A worksheet designed to help you better explain and demonstrate what you do in a way that distinguishes from others.

Creating plausible choices and distractors is one of the most challenging aspects of writing scenarios—options need to be realistic, and wrong answers should reflect mistakes someone might actually make, not obvious throwaways that learners can easily guess. AI can help augment your writing to make writing choices and consequences easier.   

Have you ever stared at a blank PowerPoint slide, unsure about how to start a new presentation? Have you ever looked at a first draft in frustration, knowing it could be better—but not sure how to get there? Subject-matter expertise isn’t always enough. Deep knowledge and good intentions don’t always result in great content.  

When people think about L&D, most think about content. Courses. Job aids. Videos. Guides. For decades, content has been the center of our work. Now the landscape is shifting. Priorities are changing, time is limited, and AI is making content available everywhere. With barriers to creation falling fast, we must take a hard look at how L&D is perceived across the business.  

Is your team drowning in spreadsheets, manual registrations, and repetitive admin tasks that take time away from supporting the business? Learn to automate your L&D workflow and save your team!  

As AI rapidly reshapes how work gets done, most organizations are investing in tools without preparing their people, creating a growing gap between technology adoption and workforce readiness. This guide reframes AI transformation as a workforce challenge, not just a technical one, and introduces the concept of Workforce Reinvention, the strategic realignment of skills, roles, and culture required to thrive in an AI-powered business. Designed for HR, L&D, and people leaders, this guidebook outlines five essential requirements for closing the AI skills gap, navigating new role boundaries and compliance demands, and building an adaptive, future-ready workforce, grounded in research, real customer insights, and best practices from organizations leading the way.

For decades, L&D added value by designing programs, building content, and delivering solutions on demand. That model worked when access to expertise was scarce, and learning creation required specialized teams. Today, that reality has changed. AI is rapidly automating much of what once defined traditional L&D solutioning, including content creation, personalization, curation, and even elements of instructional design. What used to take months can now happen in days. What once differentiated teams is quickly becoming a baseline expectation. In this new era, execution alone is no longer enough. The organizations that will continue to invest in L&D aren’t looking for teams that can simply build learning. They’re looking for partners who can help them think, decide, and act differently in a world of constant change. The examples that follow are drawn from composite scenarios based on common challenges we see across organizations. You know the pattern. A department head emails with a request: "We need training on time management. Can you build something by next quarter?" Your L&D team springs into action. They conduct a needs analysis, design engaging modules, and launch the program on schedule. Completion rates are decent. Satisfaction scores are fine. But six months later, nothing has changed. Meetings still run over. Deadlines are still missed. The department head is disappointed, your team is frustrated, and the cycle repeats, this time with a request for a communication skills course. This is the order-taker trap, and it’s the single biggest reason L&D functions struggle to drive business impact. You’re executing requests, not solving problems. You’re a service provider, not a strategic partner. The way out isn’t better instructional design. It’s a fundamental shift in operating mode: from order-taker to trusted advisor.

Keeping people’s attention has quietly become one of the hardest parts of presenting at work. Not because audiences don’t care — but because they’re operating inside environments designed to interrupt them. Notifications, messages, tabs, and meetings all compete for attention at the same time, making focus harder to sustain than ever before. The AhaSlide white paper The science of distraction explores what’s really happening to attention in today’s workplaces. Drawing on neuroscience, behavioural science, and original research with over 1,000 presenters, it separates popular myths from evidence — including the much-quoted "eight-second attention span" — and explains why attention hasn’t disappeared, but is constantly being pulled and switched. Learn how distraction affects learning, retention, productivity, and even presenter confidence and job satisfaction. It also explores why emotion, uncertainty, and participation play such a powerful role in helping ideas stick — and why presentations that invite involvement consistently outperform those that rely on information alone. Rather than simply blaming audiences, this paper provides a clearer, research- backed way to think about attention — and how presenters can design moments that gently pull people back into the room. Whether you’re a trainer, educator, team lead, or anyone who presents regularly, this whitepaper is a guide to understanding attention better — and creating presentations people actually remember.

Learning and development team members are often in the spotlight where every word counts—whether they’re launching a bold new program, firing up a group of new hires, or leading online webinars. How these leaders come across shapes how their ideas are heard—and whether they are retained. This session delivers a transformative, easy-to-master framework that empowers anyone to take command of every stage, classroom, and conversation.  

We're all improvising. You're using Slack as a knowledge base. Someone else is stitching together Storyline templates to mimic personalization. Another team is creating AI videos because they need something faster. It works, but is it sustainable?  

Most training still leans on information delivery, even though we know that real learning shows up through action. This session introduces a practical way to shift from content-first to experience-first design. We’ll walk through how to use gamification, game-based learning, and core Learning Experience Design principles to build training that people want to participate in and can immediately apply.  

Engagement in virtual training is often treated as a technology problem. More tools. More features. More tactics. But the real driver of engagement is connection, and connection is created through small, intentional actions.

Hello everybody, and welcome to Whose Game Is It Anyway?: the webinar where the games are made up, and the learning points do matter. Choosing the right game for learning shouldn’t feel like guesswork, and yet, for many L&D teams, it does. Games can drive real performance outcomes, but with so many mechanics, formats, and settings to choose from, it’s hard to know which one truly supports your learning objective. That’s the challenge we’re tackling head-on in this session, not by telling you the theory, but by demonstrating the decision-making process live, on the spot, in true improv fashion.  

In today’s world of continuous disruption, organizations need people who are not just adaptable but truly ready for change. Nearly 75% of employees say the pace of change has increased, driving stress and attrition. This interactive session explores the latest research in neuroscience and psychology to uncover what drives change readiness and resilience.
