The Shiftology Academy
During our years of designing and delivering learning, and working with countless learners and clients, we have distilled what we see achieves true learning, again and again, down to five key ingredients. Equally relevant to designers, trainers, SMEs, and learners themselves, these ingredients are grounded in respected learning psychology and our own research.
nail the need
The best learning doesn’t start with ideas and content but with an obsessive focus on the learner, their real need, the context in which they’re learning, and the really curious questions they need answered.
master the content
Those needs and questions are best answered by content that is unswervingly credible, practical to use, and sifted for the very best gems.
find the flow
We maximise learning when it sweeps us along. It’s engaging, the right things are highlighted, and everything connects.
create magic
More “I will always remember that” moments are created when we break the mould, target energy and interaction which goes well above the ‘everyday’, give opportunities for achievement, stretch learners beyond their comfort zone, and pay attention to magical details.
take it further
Learning readily makes it off the page (or slide) and into practice and new habits when we work with their real barriers and reactions, make realistic plans and create materials they’re desperate to come back to.
We offer ‘train the – ‘ sessions for designers, trainers, subject matter experts looking to introduce their topic to new audiences, and learners themselves on how to make the most of these ingredients to boost learning. We offer everything from deep dive, practical masterclasses to short skills-builds attached to specific programmes.
