Background

About Sjoerd Pijper

I’ve built my career around a simple question: how do you make learning actually work in practice? As a Learning Design Consultant with 15+ years of experience, I specialize in translating complex information into clear, structured, and effective learning solutions. I’ve worked across industries including energy, service, and travel — each demanding unique approaches to how people learn and apply knowledge. In the energy sector, working with organizations like Eneco, I’ve designed learning programs where precision, clarity, and real-world application are critical. In service and travel environments, such as Agoda, I’ve created intuitive, engaging learning that supports fast-paced, customer-facing roles. This breadth allows me to adapt quickly and deliver solutions that truly fit the context. My work sits at the intersection of content, people, and performance. I design and improve learning journeys that are not only well-structured but directly applicable in day-to-day work. From developing training programs to converting classroom learning into scalable digital formats, my focus is always on impact — and on the learner’s experience. I’m currently exploring opportunities as an independent consultant, taking ownership across diverse environments and contributing where learning drives performance, safety, and customer experience. Known for being pragmatic, quick, reliable, and easy to work with, I value clarity, efficiency, and solutions that don’t just look good on paper — but actually work in practice. If you want to improve how people learn and perform in your organization, I’d be glad to connect.
