We work to understand what organisations need today and what they will need tomorrow. With TÜBİTAK R&D support, we develop products and experiences at the Technopark that bring people, learning and technology together.
Development built around the organisation.
We make capabilities, behaviours and development needs visible, then turn those insights into assessment, learning and organisational development solutions. AI and human expertise work together throughout the process.

Stronger evidence for people decisions.
Our platform brings recruitment, assessment and development processes together. Assessments and twin-case applications generate behavioural evidence, while AI-supported analysis assists expert evaluation.
Explore TAPLearning through decisions, interactions and consequences.
Business simulations in which participants run a company, navigate competing priorities and experience the consequences of their decisions. We make leadership behaviours visible through experience, generating insights for assessment and development.
Explore ArchiaI believe AI should take on low-value tasks, giving people more room to think, create and focus on higher-value work. People and AI should work as a team.
From assessment to development.
A digital development centre approach combining AI-supported assessment with human expertise, connected to feedback and subsequent learning.
Explore the case
Making leadership visible through experience.
A development engagement bringing simulation, feedback and learning together around corporate competency and leadership requirements.
A leadership programme shaped around the need.
A programme designed around organisational leadership needs, bringing workshops, inventories and learning sessions together.
Designing development as a journey.
A programme connecting organisational capability needs with learning and application, bringing different development components together.
At Tezgahçılar, we design learning programmes, games and interactive experiences around corporate needs. Bringing different disciplines together, we create space for participants to experiment, interact and take their learning back to work.
This experience also informs the technology products we develop today: understanding people and their needs first, then designing the solution.

TEDxDrawing on experiences that changed the direction of my career, I talk about finding what we want and connecting our choices to our own values.
When I landed the advertising job I had always dreamed of, I began to question whether it was the life I wanted. In my TEDxYildizTechnicalUniversity talk I share the journey that questioning started. I focus on noticing the cycles we stay in at work and in our personal lives, understanding what we value, and making room for change.
I have brought together my talks on AI, learning and the transformation of working life, and the interviews in which I share experiences from my entrepreneurial journey.
Platin · Written interviewFor Platin, I described the origins of Tezgahçılar and KATALOQ, the needs I saw in the learning sector and my approach to learning design as technology evolves.
When founding Tezgahçılar, we wanted to bring a more dynamic and participatory approach to adult learning. In the Platin interview, I describe how that idea developed and how manual processes in learning and event management played a role in our founding KATALOQ. The impact of digital transformation on behaviour and the use of artificial intelligence and neuroscience in learning are also among the topics I cover. The interview reflects my search for ways to bring different disciplines together and develop learning around participants’ needs.
egirişim · Hilmi Öğütcü · Video interview and articleA short interview with Hilmi Öğütcü about Tezgahçılar. A look at the idea we started from in learning and event design, from the venture’s early years.
In egirişim’s Women Entrepreneurs interview, I talk about Tezgahçılar. This recording, in which I introduce our venture inspired by the dynamism and variability of a market stall, comes from the early years of our work in learning and event design.
In 2018, I explained that as technology advances, the need for creativity, emotional intelligence and complex problem solving will grow. The CNN TÜRK interview brings together the views on human development and technology that I shared at the time.
Today, through TAP and Archia, I focus on understanding human behaviour, turning learning into experience and supporting development through technology. The questions I explored then continue to inform our products and corporate work.
CNN TÜRKInterview with Ozan OnatAs technology advances, so will the investment people make in themselves
In 2018, Ozan Onat and I discussed which human skills people will need to invest in more as technology advances. Creativity, emotional intelligence and complex problem solving were the focus of the interview.
In this 2018 interview for CNN TÜRK, I argued that as technology advances, the investment people make in themselves will grow. I explained that in a business world transformed by artificial intelligence and automation, creativity, emotional intelligence and the ability to solve complex problems will gain value. I stressed that organisations preparing their people for the future should observe real needs and design learning around them. Experiential learning, the use of technology in learning and measuring learning outcomes were also among the topics we discussed.
On understanding human behaviour, gathering evidence and supporting expert judgement.

Over 12 years of working with more than 450 companies, I have focused on understanding organisational needs and developing new solutions around them. Today, I build on that experience through AI products, assessment platforms and business simulations.
Following my education in business, communication and instructional design, I am pursuing a master’s degree in organisational psychology. Connections between human behaviour, art and technology continue to inform how I think and what I build.
