Abstract
Learning Design continues to emerge as a distinct area of professional practice in both corporate and education contexts. This practice must now adapt to meet the challenges of increased expectation of learner experience, an exponential rate of global change, and the need for learning experiences to be future-fit. However, there is a lack of a coherent framework to guide Learning Design practice in addressing these challenges. There is a lack of a framework that supports the learning designer as a leader of change for a thriving future.
This thesis proposes an emergent framework: Leadership by Learning Design. The researcher adopts a pragmatic approach, which draws upon both existing research and professional experience across a range of design related themes including anthro-complexity, future studies, decolonisation, transformational learning, and systems transformation. Key literature in each of these areas is explored, contextualised to Learning Design, then applied in a manner that pushed beyond the boundaries of prevalent practice. Together these themes form an emergent, yet coherent, framework which allows Learning Designers to explore their role as leaders for a thriving future - Leadership by Learning Design.
