The skills gap isn’t simply about missing competencies—it’s a systems challenge tied to how organizations transform their workforce in the face of rapid technological change. To meet this challenge, leaders must ensure employees can adapt, innovate, and thrive alongside AI.  

PowerPoint is used by pretty much everyone in the L&D space (in fact, everywhere) and yet it's often a tedious process that saps all the joy and creativity from developing learning materials, and forces content creators to think about PowerPoint and how to add bullet points, rather than what would make an effective learning experience.
