The Learning and Performance Institute (LPI) and Overlap today announced a strategic partnership that significantly expands the LPI’s reach in high-growth Iberian and Latin American markets, whilst enhancing Overlap’s position as a provider of business transformation services to the learning industry. The agreement is expected to spark increased innovation and opportunity by leveraging sales and marketing talents and resources at both companies while driving scale and efficiency in the partners' respective supply chains.

The partnership agreement enables Overlap to sell and deliver the LPI's industry-leading accreditation, certification and 'Learning Programmes of Excellence' solutions to its customers in Spain, Portugal, and Latin American countries, in step with the ongoing development of its business transformation services.

The partnership is a strong strategic fit:

Firstly, the LPI's mission is to empower workplace learning organisations and professionals to improve business performance and build capability. It does this through a range of products and services that cover membership, certification, accreditation, events, awards, networks and consulting.

Secondly, Overlap's aim is to transform overall business performance by upskilling employees with learning products and services that have a positive impact on individual performance.

By creating the partnership with Overlap, the LPI can now look to bring about significant performance improvement for businesses in the Iberian and Latin American markets.


“Today’s announcement with Overlap is another solid step in our mission to provide the global learning market with practical solutions for business performance improvement through effective learning,” said Edmund Monk, CEO, LPI.
“The relationship with Overlap represents a powerful opportunity for the LPI to significantly expand its presence in Iberia and Latin America, both vibrant and important markets. Overlap has clearly demonstrated its ambition to continually improve business performance while focusing on providing an excellent service for its client base. As such, they represent the ideal organisation to spearhead new business opportunity within the Spanish and Portuguese-speaking L&D market.
"The LPI's well-established and respected accreditation and certification programmes clearly show the impact of learning on individual and organisational performance, so I am looking forward to hearing new success stories and seeing new case studies from Overlap customers benefitting from these programmes."

Speaking about the reseller relationship, Overlap's Group HR Director, Antonio Rubio said: "The partnership between the LPI and Overlap brings the LPI's flagship programmes to the Spanish and Portuguese-speaking market, creating huge opportunity to raise the profile of L&D organisations, and to recognise and empower the best professionals in the training industry."
