The Challenge
Every team has visibility into what can be automated. The challenge is turning that knowledge into action.

Your teams are in front of the raw material for automation every day. It lives in their workflows, their timesheets, their performance reviews, and probably what they commiserate on over happy hour. The challenge is in how to transform that awareness into an actionable path forward.

Three gaps consistently stand between that awareness and action.

Vision Gaps
Teams need an understanding of what is possible before they can create value. You cannot find opportunities if you do not know where to look or what success looks like when you get there.
Capability Gaps
Not knowing how to test an idea can keep it on the shelf indefinitely. A team that understands its limits and how to bridge them will experiment successfully where others stall.
Tools Gaps
The number of AI tools grows every day. Knowing how to choose and how to use the right tools can make the difference in whether the investment produces real ROI.
The organizations that move fastest are the ones that start closest to the problem.
Start where the work actually happens. With the team that already knows where the problems are, and give them the support to shape the future with you.

We meet teams where they are.

We start with people helping people.

Our team of AI practitioners, learning professionals, and performance consultants embeds directly where the work happens. We come from enterprise companies, automation and engineering firms, corporate training teams and academia.

We are experts in our domains coming together with a common belief that the best way to solve complex problems is to spend time with the people closest to it.

Technical Skills
Learning experiences created by Educators and AI Engineers that can kickstart performance.
Capability and Confidence
Coaching and support at the front line to help teams transform their work one task at a time.
Vision and Clarity
Guidance from practitioners who have built and deployed AI workflows to help unlock the potential hidden in daily work.
Execution Support
Talent to help execute and accelerate adoption by jumping in to the work alongside your team.

Our Story

Austin Learning Partners is a network of like-minded experts that has come together over more than 10 years of working together across different projects. Some of us were colleagues, others were contributors, and in some cases even competitors.

The name is a quiet tribute to lifelong learning. Jeff Austin Sobieraj, the principal partner, was given the name Austin by his late father who had been reading the biography of Stephen F. Austin just before Jeff was born. The name is a nod to those who never stopped being curious, and who treat learning as something continuous and rewarding for its own sake.

All of our partners connect around a shared core belief: that meaningful change in how people work does not happen because an organization purchases the right tool, hires the right consultant, or sends people through the right training. It happens when the right expertise is present inside the work itself. The best solutions operate close enough to the problem to see it clearly, and provide consistent enough support over time to actually help people and teams change.

The network includes former Fortune 500 learning leaders, AI adoption experts, technical curriculum design professionals, data infrastructure engineers, professional educators, and workforce development strategy experts.

That experience has been built at some of the world's largest and most recognizable companies. These programs live and die based on whether the business can realize the results. Real people doing real work in a different way is how these programs can justify their ROI, and that is where our team has focused for more than 10 years.
