Guroo Learning was founded in 2016, when Josh Humphries, Adam Steff and Daniel Steff left their day jobs to focus on their goal of creating engaging, high-impact and transformative learning experiences. They were soon followed by Donna Hanson-Squires and a team of passionate experts on their quest to reinvent the way we learn at work and to help organisations and people reach their full potential.

Starting in Sydney with a handful of committed clients, Guroo now has an office in Melbourne and clients around the world.

How are we reinventing learning at work?

Data-driven Learning

Traditionally, learning data has focused on a single metric - course completion. But this approach only reveals a small part of the performance and outcomes of your learning. With more in-depth data, you can track the goals that matter the most, linking learning performance with real-world results.
Measuring the true impact of your learning encourages a cycle of ongoing improvement and ensures that you are delivering outcomes.
data-driven-learning

Adaptive Learning

The best learning takes individuals into account. Learners come to their learning as people first – to be successful, learning should accommodate their previous knowledge, their unique motivations and their distinct goals.
Instead of offering ‘one size fits all’ learning, we believe in taking the time to understand who your learners are, what they want to achieve and how we can support them. With Adaptive Learning, personalisation can be built into the structure of a learning experience, delivering focused support at scale across an organisation.
adaptive-learning

Action Learning

For learning to drive lasting change and improve performance, it needs to be work-integrated. Too often, learning focuses on content, with little thought given to how new skills can be developed and transferred into workplace performance.

Action learning gives learners opportunities to practice their skills, linking learning to real-world tasks and supporting learners as they implement their new skills into their role, encouraging lasting workplace change.

Learning Expertise

Every organisation’s needs are unique. For each client, we work to develop a learning solution that will help to achieve your goals. Our studio team have worked to deliver successful learning solutions across a range of industries, giving you access to the learing design expertise to get the best results from your learning program.

Agile Learning

In the changing work environment, organisations need ways to respond to challenges with meaningful learning in record time.

Our software and our services are designed to streamline learning production. From scoping to design to delivery and optimisation, both Guroo’s in-house Studio team and our software are focussed on agile ways of working that deliver timely results.
