Human-centred, AI-enabled
Generative AI is rapidly transforming the way we work, learn and live. We recognise that this can feel overwhelming, so L&D Evolution has evolved accordingly, to help your team make sense of these advancements, whilst also developing the human-centred skills that underpin effective learning.
Generative AI is now baked into L&D Evolution and we can also run 6-monthly AI Trailblazer sessions to keep your L&D team up to speed on the latest in generative AI for L&D.
Why invest?
Why invest in your L&D team’s skills?
When an L&D team fully transforms their approach and practice, this ripples out across the organisation as a catalyst for wider change. It evolves stakeholder and learner attitudes to learning and the value of the L&D team, builds a learning culture and makes organisations more agile; better able to adapt for the future, whatever that holds.
The teams that we work with really do evolve, strengthening their organisations and making them more adaptable with:
- More engaged and active learners
- Increased impact of learning and performance projects
- Reduced time to launch for learning solutions
- A more focussed and efficient use of L&D time and budget
- Enhanced alignment with organisational goals
- Increased L&D team and individual reputation
- International awards, recognition and promotion
- Increased organisational agility

Case study
BBC Becoming Blended
We partnered with BBC Academy to create a comprehensive programme to train their trainers on our Next Generation Blended Learning and ultimately transform the learning culture at the BBC.
"The impact of Becoming Blended has far exceeded our expectations and the BBC Academy is now actively embracing blended learning. Before Becoming Blended, whilst there were some good examples, we now have trainers right across the Academy thinking differently about their content"
“Becoming Blended has created a marked change in mindset within the Academy. The programme itself very cleverly trod the fine balance between avoiding teaching staff to suck eggs whilst acknowledging that learning has changed and supporting them with how they adapt their skills for the future. The impact has been incredible, it is fantastic to see and hear the conversations happening within the teams and the stories being shared. It is equally really encouraging to see the trainers giving something new a go. We now have a team of staff who can work with us in leading the change in learning culture right across the organisation”.
How will you help our L&D team become a "strategic powerhouse"?
We elevate your L&D function by giving your people the skills to move beyond simple digital learning. This empowers them to go beyond just course production, to focus their efforts on the things that really matter to your organisation.In short - we help your L&D team become performance consultants; able to design the kind of impactful learning and behavioural change solutions we do.
Which organisations have already done the L&D Evolution + AI programme?
We have worked with large organisations in a variety of sectors to upskill and modernise their Learning & Development teams, including the BBC, all 43 UK Police Forces, Sainsburys, World Courier and Mott Macdonald.
How is the L&D Evolution + AI programme tailored to our specific team and culture?
The programme is carefully tailored to your culture, ambitions, and people. We start with a free L&D Evolution diagnostic followed by a 2-week Discovery phase where we thoroughly assess your culture, priorities, current abilities, and ambitions. This ensures the resulting series of up to six blended L&D Evolution Stages exactly meet your team’s needs.
How does the programme address AI and help our team use it effectively?
Use of AI is now baked into L&D Evolution , ensuring your team can make sense of these advancements. The programme helps them develop the human-centered skills that underpin effective learning, while also offering optional 6-monthly AI Trailblazer sessions to keep your team up to speed on the latest in generative AI for L&D.
What is the structure of the L&D Evolution +AI programme and what kind of commitment is required from our team?
L&D Evolution +AI is a multi-week facilitated programme organised into a tailored series of up to six blended ‘Evolutionary Stages’. The initial Discovery Phase determines how many of the stages your team needs - you may not need all six.
Each Stage comprises interactive virtual classrooms, digital content, practice activities, self-reflection, resources, templates and tools. This structure enables your team to benefit quickly and embed behavioural changes. Each Stage takes 1-2 weeks to complete and you should plan for your team to set aside 2-4 hours per week over the programme to attend the sessions and work on the activities.
What measurable results or impact can we expect after completing the programme?
You can expect increased impact of learning and performance projects, reduced time to launch for solutions and a more efficient use of L&D time and budget. An evolved L&D team strengthens your organisation by creating more engaged and active learners. The L&D team are better aligned with organisational goals and so their work builds organisational agility. This in turn strengthens the L&D team’s reputation and acts to safeguard their roles.
What ongoing support is available after the main Evolutionary Stages are complete?
We can provide ongoing support to help your team embed the new working practices. Options include quarterly evolution diagnostics to track behaviour embedding, 1-2-1 coaching and mentoring for leaders and regular Inspiration and AI trailblazer sessions.
