I design learning that people finish and apply at work. I build on the science of adult learning and bring in AI wherever it makes the result stronger.
What I stand for
I speak at industry and research conferences, corporate universities, on the radio and on podcasts. My main topic right now is AI in corporate learning.
Invite me to speak →Education is a social elevator
Good learning changes a person’s path: their profession, income and the people around them. That is why learning quality is a matter of principle for me. A weak course shuts that door.
AI in every learning program
AI will reach every corner of learning; the only question is where to place it and how. Simulators, personal learning tracks, programs built in weeks: AI delivers results where a methodologist has built it in.
Employees learn on their own tasks
The adult brain saves energy and drops anything it sees no use for in its work. So at the center of a program I put the employee’s real work task, practice and simulators, and the result is measured in their work.
AI in learning: how everything will change
Which formats will disappear and which will emerge, what AI will take over from teachers and methodologists, and what companies should do right now.
How adults learn
Andragogy in plain words: motivation, the fear of making mistakes in front of a group, and why people quit even an expensive course halfway.
How to teach adults effectively
From a business goal to new employee behavior: practice, AI simulators and measuring results right on the job.
