Our Company
What We Do
“This approach is very different than in the past and is being well-received. There is an opportunity to have this be the new norm.”
Socratic Arts is a learning design services firm. We combine deep expertise in the learning sciences and AI to craft custom, experiential learning solutions that drive behavior change and performance improvement.
We’ve partnered with several Forbes’ 5-Star, World’s Best Management Consulting Firms; global Fortune 500 and smaller companies; R1 universities; and the Dept. of Defense since 2001.
Our clients' learning needs vary from onboarding and promotion readiness to soft skills and highly technical expertise. We've designed innovative learning solutions for interns through partners – and every level in between. We also conduct needs and course analyses, and help our clients plan multi-year learning journeys.
Whether you need in-person, virtual, digital-on-demand, or blended learning programs, we can co-create a solution to meet your organization's unique requirements.
Our Design Philosophy and Approach
“Socratic represents a renaissance of learning science applied organically, creatively, to these projects rather than kind of being another cookie cutter solution generator.”
We're passionate about engaging and effective learning design that creates a lasting impact. Our central focus is on improving performance, changing behaviors, and shifting learner mindsets.
To engage learners and enhance skill retention, we create solutions rooted in learning-by-doing in authentic scenarios, providing instruction just-in-time, and using stories to contextualize concepts.
No one can match our expertise and proven approach to learning. Our designs are backed by learning and cognitive science research, and continue the legacy of our founder, AI and learning sciences-pioneer Roger Schank, Ph.D.
Our Commitment to Partnership
“Fantastic thought partners who aren’t afraid to challenge you to find the best solution.”
We strive to develop trusted relationships with our clients. Employing a human-centered design approach ensures that we fully understand the learners and their work context.
We team tightly with our clients' subject matter resources and learning leaders throughout the design and development process to ensure the final course, program, or journey meets the learners' needs and is perfectly aligned with the organization's goals.
