and macro (management and strategy) needs of an organization. “We facilitate our clients in significantly moving-up the value-chain by focusing on transformation and up-gradation of people, services, processes, culture, communication-systems (internal & external) and strategic management,” says Viraj.
Personalized Solutions to the Last Detail
White Ladder develops personalized learning solutions that draw on the what, why and how of every learning topic. This ensures that the outcomes are beneficial as well as contextual for a client. “We start from ground zero (research & insights), and develop every case very peculiarly,” adds Luv.

The duo recalls a project with a leading global ITES and consulting organization. The brief was to help the organization enhance its innovation capability (individual), innovation capacity (organization) and its organization-wide innovation culture. White Ladder proceeded with establishing an innovativeness benchmark as a measure of innovativeness at all three levels. Gamified online micro-learning, assessments, one-on-one coaching, employee engagement campaign etc. were some of the tools that were developed to encourage and inspire innovative thinking within the organization. A special app (called Innovapp) was developed, which allowed individuals to personalize their learning goals, share their case-studies, pose challenges and collaborate on projects, all driven by the singular objective and outcome, i.e., innovation.We facilitate our clients in significantly moving-up the value-chain by focusing on transformation and up-gradation of people, services, processes, culture, communication-systems and strategic management

We like to call our experiential learning ‘EnterTraining’ - a combination of entertainment (fun) and training”. On an average White Ladder designs and delivers 35+ client offsites every year.
