We’re excited to launch Unpacked, a new content series designed to explore the pathways that make learning programs truly effective. Every edition dives into frameworks, tools, and strategies, showing not just what they are, but how they create measurable impact for learners and organizations. Our goal is to provide practical insights teams can apply immediately, while also showing the bigger picture of how learning connects to performance and results.
What makes Unpacked different?
We focus on the ideas and decisions that shape learning ecosystems, helping L&D professionals navigate the maze from concept to implementation. Whether it’s understanding how Totara features can personalize learning, or how measurement frameworks like OKRs link development to business outcomes, Unpacked shows how to translate strategy into action.
Our First Two Series
Unpacked: Totara Thursdays – Each week we take a deep dive into one Totara feature, exploring how it supports modern learning strategy. This series shows how technology can help teams deliver engaging, personalized, and high-impact learning experiences.
Unpacked: Measuring What Matters – In a biweekly series, we focus on how to measure learning success. From measurement frameworks and OKRs to ROI and analytics, this series helps L&D teams connect programs to real business value and prove their impact.
Why start with these two?
By launching with these foundational series, we can immediately provide value to L&D professionals through both practical technology insights and strategic measurement guidance. Later phases, including webinars, workshops, and masterclasses, will expand the Unpacked ecosystem, but for now, we want readers to become familiar with these core areas before introducing additional formats.
Every edition of Unpacked is grounded in real-world applications. Our goal is to help you see how thoughtful design, smart use of technology, and evidence-driven approaches increase engagement, retention, and organizational impact. Unpacked is where strategy meets practice, pathways meet results, and learning programs are revealed in their full strategic context.
Stay tuned for our upcoming posts and get ready to explore learning in a way that connects ideas to impact.
