Video: Unleashing the Power of AI in L&D

An exclusive video walkthrough of my keynote at Sweden's national L&D conference this week

Yesterday, I gave a keynote at Sweden's national L&D conference on AI and the future of L&D.

Rather than write a blog post about the research I shared, I decided to create a condensed version for you to watch back (recorded rough and ready at the end of the day!).

Highlights

🚀 The wicked problem of L&D: last year, $371 billion was spent on workplace training globally, but only 12% of employees apply what they learn in the workplace

🚀 An innovative approach to L&D: when Mastery Learning is used to design & deliver workplace training, the rate of "transfer" (i.e. behaviour change & application) is 67%

🚀 AI 101: quick summary of classification, generative and interactive AI and its uses in L&D

🚀 The impact of AI: my initial research shows that AI has the potential to scale Mastery Learning and, in the process:

• reduce the "time to training design" by 94% > faster

• reduce the cost of training design by 92% > cheaper

• increase the quality of learning design & delivery by 96% > better

🚀 Research also shows that the vast majority of workplaces are using AI only to "oil the machine" rather than innovate and improve our processes & practices

🚀 Practical tips: how to get started on your AI journey in your company, and a glimpse of what L&D roles might look like in a post-AI world

I’m working with AI-wizard & Harvard scholar, Gianluca Mauro, on a research pilot of an AI prototype for L&D teams. Our goal? To test the hypothesis that we can use AI to make the process of designing, delivering & evaluating L&D:

• At least 75% faster

• At least 75% cheaper

• At least 75% more effective (as measured by comparison to learning science research + rates of workplace application)

If you lead or work as part of an L&D team and want to stay ahead of the curve, you can apply to take part in the pilot (or just sign up to learn more about it) here 👇

Happy innovating!
