Today's learners expect more than information—they expect meaningful, relevant experiences that help them grow and adapt. Yet too often, training programs are designed from the organization's perspective rather than the learner's, leading to disengagement and wasted potential. In a rapidly changing environment, we must rethink how we approach learning design—starting not with content, but with human needs.

Design thinking offers a powerful, learner-centered framework for building training that connects, motivates, and delivers real results. Join us for a conversation on how to reframe your learning experiences to drive engagement, performance, and innovation.

In this session, we’ll discuss how to:

• Apply the core principles of design thinking to reimagine learning experiences
• Use empathy to uncover what learners really need—and what they don’t
• Implement practical, visual tools to bring clarity, collaboration, and impact to your training programs
• Register today to start designing learning that truly works—for your people and your organization
