From Engagement to Impact: How to Design Learning That Drives Real Results

Webinar | April 23, 2026 | 11 AM CET

Many learning initiatives start with content, and then we wonder why nothing really changes. Real learning isn't just about getting people in the room. It's about creating the conditions where people feel safe, seen, and motivated to grow together.

Emotions are at the heart of how people learn. When we design without accounting for how people feel, we lose them before the session even ends. This matters even more in enablement, where L&D partners with experts to co-create programs. That's where L&D's real value shows up: not as a content producer, but as the person who brings the frameworks that turn a training into an experience people genuinely want to be part of.

And there's a reason people value what they help build. The IKEA effect shows that when people have a hand in creating something, they're more invested in it. When learners help shape their own experience, engagement isn't something you have to chase, it's already built in. And as AI takes on more content creation, L&D teams have a real opportunity to focus on what drives impact: learning built around human interaction, emotion, and dialogue.

Join us for a session with Lavinia Mehedintu, Learning Architect and Co-Founder of Offbeat, as she shares how to use experience design frameworks, including practical co-creation tools, to create learning experiences people genuinely want to be part of. Together, we'll explore how to shift from content-first to experience-first design, where people don't just show up, but connect, learn from each other, and take that learning back into their work.

What you'll take away:

  • Designing for emotion, connection, and impact: How to use experience design frameworks to address the emotional layer of learning and build the psychological safety needed for active participation and lasting learning transfer.

  • The power of co-creation with participants and SMEs:How to use co-creation tools to build learning experiences people feel ownership over, whether you're designing with subject matter experts or the learners themselves.

  • From "extra work" to embedded learning: Practical ways to connect learning directly to real-world challenges and workflows, so it feels essential, not optional.

  • AI as a facilitation partner: How to use AI not just to create content, but to support dialogue, surface insights, and reinforce learning so there's more room for the conversations and connections that make learning stick.
