Take a guess... How much time do you invest to learn something during your week? It's a lot.

We learn all the time in order to grow as a professional, a team and an organisation.

Heck by reading this email you're learning something (hopefully).

Most learning happens organically and on the fly. Which is totally fine.

But when you deliberately want to bridge a gap in knowledge, skill or experience it's smart to design that journey.

That's where learning design comes in.

According to Andre Plaut learning should be hard but not confusing, frustrating or painful.

As you'll discover in this weeks episode there's a lot more to learning design than just coming up with training material.

It's a (strategic) design discipline that very closely related to service design.

After the conversation with Andre I got really excited about the potenial of learning design. Hope you will too.
