AI is transforming learning in two main ways: 1) it is changing the capabilities that L&D needs to focus on through automation and personalization of learning experiences, and 2) it is changing how L&D works by providing insights into learning data. Ruby's day as a L&D professional demonstrates how AI tools can be used to gain insights from data, automate tasks like developing chatbots, and personalize learning for employees. While AI brings opportunities, issues around complexity of learning and lack of a "buy button" mean it cannot fully replace human judgment in L&D.
BECOMING A PARTNER TO THE BUSINESS: HOW BEACHBODY BUILT THE BUSINESS CASE FOR...Human Capital Media
We know learning happens across different systems and devices, between people, and in the real world. We also know weaving it all together into a seamless learning experience takes some work: new system functionality with L&D, HR and IT teams working together.
As L&D leaders, how can we effectively convince and then work with other business leads to overcome organizational challenges?
The good news is the financial support is there: 70% of CHROs are investing in technologies to help them move faster (PWC Technology Survey in 2017).
The even better news is Beachbody has been successful in partnering L&D to the business and they will be on our May webinar to show just how they did it.
The document discusses best practices for competency centers, resource management, and teaming. It recommends building fluid teams with a focus on competence, transparency, and leadership.

Resource management is key to workforce planning and requires cross-boundary sharing and coordination. Social networking can extend project teams and improve matching by increasing visibility of skills and peer vouching.
Only 38% of HR leaders say they have ample data about their workforce to understand their strengths and potential vulnerabilities from a skills perspective. But could the lack of clarity be because we’re focused on the wrong metrics?
Employee engagement has long been the bellweather to measure the success of learning and training programs. But it’s outcomes, not activities, that really counts.
Join us for a crash course in measuring the success of learning and workforce development initiatives.
The document discusses four questions to help navigate your career:
1. Where do I fit in terms of field, region, sector, culture, organization, and work style?
2. How do I add value through disciplines, skills, and knowledge?
3. Can I learn to compete to collaborate as a valued team member?
4. Can I learn to communicate intelligently as a listener and communicator?
