Engaging Learning that Works

Using the Learning Sciences, I help higher ed, corporations, and learning teams create engaging learning that works.

E-learning and Face-to-Face

Using Systems and Design Thinking, I also help organizations form strategic visions and plans for the future.

My Approach

I’ve worked at Universities in Canada and the USA, managed a College Centre for Distance Education, and, with my business partner, led my own learning business (Standing Stones). Based on this successful experience…

I believe in the ability of collaborative minds, focused on the same purpose, to create breakthrough solutions and take action.

I believe in a positive future too. There is always more to learn.

Inside Outside Onward.
What’s that?

It’s my model of Organizational Research & Innovation developed over thirty years of experience. Influenced by Learning Sciences, Systems Thinking and Design Thinking, it helps make priority projects work.
