    Medium

    At the beginning of February, I attended ATD Techknowledge, a learning and development technology conference. During the conference, an impromptu hackathon came to life, and I was baited by Megan Torrance, of Torrance Learning, to join the competition. The challenge: create an AI boyfriend for Megan. My competitive superego finds it arduous to decline such a match - so I was game. I had less than 16 hours to create my masterpiece(s).

  • Design Thinking for LX(D): a Workshop in a Book

    Amazon

    In 2021, a worldwide pandemic shut the world down completely. As the world re-opened, many businesses were forced to rethink their business strategies, and our daily activities at work were greatly impacted.

    In 2021, a worldwide pandemic shut the world down completely. As the world re-opened, many businesses were forced to rethink their business strategies, and our daily activities at work were greatly impacted. The way we work changed and we now have a "new normal." This means we need to also rethink the value of training and preparing individuals to be productive and successful in the new normal. Learning and development teams are now focused on figuring out how to improve previous learning experiences as well as future learning initiatives.

    This recent surge in process reevaluation has resulted in a significant increase in requests for design thinking workshops. However, time constraints and life make it hard for many to attend a design thinking class or workshop. So, I decided that to create this workbook to give everyone that wants to learn design thinking the opportunity to do so.
