Q2 2026
Ringorang 4.0 Is Here:
AI-Guided Program Design
New Look, Smarter Engine
You may have noticed things look a little different. That's intentional. We refreshed our look to match the biggest update in Ringorang's history: Ringorang 4.0 is live, and it changes how learning programs are built.
Building a training program used to mean months of planning and sequencing before a single learner saw a question. With AI-guided design, you start with a goal and Ringorang builds the full program around it.
Tell Ringorang what you want learners to know, do, or change.
A complete, multi-stage program gets built and sequenced automatically.
Review every stage, edit what fits, remove what doesn't.
A pocket coach that makes learning stick
Ringorang gets mistaken for a lot of things: a course library, an LMS, another app to log into. It isn't any of them. So let's set the record straight on what Ringorang actually is, and what it deliberately isn't.
Training tells people what to do. Ringorang is what keeps them doing it, minutes a day, in the flow of the day.

Clarios
Frontline leadership development at global scale
Clarios is one of the world's largest makers of low-voltage vehicle batteries, powering 1 in 3 cars globally. With 18,000+ employees, scaling leadership development for frontline supervisors was no small task.
We built the Frontline Leadership Development Program: habit-based coaching using the Insights Discovery color energy framework, giving supervisors a shared language and daily reinforcement to make it stick.
“The concepts have stayed on my mind between sessions. It's helped me not forget what we learned.”
University of Idaho
Keeping wildland firefighters sharp between sessions
The S-290 Wildland Fire Behavior course trains firefighters to read fire behavior well enough to make critical field decisions. That technical knowledge fades fast without consistent reinforcement.
Ringorang delivers and reinforces Heather Heward's curriculum, keeping learners sharp on fuel variability, weather, topography, and ignition dynamics through short daily nanolearning.
The Way to Work
Getting Wichita students workforce-ready before day one
The Way to Work, run by the City of Wichita's Housing and Community Services Department, needed to get students workforce-ready at scale, with practical skill-building instead of another classroom.
This summer they used Future Ready to run tournament-style games focused on the employability skills, communication habits, and workplace readiness tools that actually translate on the job.

“I was nervous when our dev team went all-in on Claude. Four weeks later, I committed our entire company to it.”
ACT Research Project
This summer, Future Ready by Ringorang teamed up with ACT to launch the ACT Research Project. Two trusted brands working together on one of education's hardest problems: making sure students graduate with the essential, work-ready skills employers need.
Already in 24 states, using game-based nanolearning grounded in brain science to help students and workers close real skills gaps a little at a time. Because it works through daily habit formation, it measures each learner's growth as they practice.
Trusted by families, schools, and employers for decades, and the organization behind the ACT test and WorkKeys. Its new WorkKeys Essential Skills assessment measures integrity, collaboration, creativity, and leadership.
Together, students get the best of both: a fun, proven way to build essential skills and see their own progress, plus the research and the credential that employers recognize. That combination is what helps students get where they want to go.
Reserved for schools that join the research project. A no-cost way to give students a head start on career readiness while adding to research on workforce development. Participating classrooms take a pre- and post-survey so we can measure real growth.

Solved in 30 Minutes
Most problems do not need more theory. They need practical approaches that work. That is the idea behind Solved in 30 Minutes, our webinar series where we sit down with industry leaders, educators, and operators to break down a real problem and how they are solving it right now. Real conversations. Real solutions. In just 30 minutes.
Catch every recording, and register for what is next, at ringorang.com/solved-in-30-minutes. New sessions get added regularly, so there is always another problem to solve in 30 minutes.

Elise Waipa
This past July, we welcomed Elise Waipa to the Ringorang team. She jumped in headfirst and has already made a real difference in the work we do here. We're glad to have her on our team.

On the road
This year the team spent a lot of time on the road: Nashville, Detroit, Southern California, and two national stages in July. We go to these events to be in the room with the educators, employers, and workforce leaders we build for.
ISPI 65th Annual Conference
ISPI, the International Society for Performance Improvement, is the professional home for people whose job is making workplace training actually change behavior, with members across business, government, the military, and education in more than 50 countries.
The Feeneys took the stage in a big way. Robert delivered the keynote on the renaissance underway in human and organizational performance now that AI is an active participant, and Megan led a session on building an AI-first culture. Each then ran an interactive learning lab for practitioners, from college students to experts with decades in the field, and Robert hosted a shark-tank-style competition among leading AI-led learning solutions. ISPI marked the moment by launching its new AI4PI certification.
On the road
GM / GLM Global Workshop
This global workshop brought together learning and workforce leaders working on a hard, current problem: how do you get thousands of employees around the world to adopt new tools and new ways of working, AI included?
Robert Feeney spoke on how to do it. Rolling out a tool is the straightforward part. Getting people to change how they work is the hard part, and that is where short, repeated practice helps.
SoCal Chapter
ISPI SoCal Chapter
ISPI's Southern California chapter runs smaller, practitioner-to-practitioner sessions for its members.
We joined virtually to walk this crowd through the Ringorang approach and how five-minutes-a-day, game-style learning keeps people engaged well after a one-time workshop has been forgotten.
On the road
ACT Summit
ACT is one of the most trusted names in assessment, and its summit draws the education and workforce leaders who use tools like WorkKeys to get students ready for careers.
Robert Feeney and ACT’s Dr. Alex Casillas presented "Pocket Coach for Essential Skills: A Case Study" and launched the ACT WorkKeys Essential Skills research project with Future Ready. It takes on a problem every employer describes: graduates who know their subject but have not built the essential skills, like communication, collaboration, and leadership, that help them succeed at work.
JAG EDGE Conference
EDGE is the flagship conference of Jobs for America's Graduates, the national network that helps young people finish school and start careers. This year it focused on the future of work and on bringing technology like AI into career-connected learning, which is right where Future Ready fits.
Amanda Perdaris and Toni Jones led a Creative Lab session, "Multiply Yourself with a Gamified Nano-Coach!" They showed JAG educators how a gamified nano-coach can extend their reach, giving every student a daily, in-pocket coach that builds work-readiness habits without adding to the teacher’s load.
