Ludic Learning

Build capability that changes how people work.

Ludic Learning designs and delivers human-centered learning experiences for leaders, teams and global workforces. The goal is not to complete a course — it is to build the knowledge, skills and confidence people need to perform differently in the moments that matter.

Learning experiences

Designed around how people actually learn.

Every experience we design combines four principles.

  • Learning in the flow of work

    Connect learning directly to the challenges people are already facing. Participants apply ideas to their own business context so capability develops alongside the work rather than separately from it.

  • Experiential learning

    Give people opportunities to practice. Scenarios, simulations, activities, business challenges and feedback turn knowledge into something people can confidently apply.

  • Social learning

    Create a cohort, not just an audience. People learn from experts, coaches, peers and one another through learning teams, communities and collaborative activity throughout the journey.

  • Engagement and motivation

    Design the experience to keep people participating. Thoughtful communication, community animation, nudges, recognition and gamification help maintain momentum over weeks and months.

From individual moments to complete learning journeys.

We design engaging learning experiences by combining different learning components around the objective, audience and context. A program might include a handful of these or connect many of them across a journey lasting several months.

  • Workshops and webinars

    Live learning experiences delivered virtually or in person by Ludic Faculty, internal experts or guest specialists.

  • Business challenges

    Real organizational problems used as part of the learning journey, allowing participants to apply new capability while creating value for the business.

  • AI & technology

    Bring AI tools, apps and learning platforms into the journey. We develop specific prompts that support practice, role-playing and application, work with your own internal platforms, or deliver the whole experience through SmartLab.

  • Faculty and learning networks

    Put the right people around the learner. A learning network can include expert mentors, one-to-one coaches, peer cohorts, line managers, learning buddies, action learning teams, pods and communities and discussion spaces.

  • Individual and group activities

    Structured exercises that help participants explore, practice and apply new ideas independently and together.

  • eLearning

    Engaging self-paced modules that make learning accessible across locations, schedules and devices.

  • Quizzes and scenario-based learning

    Interactive assessments and realistic scenarios that let learners test understanding, make decisions and receive feedback.

  • Job aids

    Practical tools and resources designed for the moment people need them at work.

  • Discussion and reflection

    Forums, questionnaires and structured conversation that give cohorts space to share experience, ask questions and learn from one another.

Where to start

Start with the capability you need to build.

Sometimes the need is clear. Sometimes the first task is understanding where capability is missing and what is getting in the way. Ludic can start in either place.

Do you know what you need?

Start with a diagnostic.

We use interviews, surveys, focus groups and other diagnostic methods to understand the capabilities your people need, where current confidence or performance falls short, and what kind of learning intervention will make the biggest difference.

  • Interviews

    Speak with leaders, managers and the people doing the work to understand the challenges, expectations and capability gaps from different perspectives.

  • Surveys and diagnostics

    Assess confidence, capability and behavior across a wider population to create a clearer picture of where development is needed.

  • Focus groups

    Explore how roles actually work in practice and identify the moments where people need more knowledge, skill or support.

Build the experience around the need.

We can create something entirely bespoke, adapt existing learning or combine both. Many of the strongest programs use established content as a foundation and bespoke learning where the organization’s context, language or challenge requires it.

Bespoke, or ready to run?

Three ways to make it yours.

  • Create

    We develop new learning content with Ludic Faculty and subject-matter experts around your objectives and context.

  • Transform

    Bring us your existing expertise, materials or curriculum and we turn it into a more engaging learning experience.

  • Adapt

    Use Ludic learning content as a foundation, tailored to your organization, audience and brand.

Ready-to-use learning across core capability areas.

Ludic learning content can be delivered as individual modules, workshops, libraries or complete journeys — face to face, virtually or through SmartLab.

  • Digital and AI skills

    Digital leadership, digital awareness, data and AI-enabled ways of working.

  • Business and commercial skills

    Strategy, sales, negotiation, business partnering, lean, project management and performance management.

  • Leadership and personal effectiveness

    Leadership, change, culture, innovation, design thinking, communication, influence and curiosity.

  • Business partnering

    Help functional experts become trusted partners to the business. Programs develop the commercial, strategic and interpersonal capabilities people need to move beyond functional expertise and create greater value with stakeholders.

  • Onboarding

    Create scalable onboarding experiences that introduce people to the organization through exploration, interaction and connection rather than static information. Our approaches can combine immersive environments, real locations, multimedia, manager connection and progress tracking.

One environment for learning at scale.

SmartLab Learning is Ludic’s digital experience platform for structured, social and experiential learning. It connects content, live sessions, activities, community, coaching and measurement into one learning journey — supporting global cohorts across locations and time zones.

Programs can run through SmartLab or integrate with an existing learning ecosystem.

  • One platform, multiple ways to learn

    Combine self-directed, group and team learning with live experiences, on-demand content and real-world application.

  • Personalized journeys

    Create flexible learning pathways shaped around role, experience, objectives and schedule.

  • Cohorts and community

    Connect learners through teams, discussion, peer learning, community activities, gamification, notifications and nudges.

  • Measurement and feedback

    Track participation, assessment, confidence and learner feedback in real time so the program can evolve while it is running.

Beyond the learning

Great learning needs an experience around it.

Strong content alone does not create participation. We can support the learning journey with communications, creative content and ongoing engagement that builds anticipation, maintains momentum and gives the program a clear identity.

  • Communications and engagement

    Launch the experience, explain why it matters and maintain participation throughout the journey with a coordinated engagement campaign.

  • Design and film

    Our in-house creative teams produce the visual and multimedia content that makes learning memorable — from film, animation and infographics to rich pictures, toolkits and campaign assets.
