Simon Greany
Chief Product Officer of Elucidat
A creative learning design professional with 15 years experience in the industry. Passionate about working with organisations to open up the vast potential of online learning. Currently working with clients of Elucidat, sharing extensive experience in the industry to support learning strategies and to drive-up standards. I know from experience that when digital learning is designed properly, it has the ability to motivate, inspire and change behaviour. This means constantly re-evaluating what it is we do, to capitalise on the latest advances in technology and to find brand new communication methods. Previously I ran a successful and award winning creative agency called Make Sense Design for 9 years which created high quality bespoke learning experiences, whether it was through ‘modern’ e-learning, micro learning, online games, diagnostics or learning portals. Our speciality was in designing short, focussed experiences which either acted as standalone learning modules, or as part of a wider campaign. I am really interested in what happens before or after a piece of online learning, to create effective tools and launchpads into other forms of learning. My aim is always to create an engaging online experience that gets people talking, makes the learner feel valued and which makes an audience look at things in a new way. I do this by listening to our clients, understanding their target audience, and putting my knowledge and experience to work on strategies that improve learner engagement and change the way our clients and partners think about the potential of online learning.
