§ 01 — AT A GLANCE
THE FACTS
A second-year refresh that earned its keep.
- Client: Microsoft (with The Mind Gym)
- Program: Manager Reimagined — refresh of the new manager curriculum
- Scope: Online learning modules within a blended program
- Stack: Articulate · Microsoft internal learning platform
- Standards: Brand-locked design system, WCAG 2.2 AAA
- Course Kitchen role: Lead instructional design and module build alongside Mind Gym’s I/O Psychologists
§ 02 — THE PROBLEM
WHAT THEY HIRED US FOR
Refresh a curriculum learners and managers know, without losing the muscle memory they’ve already built.
The constraint: no disruption to learners already mid-program.
§ 03 — APPROACH
THREE MOVES
Refresh the surface. Strengthen the spine. Don’t break what works.
- 01
Brand-system update
New visual system, motion patterns, and voice locked to Microsoft’s evolving brand standards. Same design tokens across every module.
- 02
Surgical content rewrite
Replaced specific scenarios, examples, and assessments where year-one data showed weakness. Left high-performing content alone.
- 03
Coordinated rollout
Versioned modules so learners mid-program completed on the prior version while new cohorts started fresh on the refreshed system.
