Learning design

We see learning as the art of changing the brain, where high performance emerges from well-designed training programs.

At UBRIS Center, we believe that true learning is woven seamlessly into the fabric of daily work. Our ©T4HPL (Teaching for How People Learn) methodology, developed by Olimpia Mesa and inspired by the pioneering work of Dr. James E. Zull, integrates brain-based principles to align training with the natural ways people learn, retain information, and build new skills. This innovative approach isn’t just about knowledge transfer—it’s about engaging, evolving, and empowering learners in real-world contexts.

The corporate world is becoming smarter about how people learn.

The corporate world is becoming smarter about how people learn. With advances in medical technology, researchers can now look inside the brain in ways never before possible. This emerging understanding sheds light on how we are wired, how we learn, and how these processes drive behavior change. We also know that learning varies depending on an individual’s experience, expertise, and the specific context in which they operate.

Traditional training approaches often fall short when addressing today’s complex and evolving challenges. One significant opportunity for learning functions to enhance engagement, alignment, and value creation is through performance consulting.

Performance consulting involves developing a holistic strategy to improve performance. This comprehensive approach helps organizations understand and address the four key factors that influence individual and team performance: motivation, knowledge, skills, and the work environment—including the tools, resources, and organizational culture that shape daily experiences. By focusing on these elements, performance consulting supports a learning culture that drives sustained growth and transformation.

The future of learning is not training. Successful learning does not stop after the training, and neither should your learners.

The number one mistake learning professionals make today is creating content instead of creating results. Avoid it by asking yourself this crucial question when designing learning for performance: What else can I do (besides training) that will allow learners to succeed? Fast forward 90 days after the learning project—what results do you see?

At UBRIS Center, we’ve designed hundreds of corporate training programs and online academies, but our approach ensures that learning extends beyond the classroom. Our programs create an ongoing cycle of reflection, action, and growth, fully integrated into the professional environment. This brain-based methodology transforms training into a continuous journey that enhances individual and organizational potential, providing a powerful solution for today’s agile workplaces.

Learning experiences are like journeys, the journey starts where the learner is now, and ends when the learner is successful.

When mapping out the learning path, we first audit the current state of your team or organizational performance and clarify the transformation you aim to achieve. This destination, defined collaboratively, serves as our guiding star. Every piece of content we incorporate is crafted to propel learners towards this goal. At UBRIS, we use backward reasoning to explore the performance gap and start a meaningful conversation around it.

We create customized learning design solutions for complex needs

As a business leader or HR professional, the challenge you likely face is matching available training solutions on the market to the unique needs of your people and the specific nature of their work. In today’s dynamic business world, effective learning solutions extend far beyond standard training programs. Over the past ten years, we have focused on exploring diverse approaches to learning that address the real-world complexities and challenges individuals face in fast-paced environments.

We offer fully customized learning solutions tailored to the unique circumstances of your organization and teams. Our design process is collaborative, ensuring that you are involved at every step to create experiences that deliver impactful results. Our courses are cutting-edge because we work exclusively with certified instructional design professionals. With experience spanning dozens of global learning projects, we bring a wealth of expertise to every initiative.

At UBRIS Center, we specialize in creating end-to-end learning solutions that encompass everything from detailed facilitator guides to engaging participant workbooks and custom branded items, all designed to enhance the learning experience and ensure successful program delivery. Here’s how we bring this comprehensive approach to life:

Facilitator guides: We develop extensive, multi-part facilitator guides that are both informative and visually engaging. These guides provide trainers with all the tools they need to deliver programs effectively, integrating clear instructions and practical resources that are meticulously crafted through expert copywriting and graphic design.

Participant workbooks: Our workbooks are designed to provide a cohesive and branded learning experience. Each workbook incorporates exercises, reflective prompts, and concise summaries that reinforce key program concepts, making the learning experience practical and memorable for participants.

Facilitation kits: We create facilitation kits that include items like facilitation cards, metaphorical picture cards, customer scenario cards, and posters. Each item is designed with user-friendly visuals and layouts, ensuring they’re intuitive and impactful during activities. These kits span hundreds of pages and are customized to fit the program’s specific learning objectives.

Custom branded items: To reinforce the learning experience, we design and produce branded items that align with the overarching concept or metaphor of the learning program. These elements incorporate symbolic visuals, such as customer journey map symbols, to enhance both engagement and brand consistency by reflecting the program’s themes.

Expert content and print production management: We work closely with Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) to ensure content accuracy and relevance, refining details to align with industry best practices. Additionally, we oversee the printing and production processes, coordinating with logistics teams to ensure timely, high-quality delivery. This hands-on involvement ensures a seamless transition from content development to the program rollout.

Project management and stakeholder coordination: Throughout each project, we employ proactive project management, using tools like TeamGantt to meticulously plan timelines, assign tasks, and monitor progress. We provide weekly updates to stakeholders, enabling transparent communication and timely adjustments. Our approach ensures that every component meets the highest quality standards and that programs are launched successfully and on schedule.

With a commitment to precision and quality, our learning design services deliver a comprehensive, tailored, and impactful experience for both trainers and participants, setting the stage for sustainable and scalable program delivery.
