Back to original languageAbout Kai
I help L&D managers and trainers design their live online sessions to create real learning transfer, not just completion numbers.
As a Learning Experience Design Consultant, I combine academic depth (PhD, Stanford d.school, Design Thinking by Jon Kolko) with 15+ years of practice in international corporate contexts. My approach: Behavior doesn't change through information, but through the design of the learning experience itself.
I work with L&D teams in medium and large companies who know their training could be better and are ready to adapt the design for it.
