Human capability is the new curriculum.
Education is much more than disseminating knowledge. It’s teaching people how to think and thrive in an ever-changing world.
We’re working with learners, leaders and organisations navigating the shift from knowledge-based schooling to learning that delivers real outcomes aligned with the needs of tomorrow. Together, we shape skills, strategies and systems through a human-centred lens to tackle future challenges.
Human-centred. Outcome driven.
What is education now for?
Students are growing up in a technology-centric world where AI is driving change at an incredible rate. Developing new skills for jobs that don’t yet exist demands a broad systems-level approach to reshape learning for the future. In the face of AI’s impact, we find and structure new ways to evolve learning and answer the question: what is education now for?
Relevant, affordable and measurable
Educational institutions are under pressure to demonstrate relevance, affordability and measurable outcomes. We help optimise and rebuild organisations to meet new challenges and adopt the right technologies to create efficiencies, scale and stay relevant.
Learning how to upskill
The World Economic Forum reports ~39% of core worker skills will change by 2030. It’s economically unviable for companies to continuously replace employees, so workers must reskill continuously to keep pace with rapidly shifting industries, technologies and expectations. Learning how to upskill is now one of the biggest priorities in education.
Accessible for everyone
Education systems must adapt to suit rich and diverse learning needs with inclusive, social, personalised learning experiences that connect with and are accessible for everyone.
Learning with personalisation at its heart.
Group Of Humans is a collective of creatives, strategists, thinkers and makers strategising and designing new human-centred educational experiences tailored for future-proof learning. Where relationships, critical thinking, motivation and lifelong agency are the anchors.
We’re shaped by a diversity of lived experiences and paths into education. Our strength lies in thinking, analysing, designing and producing future-facing products and services that genuinely reflect the societies they serve, grounded in an authentic, ethical and human approach rather than abstract theory. It is this collective makeup that uniquely positions us to help shape what education can become.
The opportunities ahead lie in building tools, experiences and services that help people think deeply, connect meaningfully, and grow in ways that enrich their lives at every stage.
Future Skills by design.
Amid rapid change, education still begins and ends with humans. Technology is an enabler, not an end goal.
We’ll help you navigate new technologies without losing the primacy of educators, relationships and the joy of learning. Shaping futures where technology supports rather than overshadows, where teachers are empowered and learners nurtured far beyond marks, metrics and exams.
