Government agencies invest in training that doesn't build capability. I redesign the architecture that does.

Most organisations have a training problem they think is about content. It isn't. It's about architecture — the structural conditions in which capability development either happens or doesn't.

Learning System Architecture

Diagnosing why your learning system isn't producing the capability outcomes you're investing in — then redesigning the architecture so it does.

The methodology — VET-Intelligence — assesses learning systems across six dimensions: assessment design, work integration, measurement, mentorship, technology, and culture.

  • Learning system maturity assessment and diagnostic
  • Onboarding and workflow-integrated design
  • Competency framework development
  • Mentorship system architecture
  • Learning analytics infrastructure

Redesigning onboarding architecture at NDIA's Contact Centre Branch to embed learning directly into workflow — producing a measurable reduction in time-to-proficiency across 2,000+ staff.

Government Workforce Transformation

Supporting agencies through digital transformation, regulatory change, and organisational restructure with capability-first change enablement.

Government agencies face a specific version of the capability problem. The standard approach — train people on the new system — consistently underperforms.

  • Change enablement and capability architecture
  • Cultural safety as learning system design
  • Closing the Gap workforce implementation
  • Assessment framework design for regulated workforces

Building learning infrastructure at ACQSC that turned regulatory compliance requirements into capability development opportunities during major aged care policy reform.

How engagements work

Discovery conversation — no charge, no obligation. Thirty minutes to understand the problem and scope what an engagement would look like.

Project-based

A defined scope with clear deliverables. Typical engagements run 4–12 weeks.

Embedded consulting

Working alongside your team, typically 1–2 days per week. Best for transformation programs.

Advisory

Periodic sessions to review architecture decisions or quality-assure learning design work.

Day rate: $1,500 (ex GST)

Half-day at 60%. Weekly retainers for embedded work. The rate reflects specialist depth, not generalist availability.
