JFI Research is part of the learning ecosystem JFI Learning Village
A virtual space where research meets real sustainable practice, connecting consulting, education and excellence together to create learning plans that are grounded, not guessed at.
Built for humans, not algorithms.
My name is Józefa Fawcett and I’m on a mission to build professionals who are fit for the future, not just followers of the past.
I do this by bringing together three things most consultants keep separate: active consulting, academic lecturing, and business excellence assessment. Using this triangulated approach is what makes my learning solutions stick.
Theory connects with practice, assessment surfaces the real learning gaps, and research keeps the strategy honest.
I’ve been involved in European Commission-funded projects since 2002, across Leonardo da Vinci, Grundtvig, Erasmus, and now Erasmus+.
Currently I’m Head of Global Projects at Northern Crown Learning Circles an NGO in Norway, working alongside our partners in Latvia and Austria.
This means over two decades of transnational collaboration, which has shaped how I think about learning, research and what actually transfers into practice across cultures and contexts.
Everything I do is underpinned by three research questions. They’re not decorative. They shape my consulting, my course design, my assessment work and what I choose to write about. If it doesn’t connect back to one of these, I don’t take it on.
My research for 2026-2030 explores three interconnected questions:
This framework informs my international work on developing a Blueprint for Glocalised Scalability of AI in Higher Education, creating my CPD-Accredited ‘Leaders Who Listen’ online training course, and as a Recognised Excellence Expert™ conducting assessments for clients against excellence standards.
A lot of professional development has become transactional. Automated systems, AI-generated content. Functional, but cold. Mine isn’t. Every resource I create comes from real experience, real research and my own thinking. Not a cloned voice, not a quick-fix checklist.
Over 200,000 professionals across 42 countries have used my work to lead more effectively, adapt with confidence and build organisations that actually thrive.
Some resources are free. Others are premium. All of them are designed to meet you where you actually are. I offer online learning, in-person consulting, coaching, facilitation, training, podcasting and excellence assessment.

I’ve written two digital learning books exploring human potential in the age of AI. Both sit directly within my research questions above. I believe good research, like nature, moves with the seasons. Rushing growth out of season rarely produces anything worth keeping. These books follow that same rhythm.
R.E.A.L. Empathic Learning™ rel.training Practical skills for building strong, empathic relationships in hybrid working environments.
R.E.A.L. Adaptive Humans™ (due late 2026) rah.training Strategies for developing the adaptability needed to thrive when the ground keeps shifting.
Both use page-flip technology, so the content keeps evolving as the field does.
I also share my cross-cultural and multi-generational discussions and stories on the following platforms
ResearchGate – Where I share publications and connect with other researchers. Good place to see what I’m reading and writing.
Medium – Longer-form thinking on AI, workplace learning and what’s actually changing out there.
JFI Radio – Ten years of conversations on leadership, excellence and future capability. Real voices, no scripts.
things around me keep changing and so must I. Come with me.
