As generative AI reshapes how people work, learn, and perform, L&D teams are facing important questions about their role and value. In this interview, Egle Vinauskaite, Strategic Advisor, AI in L&D, at Nodes, discusses the people side of AI transformation, the changing value of content, and the commercial thinking learning professionals need to develop. She also offers a preview of the session she will lead at DevLearn, based on new research into how L&D professionals are using AI.
But at the same time, generative AI has presented L&D with the ability to create the kinds of upskilling and orchestrate expertise sharing in ways that we never could before. So that value claim is still there for the taking. And of course, this transformation has meant that the way businesses operate and how fast they need to change to react to competitive pressures, that has made the case for people development very salient.
The 7 Seats at Your Leadership Table — from learningguild.com by Paige Yousey
That’s emerging leadership. You have more responsibility, bigger decisions, and higher stakes, but no magical handbook appears with the promotion. Eventually, you’ll hit a decision you can’t Google, a problem you’ve never seen before, or a moment when you simply need someone who gets it.
The smartest leaders don’t wait until that moment to figure out who to call. They build their list of people before they need them.
Think of it as your personal board of directors. Not one mentor expected to somehow meet every need, but a collection of people who each bring something different to the table. Some will challenge you. Some will remind you what you already know. Some will have absolutely no idea what you’re talking about, and that might be exactly why you need them.
So, who gets a seat?
The Content Boom Is Coming. Is Learning Operations Ready? — from learningguild.com by Tiffany Baltazar
But more content does not necessarily mean more value.
Without the operational infrastructure to manage this growth, the same content boom that creates new opportunities for learning can also create redundancy, conflicting information, oversaturated catalogs, outdated resources, and learning experiences competing for learners’ already limited attention.
In an AI-enabled learning organization, content may become abundant, while learner attention and the systems needed for governance and evaluation may struggle to keep pace.
So, as content creation accelerates, a different question becomes increasingly important: Is the learning ecosystem prepared to manage what follows?
The cost of creating learning content may be falling, but the cost of managing it is not. A healthy learning ecosystem, is not simply one that grows. It is one that can respond as the organization changes.
