There’s a lot of noise around AI in L&D, but behind that noise is something deeper, and possibly more profound – a fundamental shift in the role of L&D. It is moving from a traditional focus on creating content towards using data. AI is one part of this larger trend. In making this move, though, is L&D sufficiently focused on impact? And have we forgotten about the people actually doing the learning?
In this interactive online session, Donald H Taylor will look back over more than a decade of results of the L&D Global Sentiment Survey to put the 2024 results in context and find the true signal in the noise competing for our attention. He will explain the key themes in L&D that emerged from his survey, answered by thousands of people from nearly 100 countries.
Key topics:
- Why AI is here to stay – and why 2024 is a crucial year for L&D
- The post-pandemic effect: have we become less humane?
- This year’s other major trends: skills and data
- The impact of geography on our thinking
- The key challenges we’re facing this year
