IO psychologists work in complex and changing environments, navigating the challenges of selection, development, and teamwork. Translating research into practical tools while maintaining rigour is never straightforward. Psychologists need approaches that are evidence-based, flexible, and applicable across diverse organisational contexts.

 

This session will explore how Lumina Learning supports IO psychologists with a research-led, human-centred approach. We will look at how our assessments and feedback tools can be applied to development, coaching, and team effectiveness, highlighting Lumina’s unique features such as adaptable portraits and practical guidance. You will also hear about emerging research, designed to inform practice in data-driven and evolving workplaces.

 

Your 60-minute session agenda:
 

  • Exploring the application of Lumina tools in selection, development, and teamwork
  • Highlighting Lumina’s distinctive features for coaching, feedback, and practical application
  • Reviewing new research and how it can shape approaches to workplace behaviour

 

Led by Lumina Learning CEO & Founder Dr Stewart Desson and HR Most Influential Thinker and Lumina Learning Associate, Nikita Mikhailov, this session is designed for IO psychologists who want to combine rigorous research with practical, adaptable tools. Expect an engaging hour focused on evidence, application, and reflection on modern organisational challenges.
