What if the course wasn't the learning?
​
Imagine leadership development, compliance and workplace learning delivered as short podcast episodes.
​
Each episode takes less than five minutes. Each one ends with something practical to do.
The learning happens on the floor, in the office and in real conversations.
Not apart from work.Part of it.

Most workplace learning doesn't work

so I stopped building courses.
now I design things that change what people do.
​
took completion from 20% to 80%.
No chasing,
No tests,
Just better design
Not courses. different problems. different formats. same idea.
make it something people actually use.

how I work (and why it’s different)

​I’m autistic. My brain skips the obvious and goes straight to the problem.
I don’t ask what this should look like.
I ask: "what’s getting in the way?" "what’s stopping this from happening?"
​
most of the time, there’s a gap.
between what people say they want and what’s actually blocking it.
​
sometimes it’s the system.
sometimes it’s the process.
sometimes it’s culture.
​
and culture is the bit nobody wants to point at.
especially not in an e-learning brief.
​
So I build things people use.
simple.
hard to ignore.
something that fits into the day.
