For when your organisation needs a bespoke approach to learning…
You will work with our expert learning strategist and we’ll cook-up your new organisation-wide learning approach. At Hungry Minds and the Learning Labs, we know that a strong learning culture is the backbone of organisational success. Learning Labs focuses on the bigger picture – helping organisations like yours whip up a learning culture so good, it’ll have your teams lining up for seconds.
Why use the Lab?
The old way of doing L&D is dead. (RIP to boring slide decks and irrelevant workshops.) Organisations are waking up to the fact that if you want real results, you need a learning strategy baked into your culture — not just slapped on top like icing.
At Learning Labs, we’re like that quirky sous chef who knows exactly how to balance creativity with structure. We bring big ideas, proven strategies, and just enough irreverence to keep things interesting. Think: less “corporate consultancy,” more “let’s roll up our sleeves and make something amazing together.”

Sink your teeth into our process
Five steps to transform how your organisation learns:
Pop the hood
Step 1
A deep dive into your organisation, the needs of each part of your workforce, and what might spark their curiosity for learning.
Get creative
Step 2
We co-design your learning kit — your learning manifesto — outlining the recommended approach for each cohort, the best delivery methods, and how learning will look and feel moving forward.
Build
Step 3
Once you’re happy with the direction, we build out the learning kit and fill it with all the tools and templates you’ll need to bring the ideas easily and rapidly to life.
Road test
Step 4
We take your new baby out for a spin! We’ll support you to apply the approach and templates in a project inside your organisation.
Review + tweak
Step 5
We assess the program and identify what to stop, start, and keep. Based on feedback, we make post-pilot tweaks. This is your blueprint for lasting impact.

What the lab does
WHY WAS THE LAB STARTED?
At Hungry Minds, we had a lightbulb moment: why stop at creating exceptional learning for our clients when we could also help L&D legends like you thrive in your own workplace? You’re our kindred spirits — fellow learning nerds — and we love nothing more than teaming up with kindreds.
Here’s the thing: we’ve seen plenty of L&D teams like yours doing it tough. You’re the unsung heroes, carrying the weight of rolling out initiatives and making learning the lifeblood of your business. But let’s be real — learning often gets a bad rap, way too many eye-rolls, and not nearly enough support. That needs to change, and that’s why we started this service.
Bec Jeffrey
Lab Founder & Head of Learning Strategy
Bec leads the charge at the Lab. She has a rare kind of mind, perfect for strategy. She can grasp the big picture at supersonic speed while simultaneously drilling down into finer details to quickly identify the next steps. It scares us regularly. Her years of experience as a social scientist and adult educator means her learning designs and understanding of people are exceptional. As a corporate consultant, she has worked with some of Australia’s most iconic brands to build exceptional learning cultures that have shifted behaviour.
Daniel
Senior Learning Designer
Working as Robin to Bec’s Batman is Daniel. For over two decades, Daniel has dedicated himself to not just educating but inspiring and engaging individuals at a deep level. He is passionate about the idea that it’s not about how much you can learn but about how much you care about learning. His motivation lies in coaching individuals to develop resilience and strength across the emotional, intellectual, and physical spectrums of their lives. In the realm of building better ways of doing things, Dan is a vital asset to the cause.
