Strategy and Craft Aren’t Mutually Exclusive

Don’t let titles fool you. Many of mine read strategic, leadership, transformation. While true, I’ve never stepped away from the work itself. Every work sample and case study shown below represent projects I personally designed, developed, and delivered — from storyboards, development, and video to train-the-trainer, LMS configuration, and field delivery.

Strategy informs my work; craft keeps it credible.

Sample Work Products

Sample Micro-Course (Storyline 360)

Sample course developed in Articulate Storyline 360 with embedded video elements using Vyond and Camtasia Studio. It demonstrates a sample course in applying change management principles to field training projects in the construction industry.

Tools: Articulate Storyline 360, Vyond, Camtasia Studio, Miro (storyboarding), Camtasia Studio, Snagit.

Sample Storyboard (Miro)

Do I storyboard before I start development? You betcha. This is a one page snapshot of the storyboard used for one of my recent courses. I typically flow these out using Miro.

In keeping with my philosophy to start small, launch lean, prove value, and to scale what works: I start with storyboard sketches to review with stakeholders before scaling to course development.

Tools: Miro, Snagit

Sample Micro-Course (Rise 360)

This work sample showcases a self-paced micro-course created to illustrate how change management practices were applied in a real project for an international construction company. Designed as a leadership-level overview, the course highlights the importance of integrating change management practices into project planning.

Tools: Articulate Rise 360, Miro (storyboarding), Camtasia Studio, Canva, Snagit.

Use Cases and Case Studies

Build-Measure-Learn Framework for Internal Learning Programs

It’s not uncommon for L&D teams to launch “finished” courses and wait months for results while following a waterfall development process. Build-Measure-Learn is a development option that focuses on short cycles to launch a minimal, job-tied learning experience and iterate quickly so leaders see movement and scale only what works. This framework shows how we aligned on success metrics, instrumented the experience, ran rapid debriefs, and rolled improvements forward.

AI-Enabled Roleplay

This experience demonstrates a use case where AI is used to enhance a roleplay exercise. This example uses the use case of practicing emotionally intelligent conversations. It can be customized for other use cases, including: capturing institutional knowledge by “interviewing” retiring SMEs, sales, difficult conversations, etc.

The widget is active (try it!) and uses a Zapier chatbot layer with an API to ChatGPT for AI processing. (Other AI platforms are supported.) The chat layer can be embedded in various venues including: webpages, Sharepoint pages, self-paced LMS courses, Slack chats, or similar platforms.

AI-Enabled Prompt Sandbox

This experience was developed in support of a training program in an organizational AI adoption initiative. It demonstrates a practice environment that new users of generative AI can use following a hybrid (live / self-paced) foundations course for AI Fundamentals.
(See also Note 1 below.)

This sandbox allows learners an opportunity to practice writing effective prompts and receive feedback in a “safe space.”

It uses a rubric to grade the user’s attempts. The rubric uses weighted scores for a prompt framework comprising elements that consider the AI’s role, goal, audience, context, constraints, examples, and output format.

Note 1: I’m experienced in developing and delivering courses in any modality (i.e., live, virtual, self-paced, or hybrid).

AI Adoption Framework

I began drafting this AI Adoption Framework in 2023 during my tenure at UKG, a global SaaS company with 15,000 employees.

It isn’t intended to replace your organization’s current adoption strategy if it already has one. It’s included here only to show my understanding of the strategic objectives of your AI Enablement leadership team and my readiness to support it.

Meanwhile, the video below (click the image!) walks you through a sample Change Management/Adoption dashboard using Prosci Proxima. This dashboard can be made available to your team, if desired.

Accelerating Learning at an International Construction Firm

The traditional course development cycle at this international construction company spanned 8 to 12 months—too slow to meet the urgent needs of a water facility enhancement project in Colorado. Project leaders needed a solution that could prepare engineers with field-relevant, hands-on skills in weeks, not months. Here’s how we did it in 8 weeks.

Aligning Instructional Development Methods in a Decentralized Enterprise

In a decentralized construction enterprise, training development was fragmented—corporate L&D followed a traditional waterfall model, while field teams demanded rapid, just-in-time enablement to support high-priority self-perform work. With no shared system to guide methodology or prioritization, course development was often delayed, misaligned, or overengineered for field realities.
