When people talk about virtual learning, the conversation almost always comes back to the tools: the platform, the breakout rooms, the polls, the chat function. But hereʼs the paradox; having the right tools doesnʼt guarantee engagement. Some of the most feature-rich virtual sessions end up feeling the flattest. Everyone clicks, types, and reacts on cue – yet no real connection …
When it comes to building high-performing teams, culture isnʼt just a buzzword. Culture is the invisible thread that weaves employees together, connecting them and showing them how your organisation ticks. Yet, too often, onboarding focuses purely on processes, tools, and compliance, leaving new hires to figure out the organisationʼs culture on their own. This is where culture carriers come in: employees who embody your values and help newcomers navigate, adopt, …
For decades, most companies have organised work around fixed job titles and rigid roles – but research shows this jobs-based model can actually hold back agility, innovation and inclusion. In a skills-based organisation, by contrast, each role is defined by the skills and competencies needed, not just a title. As Deloitte puts it, forward-thinking firms are placing “skills, more than jobs, at …
What happens when you throw out the rulebook—and let teams take a gamble on how they learn? At DCo, we’ve always believed that real learning happens at the edge of uncertainty. So we asked ourselves: what would happen if we built a learning lab where teams had to choose between two risky paths—and live with the consequences? This is a …

Imagine this. You walk into a workplace and see: No, it’s not Manchester City. It’s a high-performing organisation where learning isn’t a side activity – it’s the strategy. At DCo, we believe that in today’s business landscape, where disruption is constant and change is fast, learning isn’t just an HR initiative. It’s your most powerful competitive advantage. Talent is the baseline. Performance is …
Every training session carries a silent subtext. Beyond slides and handouts, participants soak up unspoken signals – the invisible curriculum of tone, space and attitude. In education, this means “unstated norms, policies, and expectations…often not taught explicitly” – from how we speak and behave to how we structure discussions. The facilitator’s demeanor, seating arrangements, or even background music become as much part …
If your Learning Experience Platform (LXP) needs weekly “campaigns” just to get people to log in, it’s not alive. It’s undead. And let’s be honest – most LXPs have shuffled into zombie territory. They stagger along, bloated with content, unresponsive to their surroundings, and largely ignored by the living. What began as a promise to revolutionise workplace learning has turned …
Imagine this: your brain, weighing just over 1.3 kilograms, is running your business. Not your CV, not your KPIs, not your LinkedIn photo with the arms-crossed power pose—just your brain. Every decision you make, every “Let’s take this offline,” and every time you stop yourself firing off a passive-aggressive email—your brain is in charge. So what is the issue? Most …
Walk into any modern office and you’ll likely find a Baby Boomer deciphering Microsoft Teams, a Gen Z’er sending memes in the group chat, and a Millennial halfway through their third oat flat white of the day.
