Learning Power for...
Performance
Welcome to the home of Digital Learning Journeys.
Where learning together is inside out, sustainable, measurable, self-directed and aligned to a purpose that matters.
WHat we do
Established Leaders in Learning
WILD's Learning Power profile helps people to understand how they typically approach new learning opportunities and, through self-reflection and coaching-for-learning, turn that experience into strategies for change and knowledge building in any learning journey.
We are the originators of the Learning Power measurement model, developed over 23 years of research. Our team specialise in learning design, consultancy and coaching-for-learning to facilitate self leadership, learning relationships and complex problem solving capabilities with individuals and teams. These are critical 'meta skills' for resilience mindsets and adaptive capacity for sustainable futures.
We work with personal learning journeys and with organisations using agile methodologies to align personal purpose with business strategy, contributing measurably to organisational change.
Our Learning Journey Web App can 'wrap around' any project, providing analytics and practical support for future skills development on the job. With child and adult versions and multiple languages and tones of voice, our work is scalable. We provide rapid feedback of diagnostic learning analytics for individual learners and aggregated, anonymised data for leadership and organisational decision making.
We equip learning professionals to do things differently and build in house capability for leaders, teams and practitioners.

First Nations - Diversity and Inclusion
“I actually like all the animals because they’re really good… I reckon the Willy Wagtail because when we do our Aboriginal dancing.. it says like always try new things out which I like. It’s like putting your body on the line... in football you have to try it out……like in Maths, like when we do our exams, if I don’t know a question just give it a try, don’t give up”.
Kel 16 year old student
'Transformation only happens in the presence of story, myth and image'
Carl Jung
The language of learning power has many forms and is best developed and owned in cultural contexts.
Using music, movement, story and image is a powerful way of connecting with diverse communities.
It's a play book, not a rule book.
