Transforming learning through collaboration and coaching

“We pride ourselves on delivering learning experiences that truly make a difference”, says Marjut Sadeharju, the CEO of Fusion Ecosystem company Splended. Our approach relies on collaboration, data collection and modern learning design. We coach the trainer on how to enable learning experiences and thus make a concrete impact on the lives of the participants.

Traditionally, training has focused on the trainer but we at Splended have understood that it’s all about the learner and how they can adopt skills and become confident in their work. We learn, do and reflect actively which builds an optimal environment for learning. We coach rather than tell. 

We have carefully selected experts and specialists from the Fusion Ecosystem companies. When they collaborate with Splended, they learn valuable skills such as communication in an international setting, sometimes online, and how to make people learn with a coaching approach. They can further develop their expertise and enabling other people’s learning is a great way to boost their own skills.
