The Future of Learning Technology Publication

What's Inside

The publication tackles the questions that matter most to L&D leaders right now — from navigating AI adoption to making the case for learning at the executive level.

• AI's role in learning strategy — How AI is accelerating content creation, enabling personalised learning at scale, and shifting L&D from order-taker to strategic partner.
• Measuring ROI and proving value — Why tracking completion rates is the wrong metric, and what to measure instead to speak the language of CFOs and business leaders.
• Skills-based learning in practice — What it means to move from topic-based training to role-specific capability building, and how to sustain it long-term.
• Human judgment in an AI-driven world — Where AI falls short, why human expertise still drives quality, and how learning designers can evolve rather than be replaced.
• Wellbeing, culture, and the future of work — Why employee wellbeing is a business outcome, not a perk, and how L&D can help leaders build cultures that support it.
