TrailBlazer Learning Academy – Governance Expertise Meets Real-World Impact

For more than 25 years, Maura and Lee, founders of TrailBlazer Consulting, LLC, have worked side-by-side with organizations across some of the most complex and regulated industries in the world — including retail, healthcare, energy, and financial services.

They weren’t just advising from the sidelines.
They were in the systems.
In the audits.
In the investigations.
In the boardrooms.

They saw firsthand how information, contracts, and compliance either protect an organization — or expose it.

That real-world experience is what led to the creation of TrailBlazer Learning Academy, Inc.

The Academy exists for one reason:
To give organizations and professionals direct access to proven governance expertise — without the cost and friction of traditional consulting.

Turning Decades of Experience into Scalable Learning

Most training programs teach concepts.

TrailBlazer teaches how things actually work.

Every TrailBlazer module is built from the same frameworks, workflows, and governance models that Maura and Lee have implemented for Fortune 1000 organizations — now delivered in a format that is practical, structured, and easy to apply.

TrailBlazer Learning Academy helps organizations:

• Navigate the growing complexity of enterprise data

• Meet regulatory and legal accountability standards

• Build defensible, auditable information programs

• Improve operational efficiency without increasing risk

This is not theoretical compliance.
This is operational governance.

Inside the Contract Lifecycle Management (CLM) Module

One of TrailBlazer’s flagship offerings is the Contract Lifecycle Management (CLM) Module — designed to help organizations bring order, visibility, and control to one of their most critical assets: contracts.

Contracts impact:

• Revenue

• Risk

• Compliance

• Vendor relationships

• Legal exposure

Yet many organizations still manage them through email, shared drives, and disconnected systems.

TrailBlazer’s CLM module provides a clear, structured path forward.

It includes:

✔ CLM Foundations
Definitions, use cases, and the business case for adopting CLM

✔ Pre-CLM Readiness Analysis
Stakeholder questionnaires and readiness assessments that surface risks before technology is selected

✔ Contract Process Catalogs
Mapped workflows for how contracts are requested, drafted, approved, executed, and renewed

✔ Requirements & Vendor Evaluation Tools
Sample requirements documents and scoring frameworks to ensure the right CLM solution is chosen

Designed for Real-World Implementation

Each lesson is built to be deep enough to matter — and short enough to fit into real workdays.

• Individual lessons run 45–60 minutes

• The full CLM module can be completed in approximately 5 hours

• Learners walk away with templates, frameworks, and tools they can use immediately

This is not passive learning.
This is implementation-ready training.
