HRMI 2021: Scott Leiper, Creator, The Learning Lab

Leiper has spent the last 13 years developing a creative and diverse leadership and management development business The Learning Lab. He has an established reputation for making what is complex simple, practical, and memorable.

Over this time at The Learning Lab, he used his unique learning iconography approach to underpin a number of creative and often award-winning solutions. Sir Ranulph Fiennes endorsed his explorer training programme to assist an engagement strategy. He developed a team of change agents to utilise the power of imagination to assist business transformation and relocation. Leiper has deployed his creative learning craft widely.

His other business, Imaginocity, was established in late 2019. Imaginocity is a product-led learning venture which aims to ignite the mind and empower greatness. His debut product, Cognitize, is a sustainable physical and digital card system that grows with each new story to help learning stick.

In 2020 Leiper founded and co-created Kindfest, a global virtual celebration and education of workplace kindness. Kindfest raised thousands for charity and helped spread ripples of kindness into their communities and make a positive difference.

In response to the COVID-19 Pandemic, Leiper co-founded Virtual Punks, a virtual events business creating more meaningful digital experiences. Hosting virtual Christmas office parties and festivals of learning.

Leiper loves nothing more than watching, along with his soulmate, his 'wee clan' of three grow and blossom. He's also a lover of bikes, Bowie and baking.
