Designing for agility in both higher ed and healthcare
Curriculum needs to move faster than content
In both university and corporate settings, I've designed learning programs that needed to stay relevant amid constant change. Academic institutions often focus on rigor and legacy, while healthcare and tech demand speed and precision. The trick is knowing that curriculum isn’t content, it’s a framework for thinking and doing. And it must flex. I’ve worked with professors steeped in theory and HR leaders needing quick ROI. Both succeed when design honors outcomes, not ownership.
Context changes, principles don’t
Whether I was guiding an LMS migration for a university or launching client-facing onboarding in healthcare, the learning challenges echoed one another. Mismatched expectations. Stakeholder overload. Time-starved learners. The solution wasn’t picking the perfect template; it was listening, testing, and iterating. The right curriculum balances foundational skill-building with just-in-time tools. In both sectors, learners need clarity, relevance, and room to grow.
Takeaway
The best curriculum isn’t static; it’s responsive, resilient, and rooted in what learners actually need to do.
