Clients we've worked with:
With deep local expertise, we help companies build learning platforms and create meaningful learning that grow people and potential.
We implement Totara’s flexible learning platform and create high-quality learning content to unlock your organisation’s full learning potential. Whether you need content, a platform, or both, we provide practical, tailored services aligned with your learning strategy and business outcomes.
One platform. Unlimited learning and growth.
At LATERAL, we implement Totara’s Learning Management System (LMS), a powerful and flexible suite that brings together learning, employee engagement and performance in one place.
At the core of the LMS is Totara Learn (+ Engage), a robust learning management system designed to simplify compliance, accelerate onboarding, and deliver personalised learning at scale, while also supporting continuous learning and collaboration.
Complementing it is Totara Perform, which helps manage performance with flexible goal setting, real-time feedback, and regular check-ins to keep your people focused, motivated, and growing.
Learning content to drive today’s workforce.
At LATERAL, we create learning content tailored to your subject matter, your people, and how you need to deliver it. Whether it’s compliance, onboarding, or hands-on skills, we select the right format such as video, SCORM or H5P, interactive lessons, or short PDFs to fit the topic and context. We also design workshops to support blended learning, combining live sessions with online training for greater impact.
Every training experience is shaped for your audience, from frontline teams to leadership. Because learning should happen when and where it is needed, our solutions are flexible, available anytime, on any device, and ready to fit into everyday work.
Not Sure Where to Start? We’ve Got You!
Choosing the right learning solution can be complex. We’ve drawn on our experience to highlight the key questions and insights that can help you make a confident, informed decision.
Totara is a flexible learning and development platform (LMS) that helps organisations train their people, support performance, and encourage knowledge sharing, all in one system. Whether you’re starting from scratch or switching from another LMS, Totara gives you the control to build a solution that fits. Totara is an enterprise-grade LMS built for flexibility, scalability, and customization, aiming to deliver personalized and impactful learning experiences while supporting complex organizational needs and compliance requirements. It’s used by businesses in healthcare, finance, government, and many other industries that need to manage learning and compliance at scale.
Yes. You can start with just Totara Learn (plus Engage), the core LMS and collaboration platform, and add other modules like Totara Perform over time, or integrate Totara into your existing performance management and HRIS systems. If you’re considering switching from another system, we’ll guide you through the process step by step, including setup, data migration, and onboarding, with minimal disruption to your business.
We’re proud to be the first Totara Partner in South Africa. We also support organisations across the continent, including Botswana, Namibia, Ghana, Kenya, Zambia and beyond. If you’re based in Africa and exploring Totara, we’re well positioned to help you plan, implement and grow confidently.
We design custom digital learning content like e-learning modules, videos, quizzes and more. Our learning content is tailored to your business, your team and your goals. You get a fully packaged course that works with your existing learning system, typically in formats like SCORM or xAPI — and everything is yours to keep, update or reuse.
We can advise you on delivery options, help you choose the right tools, or even implement an LMS if you need one.
Absolutely. If you’ve got existing presentations, manuals, or even rough notes, we can turn those into polished, interactive learning experiences. Whether you’re starting from scratch or already have base training material to work from, we’ll help turn it into something engaging and effective.
Off-the-shelf courses are often too generic. We build content specifically for your business, so it feels relevant, reflects how you actually work, and delivers real results. It’s content your people will actually want to learn from.
We focus on people. We work with purpose. We care about results.
At Lateral, we bring together creative problem-solving, innovative thinking, and practical experience to solve real problems in learning and performance, always with people in mind, a clear purpose, and a focus on measurable results.
Start simple. Learn as you go. Make it better.
We believe that getting started and learning from real feedback is the best way to improve. Once something is live, we keep an eye on what is working and what is not, and we make thoughtful changes that bring better results over time.
Real collaboration, not just delivery.
We work with you, not just for you. Our team stays involved, listens closely, and helps you build something that fits how you actually work. We aim to go beyond expectations in both the process and the outcome.
Learning that makes sense.
Whether we are creating learning content or setting up your learning system, we focus on making it simple, clear, and engaging. If it helps people understand, apply, and grow, we have done our job.
We take ownership of every project we deliver.
When we commit to a project, we treat it like it is our own. That means being proactive, paying attention to the details, and caring about the outcome as much as you do. You will not have to chase us. We show up, follow through, and stay accountable.
