Community of Practice for IDs / L&Ds

I am the founder and principal learning architect at The Bradbury Group. Two years ago I saw how huge AI was going to be for L&D and decided to go deep to figure out responsible AI adoption for our field.

Since then I've built out courses using AI for Fortune 500 companies and ran numerous cohorts focused on AI Literacy & Fluency for L&D professionals. Our course designs are careful to focus on the skills that matter in our real work. This approach has led us to see adoption rates 3x higher than feature-led training.

A community of practice for instructional designers is one of the top requests I receive. This COP is a safe place to explore, learn from what others are doing, have the opportunity to share use cases, or simply watch and see what others are doing. Come along for the journey!

"I have spent years at the intersection of learning experience design, operations, measurement, and AI enablement — building systems at Amazon for 5,000+ global professionals and establishing instructional design practice at scale at Wipro. Now I run Arnas Learning Intelligence Studio, building AI-powered tools for the modern L&D practitioner.

The gap I see everywhere: L&D professionals doing the work but struggling to connect it to business outcomes or prove impact. That is the territory I live in.

As Director of the ID Community of Practice at ATD Austin, the most consistent ask is for a space to think out loud and figure out our role together. That is exactly what this is.

I do not teach concepts. I teach what I have built, broken, rebuilt, and scaled. Come unlearn and relearn with us."
