Our Story

Founder Tom Palmer began his career in the learning field as a trainer and curriculum developer in 2009. After a number of frustrating years dealing with the realities of low engagement and soul-sucking training events, he knew there must be a better way. 

 

When Tom got involved in a forward-thinking community of disruptive learning designers in 2013, lightbulbs began to go off. A new way of learning and working together was emerging that would save us all from the mind-numbing, spoon-fed programming, info-dump learning experiences we had all come to barely tolerate. 

 

The Continuous Learning Company was born from this experience, with the mission of helping L&D teams grow into new value-adding roles by developing capabilities and cultures of continuous learning.

 

It is our conviction that L&D as a field and as a community has the potential to become a powerful catalyst for the systemic change that is needed for us to survive and thrive on Earth.

 

Our proven approach flies in the face of many conventional talent development practices – outdated relics of our industrial past which are informed by behaviorism and the study of controlling rats in a lab.

 

To get where we are going, people can no longer be treated like lab rats, nor like soulless machines to be programmed.

 

A better way is emerging. One in which our work in L&D is helping to creating more engaging and more meaningful experiences for everyone.

 

This is the experience and the legacy we have helped our clients create.
