Practitioner playbooks on the L&D craft. Backward Design, ADDIE, SAM, Kirkpatrick, AI-augmented production, evaluation, reinforcement — written from twenty years on the floor for the team of one, the SMB L&D manager, and the independent training consultant.
Course Design
How to Build a Course Outline (Before You Waste Time on Content)

Team of One
L&D Team of One: The 6-System Stack That Replaces the Department You Don't Have
The six systems an L&D team of one actually needs — needs analysis, design, production, delivery, evaluation, reinforcement — built on Backward Design, ADDIE, and Kirkpatrick, written for the practitioner.
