Description
Kasi Guillot, Ed.D. is a scholar-practitioner and performance strategist whose work explores what happens when research refuses to stay on the page. She earned her Doctorate in Organizational Leadership, where her dissertation, A Connectivist Approach for Introductory Biology Laboratory Courses: An Instructional Framework to Address STEM Education and Workforce Needs, examined how networked learning systems can bridge academic theory and workforce reality.
Rather than concluding with publication, her research became a catalyst. It evolved into the C-Link Framework, a connectivist-informed performance improvement model that integrates systems thinking, organizational behavior, and human performance technology to help leaders translate insight into measurable change. Through C-Link, Dr. Guillot works at the intersection of scholarship, strategy, and execution, designing models that move evidence into action across higher education, healthcare, and professional learning systems.
She is a national leader within the International Society for Performance Improvement (ISPI), serving as the Director of Academic Programs and Editor-in-Chief of its flagship publication The Performance Improvement Journal and championing research that informs practice. Her current work explores the role of artificial intelligence as a strategic partner in leadership and learning.
Dr. Guillot challenges scholars to ask not only What did we discover? but What will we build because of it?
