Learning design and independent people support

Louise has designed and built eLearning courses accessed by more than 6,000 learners worldwide, alongside online learning events and communities of practice. That work was about sharing learning across a whole system and helping colleagues feel more confident and able to take action themselves.

Learning design work can include:

• Bespoke eLearning modules and full courses
• Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) where learning needs to reach a large, dispersed audience
• Blended programmes combining self-paced learning with live facilitated sessions
• Online learning events, webinars and communities of practice
• Learning that supports culture change specifically — helping people understand what good looks like and what to do on Monday morning

The approach starts with what people need to be able to do differently, then works backwards to the shortest, clearest route there. Accessibility and inclusion are designed in from the start rather than checked at the end.

Louise combines senior HR and organisational development credibility — MA, FCIPD, ILM7, with more than 18 years in senior NHS leadership — with genuine learning design experience and a deep understanding of how culture and process affect each other.

That combination matters here. An investigation handled without cultural awareness can resolve a complaint and damage a team. Learning designed without organisational understanding gets completed and ignored. Yew Thrive treats both as culture work, because that is what they are.
