Session Overview

Human Centered Learning Design

In a world of rising complexity, cognitive diversity, and relentless change, corporate learning can no longer afford to be generic. Yugrow CEO, Kele Boakgomo challenges conventional learning design and invites HR and L&D leaders to reimagine how learning can drive meaningful, measurable change.

Drawing from behavioral science and real-world case study, Kele reveals how organisations can close the knowing–doing gap by embedding learning into the flow of work and life by personalising learning for how people actually think, feel, and grow. From designing adaptive learning systems to measuring what truly matters, like behaviour shifts, capability lift, and real-world application, this session offers a roadmap for learning that sticks, scales, and shifts culture.

You’ll walk away with:

A powerful framework to personalise learning at scale
Strategies to integrate learning into daily workflows
Whether you’re leading talent transformation, culture change, or capability building, this keynote will reshape how you see learning—and how your organisation harnesses it to thrive.

Three Key Takeaways:

  • Discover how to design learning that truly fits your people’s needs, styles, and goals.
  • Learn simple ways to shift from information delivery to real behavior change.
  • How to embed learning into the day-to-day without overwhelming teams
