We're obsessed.
In a good way.
We're learning designers, behavioural experts, change pioneers, world-class facilitators, creative superheroes and experience architects. We know a thing or two about people.
Our Story.
A8 Learning exists to create more human, connected, purposeful workplaces where learning isn't a one-off event - it's everyday growth. We're transformational change agents who energise people and organisations across the globe.
Founded by Chris and David Duncan-Scott, A8 Learning was built on a simple belief: work should be better. Not just more productive or more efficient, but genuinely better for the people who show up every day.
Chris is a creator, author, and world-class facilitator. He's written The A-8 of First Line Management and The A-8 of Learning, positioning himself as both theorist and practitioner. David brings complementary expertise that grounds our work in real-world business impact.
They've built a company that operates differently. Together.
Our values reflect who we are and how we work at our best. We're kind, curious, useful, and human. We work a four-day week because we believe in practising what we preach about better work.
We’re founder-led, and we like it that way. It keeps the work personal, the quality high, and the decisions fast. Chris is involved throughout — not just at the start — to make sure every programme reflects our standards and delivers meaningful behaviour change.
Chris Duncan-Scott
Founder & Learning Lead
Chris has a rich history in corporate and consultant roles, and has specialised in people engagement for the last 20 years. He's passionate about giving people everything they need in the workplace to be able to thrive. He's a big fan of gamification and is always doing a little bit more than expected for A8 clients.
David Duncan-Scott
Founder & Quality Lead
David leads quality at A8 - and brings a wealth of complementary skills from a background in retail, aviation and care. He's focussed on making sure everything that leaves the A8 office for clients is as good as it can be - and he's an Earl Grey enthusiast too.
