Welcome
The team at Limetools design and build eLearning tools that offer experiential work-place learning, using scenario simulations that are often delivered with increased immersive impact by using transmedia and gaming techniques. With investment in data analytics, we measure behaviour change not just in levels of technique adoption, but also growth indicators of emotional intelligence, cognitive resilience and cultural shifts towards better organisational practice.
We build tools on commission, or originate market solutions for direct retail, as well as offering a consultancy service that develops bespoke strategies for cultural change in large organisations. In recent years, our services have focused on the areas of security and resilience change programmes and immersive employee induction programmes (UKRI), leadership and intuitive decision-making life skills development (MOD), adapting employee net zero behaviours (EC Horizon Programme) and innovation management within traditional training ecosystems (DSTL).
Central Southern Business Innovation Award winner!
An absolutely fantastic night thanks to Business South and partners, and something we were so proud to not just be part of, but to win the Business Innovation Award.
​
The 2025 Central South Business Awards celebrate exceptional business achievements across a wide range of sectors in the Central South Region, including Hampshire, Isle of Wight, Surrey, West Sussex and Dorset. The Business Innovation award recognises businesses that have made significant strides in their field, be it developing a new product or by introducing a new process or system to an existing business. During our award panel interview we emphasised our unique recipe of psychologically informed learning techniques, our rare ability to produce a variety of broadcast standard media all in-house and our optimum training tool design and delivery system which is universally accessible on an individual or large-scale basis.
Our Techniques
Limetools uses Social Cognitive Learning Theory, that requires most of our learning journeys to begin with observation of fictional scenarios, followed by self-directed behaviour analysis, best practice teaching, and completed by the facilitation of personal action plans that ensure the behaviour change remains in line with the employer’s policies and cultural approach.
All our output is produced in-house, and often includes original feature film drama, comic-strips, animated quizzes and short-form factual documentaries. We take great care to ensure that full accessibility versioning of our tools continues to provide the same measurable outcomes. We achieve total flexibility in delivery through desktop PCs, mobiles, VR and AR systems, as well as physical and remote team workshops, secured using xAPI formats and simulcast platforms.
Our Work
Industrial, commercial and public service clients come to us for four types of service. We are developing a library of subscription-based eLearning tools that can be delivered virtually or by in-house training workshop teams, to enhance and bring-to-life their own existing training programmes. We undertake commissions from large complex organisations that require us to develop organisational or cultural change campaign programmes that use story-led content, rich in challenging decision-making game scenarios that question and amend ingrained organisational bad habits.
​
Our unusual mix of skills also offers diagnostic consultancy services and strategic planning innovation to help training and HR departments optimize their employees’ productivity, resilience and wellbeing. Finally, our network of research experts are currently working with UK multinational and government clients to investigate the deployment of emotional intelligence in decision-making under pressure; and explore human/AI technical augmentation in team-working.
Our Team
We are a small team with an unusual combination of highly skilled and young-ish talent, offering our clients one-stop access to behavioural psychologists, learning designers, TV broadcast and film storytellers, gaming developers, animators, UX designers, data analysts, with experts in cultural change implementation, security and resilience ‘nudge’ techniques, immersive induction programming, and the integration of AI into learning experiences.
​
We are lucky to be able to work efficiently and imaginatively in a technically advanced virtual collaborative environment, as well as in our CGI green screen production studio, conveniently near the beach in Bournemouth, UK.
