Experiential learning is at my core. This idea has been around since Aristotle, and the need for humans to learn by doing is never going to change. Through experience design and the art of facilitation, I aim to create space and time where people can learn, change, and grow.
Learning has to happen in the flow of work. All learning experiences for organisations need to have a clear impact and justify the investment. By embedding the learning in the work, we can make sure that change starts happening immediately.
It's essential to build from some simple learning science principles. This means considering concepts like spaced repetition, cognitive load management, transfer-appropriate processing, embodied cognition, and social learning.
Of course I'm also using AI extensively in my workflow. Building custom GPTs and Copilots for clients to speed up routine tasks. Using image and video generators to get better assets, faster. And training my own LxD AI sidekick.
Finally, a solid design methodology underpins the way I work. End-to-end, this is how I'd build a new experience. First we will Define the problem and the metrics we can track. Then talk to people to Discover their needs and pains. Then we can Design an experience with stakeholders including the target audience. Next we Develop prototypes to test concepts. And finally Deliver the full experience. To close the loop, we Iterate with data to learn and adapt for next time.
For me, a day rate model is the simplest and clearest way to arrive at a figure for your investment. We scope the collaboration then estimate days. I track time and update regularly.
Day rates range between £600/$750 and £3,000/$3,700 depending on the client, length of time, etc.
