Learning design for organisations

Group of people gathered around a wall with blue paper, writing and discussing notes on yellow sticky notes.

Learning design is how organisations turn knowledge into understanding, and understanding into practice. I design learning formats that are thoughtful, practical, and adapted to context, rather than off-the-shelf programmes.

I’m Nick Praulins, and I design learning for organisations through workshops, facilitated sessions, and structured learning experiences.

What learning design means in practice

Good learning design isn’t about “content coverage”. It’s about:

  • what people need to understand

  • what they need to be able to do

  • what gets in the way in real organisational life

  • how to create learning people actually apply

The work often includes structure, narrative, facilitation design, and materials.

Types of learning I design

Depending on your needs, this might include:

  • workshop and session design

  • learning journeys across multiple sessions

  • facilitation guides and participant materials

  • leadership learning formats

  • internal training for communication, collaboration, and judgement

What clients typically want

Often, organisations come to learning design when:

  • important topics are being taught but not retained

  • teams are overloaded and attention is scarce

  • learning needs to travel across cultures or markets

  • there’s a gap between “knowing” and “doing”

Format & delivery

Learning formats can be:

  • online, in-person, or blended

  • short sessions or multi-part learning journeys

  • designed for leadership teams, cross-functional teams, or larger groups

FAQs

  • No. It’s not a checklist of “how country X behaves”. It’s a workshop that builds awareness and practical competence for real team situations.

  • No. This is useful wherever learning is needed: leadership, communication, team collaboration, culture work.

  • Yes, but always in service of the learning outcome, not the aesthetic.
