In Conversation With... Ashton Cousineau

A new video series exploring how L&D professionals are working with AI on the ground

Hey folks!

One of the things I get asked a lot is: how are instructional designers & L&D professionals more broadly using AI on the ground?

This week, I recorded the first of what I hope will be many 1:1 interviews with folks who are doing great work in the AI & instructional design space. My goal is to cut through the noise and help share what is happening (and not happening!) in the world of AI and L&D.

In this first episode, I speak with Ashton Cousineau, Director & Performance Solutions Lead on the Global Team at KPMG.

In this conversation, Ashton discusses the integration of AI in Learning and Development (L&D), emphasising the importance of understanding pain points and opportunities for using AI tools effectively.

Ashton highlights the need for a strategic approach to AI adoption, focusing on enhancing workflows, improving learning experiences, and fostering collaboration among team members. The discussion also touches on the potential of AI to enable learning professionals to become more knowledgeable and effective in their roles, while also addressing the importance of prioritising people and their needs in the process of adopting new technologies.

Tune in to learn more about:

  • How to get started with AI in L&D.

  • Strategic approaches to AI tool adoption, including the importance of taking a "Product Manager” mindset.

  • How AI can enhance L&D professionals' capabilities.

  • Practical advice for L&D teams feeling behind on AI adoption, with emphasis on starting small and focusing on people-first solutions

  • How best to test and measure the impact of AI in L&D effectiveness and quality improvements

Happy innovating!
