Integrating Learning Design, Advisory, and Consulting: A Different Approach for trcLearning

Andrew Wood • Jul 03, 2023

In an evolving world, the nature of learning, consulting, and advisory services needs to constantly adapt. At trcLearning, we're pioneering a transformative approach that integrates these facets into a cohesive and effective whole. Our learning community model is designed to challenge and reshape traditional dichotomies of teacher-learner and consultant-client relationships. Instead, we foster an environment where everyone has the potential to learn from and teach others, fostering mutual growth and knowledge sharing.

A Shared Journey of Learning

Our community embraces the principle that learning is a fundamentally social process. Everyone in our community—whether they're traditionally labelled as 'learners', 'advisors', or 'consultants'—is engaged in a mutual journey of learning. We all contribute to and draw from the shared pool of knowledge and expertise, reshaping the way we think about the learning process.

Moving away from the ‘Oracle Model’

Similarly, we've moved away from the 'Oracle Model' of consulting, where advice is given without sufficient engagement with the recipient. Under the ‘Oracle Model’, advice, even if it is correct, often leaves clients uncertain about how to interpret and apply it.  In its place, we've established an environment where advisors and clients engage meaningfully with each other, fostering mutual understanding and facilitating the effective implementation of advice. Our advisors don’t just dispense advice; they work collaboratively with community members to co-create solutions that best fit their unique needs and context.

Digital Spaces as Catalysts

Our innovative approach is deeply rooted in digital technology. We use digital spaces not just as tools, but as catalysts to amplify learning and forge meaningful connections within our community. The power of technology helps us reach beyond traditional boundaries, fostering a vibrant, supportive learning community that challenges conventions and collaboratively shapes the future of recruitment.

The Intersection of Learning and Consulting

This integration of learning design, advisory, and consulting offers many benefits. It ensures that the knowledge gained through our learning community is directly applicable to real-world challenges. It allows our community members to learn from each other's experiences and perspectives, fostering a culture of continual learning and improvement. It also means that lessons learned are better understood, more relevant, and easier to implement because they’re born from a deep understanding of each member's unique situation.


trcLearning is a learning community for subscriber members, where we're not just reshaping the way we learn, consult, and advise. We're creating an environment where everyone has a voice, where everyone is a learner, and everyone is a teacher. We're excited to share this journey with you. Join us in navigating the business, compliance, and technological landscapes of the staffing and recruitment industry. Together, we can set new standards for what it means to be human in an age of digital recruitment.

Welcome to our journey towards creating a 'Knowledge Commons' in the field of recruitment. What does this mean? A Knowledge Commons is a shared intellectual space where knowledge, research, and insights are not just disseminated but collaboratively built and accessed by all. Our vision is to create a platform where diverse voices, experiences, and expertise in the staffing and recruitment industry converge. We believe that by breaking down barriers to knowledge, we can foster innovation, inclusivity, and progress. Over the next few days, we'll be revealing key facets of our approach as we prepare to launch our new project, Recruiters' Research Log . Stay tuned as we delve deeper into this exciting concept and invite you to become a part of it. Andrew C. Wood

From Casebook to Research Log

If you’re a licensed labour hire provider or operating lawfully in a jurisdiction that doesn’t yet have labour hire licensing, then you probably won’t want to have to compete against unlicensed operators who are avoiding regulatory responsibilities and costs. But take heart. The Queensland and Victorian regulators seem to be stepping up to shut down the shadow operators. Here are notes of a couple of recent prosecutions that show that the regulators mean business. Unlicensed NQ labour hire providers convicted and fined total of $360,000 A North Queensland provider disguised the fact that it was not licensed and misled farmers into believing that arrangements for the supply of its workers were legitimate. Worker complaint leads to big fines for unlicensed supply of security guards A South Australian based security company and its Chief Operating Officer were convicted and fined $150,000 and $50,000 respectively for supplying security guards in Queensland without having a Qld labour hire licence. Over the last few months, the Victorian Labour Hire Authority has also gone on the front foot with several Supreme Court prosecutions of labour hire providers and their directors for alleged: unlicensed trading; and failure to notify changes in directorships I’ll have more to say when the outcomes of these cases are known. In the meantime, it’s important that legitimate labour hire providers don’t just sit by quietly and let these things pas unnoticed. You’ve all got networks. Use them to spread the word about what’s happening so that your workers and clients clearly know where you stand when it comes to dealing with shadow operators. Share these stories and join us in creating a fair and transparent labour hire industry together. Andrew C. Wood
