At the end of my career I want to be able to look back and say “the work I did genuinely benefited my community”.

Hi, I’m Will.

My mission in life is to improve the health and prosperity of the people in my community. I think that our society should be measured by how easily the most disadvantaged can get ahead and I strive to do my bit to enable this.

In 2015, I started a charity that helped get over 250,000 kids coding in our schools. I have advised 100s of founders on how to grow their businesses in a sustainable way. But, the contribution I am most proud of is the one I get to make to our healthcare system through my work at Ausmed.

Ausmed is an Australian provider of continuous improvement solutions to the healthcare community. It was founded in 1987 by my mum, Cynthea Wellings, whom as a nurse, saw a need for Australia to have its own healthcare publishing house. I admire and have learned a lot from the passion and determination she brought to work every single day.

I grew up working in the family business. My mum taught me my business skills and my dad taught me how to code.

On school holidays we would head in to help her team pack boxes of books, reply to emails or simply clean up the warehouse. It was then that I first learned about the amazing work nurses, midwives, carers and indeed everyone who works in healthcare does on a daily basis. This work aligned with my personal vision, and I was hooked on healthcare.

Since joining Ausmed full time in 2007, I have worked alongside our exceptional team to transition the business away from printed books, towards highly integrated software and content products. Today, Ausmed’s products are used over 1.5 million times a year.

As the second-generation CEO of a family-run business, I strive to continue to uphold the trust and rich reputation of the Ausmed name whilst bringing new innovations to the industry. In everything that I do, I strive to support the people of our healthcare sector to provide the best care possible. This is what we stand for at Ausmed — Improving Care.

If you’re looking to do something innovative in healthcare, please reach out, I’d love to chat.

"Learn by doing" is coming to eLearning.

Almost all eLearning today is didactic in nature, focused on knowledge distribution to the learner through video, audio or text-based activities.

The learner is expected to memorise the information and assessments are designed to assess knowledge recall.

Experiential learning, by contrast, is a method of learning by doing.

The learner gets to apply a skill and reflect on their performance and experience having done so, combining hands-on activity with critical thinking to create knowledge. 

This cyclical process involves concrete experience, reflective observation, abstract conceptualisation, and active experimentation.

Examples include role-plays, simulations and problem-based learning, which develop skills like critical thinking, problem-solving, and teamwork.

Didactic learning is not bad; it's just not always the best way to learn. But it has become the default due to the previous limitations of eLearning technology.

The experiential phase of learning largely disappeared when e-learning scaled. 

This had the unintended consequence of shifting our mindsets to focus on compliance or completion scores not capability.

The advent of gen-AI will has the potential to change all of this.

By embedding an LLMs into the learning experience we can offer highly dynamic learning experiences that support the learner to learn by doing.

Today was awesome! We hosted an amazing lunch and Zoe Youl moderated the panel exceptionally well. 

More to come

We had such a fantastic time at today's Building Workforce Capability with AI lunch in Melbourne!

Key takeaway? Don't start an AI initiative by pitching at the executive level. Start at the frontline and solve for problems your people are already having.

A huge thank you to our panelists Dr. Thomas Kelly, Elyssia Clark, Jack Feehan and David Diviny!

Spoiler alert: if there’s one thing gen-ai will change it’s this.

Health workforces do the same training or are assessed the same way regardless of their experience, workplace policies and procedures, job role, scope of practice or who they provide care to.

We think generative-AI has the potential to change this.

Gen-AI provides the opposite experience – a highly personalised and contextualised learning experience every time, completely bespoke to the level of the learner and their input.

It uses its memory and context window to build a historical understanding of the learner’s ability and preferences which in turn further improve the personalised nature of its responses.

Ausmed has spent the past few years in a really exciting research and development cycle focused on exploring the practical opportunity of using Gen-AI or Large Language Models (LLMs) in the context of building capability in health, aged and disability care.
