I help people & organisations to:

LEARN

INNOVATE

PERFORM

Hi! My name’s Arun Pradhan. I’m an experienced learning & performance professional, having developed performance solutions and learning strategies for some of Australia’s largest and most forward-thinking companies.
I was recognised by the AITD as Australia’s Learning Professional of the Year in 2017 and I’ve developed an international reputation, particularly for my work in enabling learning agility and using design thinking to co-design innovative performance solutions.
I have broad experience in emerging technologies and am an unashamed geek when it comes to cognitive psychology, behavioural economics, marketing and anything that provides insights into how people think, behave and change. Importantly, I’m adept at translating my diverse tech and geek knowledge into impactful strategies.
In addition to consulting, I’m also the Founder of www.Learn2LearnApp.com , an enterprise-wide solution to help develop a culture of learning and innovation.
Can I contribute to your work, challenges and goals? Please contact me via the form on this page and let’s chat.
Thanks,

My Take on Skills for the Future of Work
(aka. Survival Skills for the Robot Apocolypse)

In this era of accelerated change, people will be challenged to continually reinvent themselves and develop more ‘human’ skills such as empathy and creative collaboration.

Developing Innovation
For me, design thinking is about:

STARTING WITH EMPATHY

DESIGNING COLLABORATIVELY


TO CO-CREATE INNOVATIVE END-TO-END EXPERIENCES

AND FAILING FAST
I can use a traditional design thinking approach or a customised process that I’ve specifically developed for learning and development challenges. Let’s discuss what best suits your context and organisation.
Learning in a High Performance Ecosystem

My approach considers the full ecosystem as a means to enable learning and high performance.
