Our lab focuses on how empathetic design-based thinking can improve learning and development (L&D) initiatives in global organizations working across cultures, developing a diverse workforce, and sometimes in support of marginalized groups. We are interested in addressing organizational development needs or opportunities, with the efficient and effective design of workplace learning technology, to deliver better results. We use a variety of methods (e.g., interviews, questionnaires, surveys, extant data) to understand these needs or opportunities, and employ evidence-based interventions, to support L&D or change performance. We endeavor to support learning and development (L&D) professionals working in business (i.e, for profit and nonprofit), government, military, and nongovernmental, organizations to practice effective design of workplace learning interventions and performance systems, which meet the needs of an increasingly diverse and global workforce.
