Rapid technological advancements, shifting market dynamics, and a complex regulatory landscape are reshaping industries—and the ways people work—at a breakneck pace. Yet, at a time when learning and development (L&D) is critical, some organizations are moving in the opposite direction: dissolving senior learning roles, pushing L&D deeper into HR, or separating learning leaders from strategic decision-making.
Treating learning as an episodic activity that’s separate from employees’ day-to-day work no longer meets the demands of the scale, speed, and personalization in today’s workplace. “The future of learning isn’t about adding more training on top of work; it’s about reimagining work itself as inherently developmental,” write Bryan Hancock and Heather Stefanski. “Learning is no longer a ‘go away and do it’ activity; rather, it is a seamless, integrated part of the work experience.” Discover these insights on how your organization can make learning and upskilling a priority.
