Services I offer
SAP, Dynamics, a new process or Copilot. Every new system pays off only when people use it in their daily work.
The licence is paid on day one. The value comes when people can do their real work with it. I build the learning and practice layer that gets them there, end to end: change, training, e-learning and practice on the job, as one package.
For organisations and managers
"Your people have had the AI training. They still don't use it in their work."
Each team tries AI on a few real tasks every week, inside clear rules, with its manager's backing. What works is shared and kept. Hidden use moves into the open.
"We're launching SAP, Dynamics, Workday or a new process. People need to work in it from day one."
People know the tasks that change for their role before go-live. They have practised them in a safe copy. They have a short guide to hand when they get stuck. The learning platform that carries the training works for learners and admins.
Planned changes per employee
Employees willing to change to support enterprise change
"We trained people. We can't show it changed the work."
Before the training starts, you agree what it should change in the work and how you will see it. You track usage and one or two business measures, and you know where to act next.
For subject matter experts (SMEs) and the teams who rely on them
"The answers are in a few people's heads and a hundred documents."
What your subject matter experts know is captured once, in a form people can learn from and look up. Experts can add to it themselves. New staff follow a clear path through their first weeks. Repeat questions go to a guide or assistant first, and experts see only the hard ones.
hours a week, average UK worker
For L&D and training teams
"Our courses are out of date, our platform is hard to use, and every update feels like a rebuild."
You know which courses to keep, fix, convert, rebuild or retire. Changes are made only where the content changed. Learners find and finish what they need, and admins can run the platform without a developer.

How I work
Four stages, from the first conversation to the day your team runs the work without me. You can start small, with one course or one team.
-
01
Agree the scope in writing
I start with your problem and the systems you already have. I talk to subject matter experts, managers and some of the learners, and I look at the current platform and its data.
You get a short scope to sign, and every later change is checked against it. On the Advanced Learning World build, one Excel scope sheet was the master document for the vendor.
-
02
Design around what you already run
Learning design and technical design run together. I map the learner journey, the content and the integrations (LMS, SCORM, xAPI, sign-in) at the same time, so no design depends on a feature your platform cannot deliver.
I adapt proven platforms before anyone writes new ones, and I prototype early in the real tool so reviewers can click through it. In 2019 I advised Advanced Learning Company against a long build from scratch. Their Open edX platform went live in September 2020, 3.5 months after delivery started.
-
03
Pilot with real users before launch
I build in Storyline, Rise, Open edX, Moodle or Drupal, depending on what you already run. AI tools such as Synthesia and text-to-speech come in where they save time and budget. Translation covers the navigation, messages and prompts as well as the script.
A pilot finds what reviews miss. The three-country SITCIN pilot showed silent data loss and overwritten records, so I set one National Focal Point per country and moved the pilot to Excel import with verification. All three assessments were submitted and closed.
-
04
Hand it over documented
Launch covers the communications, testing, publishing on your LMS and the first round of fixes.
The work is finished when your team can run it without me. On SITCIN the original developer had left no admin documentation, so I wrote the QZ Manager guide, handed the git repository to UNECE IT and worked through the deployment blockers with them.

Sarunas joined Advanced Learning Company at an early stage in the development of this education services company in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. He played a key role in shaping a novel service providing digital education for school students across the country. This extended to formulating the strategy for the business assisting with the selection of partners and being involved in numerous other start-up activities. Sarunas has an excellent understanding of the design and implementation of digital education solutions and showed great flexibility by providing valued assistance in several other areas, including website and portal design.

I had the privilege of working with Shas over a few years at KPMG, where he held the position of Instructional Designer on the project team. Diligent, creative and capable of working to tight deadlines, I'd have no hesitation in working with him again in the future. His structured approach to course design and knowledge of his craft, enabled us to to produce high quality E-learning modules to suit the client's various roles and processes impacted by the implementation of a new Opportunity and Risk Management system.

Sarunas' combination of skills, including graphical and instructional design, was superb for our needs. He also has an excellent knowledge of the tools he employs, as well as trends within the fast-moving eLearning industry. I highly recommend Sarunas' work, skills, and professionalism.

Sarunas worked for me as a contractor on the Sidra Medical Research Centre (SMRC) project, where he produced great work in a challenging work environment and to very tight deadlines. His work culminated in the production of quality ELearning materials for SMRC's library system. He is extremely capable and dedicated to producing a good quality product.

Tools I build and run
I use my own products to test AI-assisted research, content design and app development on real use cases. The learning value is practical: understand what the tools can do, where they fail and what people need to check before using the result. Projects remain subject to my review.
