Artificial intelligence (AI) holds immense promise for transforming workplace learning—enable personalized performance support, streamline content curation, analyze and predict learning patterns. But under the hood, these systems often reflect hidden biases, questionable data practices, and oversimplified algorithms that can unintentionally exclude, misinform, or misguide learners. As L&D professionals, we must go beyond technical fascination to ask: Who trained this model? On what data? And at whose expense?  

Organizations are shifting from traditional courses to in-the-moment, just-in-time support that embeds learning directly into daily workflows. This transformation not only improves knowledge transfer but also accelerates the application of skills where they matter most. Explore this change with guidance from Panopto, known for enabling organisations to connect people with the right knowledge at the right moment.

As the year wraps up, L&D professionals are under pressure to show results, yet many programs weren’t designed with impact measurement in mind. Sound familiar?  

Quiet quitting isn’t caused by lazy employees—it’s the natural outcome of organizations that separate engagement from communication. Too many organizations treat employee engagement and communication as separate initiatives. The truth is, one without the other falls flat. Engagement without communication produces frustrated, unheard employees. Communication without engagement produces polished conversations with no energy behind them. When combined, they create the twin engines of performance that fuel trust, productivity, and innovation.  

Have you ever had a boss who undermines, micromanages, withholds information, or sets you up for failure? How about peers who leave you out, spread rumors, or steal credit? When workplace culture becomes toxic and there’s no accountability in sight, what can be done? Sabotage in workplace relationships is insidious, but not impossible to deal with. Whether it’s subtle or overt, learning to respond both strategically and professionally to workplace sabotage is key.  

What does the increasing use of AI mean for the EI of humans within effective organizations? Will AI replace EI? What is the relationship between EI and AI and what does this mean for employee development professionals? Join David Cory, founder of one of the first companies to offer leadership development based on EI - The Emotional Intelligence Training Company Inc. as he discusses the essential importance of understanding this critical relationship between EI and AI and the exact right mix of skills your organization needs to thrive. Since 1998, EITC has designed and delivered training and coaching to leaders in the most progressive organizations on the planet.  

Developing a high-performing team does not have to be scary!   In fact, it might be easier than you think…as long as you follow these simple team building steps.    

"What does this have to do with me?" is the question learners often ask when taking Elearning. Many instructional designers struggle when faced with dry or dense content. Often, the training feels disconnected from learners’ day-to-day work. Because learners view it as irrelevant, they’re less likely to remember their training and less motivated to change their behavior. What you need is a way to help learners recognize the relevance of the elearning you create—and, you hope, to improve performance.  

Winning teams aren’t built by chance. They’re built with intent by leaders who know how to spot the right people early. But most hiring still relies on instinct, vague impressions, and "culture fit" guesswork. The result? Missed opportunities, uncertain decisions, and painful mis-hires.

In our professional lives today, burnout is a threat and balance seems elusive. But some experts say that work-life balance is a false dichotomy—as if "work" and "life" are opposing forces that demand equal time.  

Today’s learners are stressed, overloaded, and navigating constant change. New information, unfamiliar expectations, and fast-paced environments can trigger fear and resistance—right at the moment when we need them to be open to growth. As trainers and leaders, we’re tasked with engaging learners in the midst of that stress and uncertainty, building environments where learning can thrive despite the natural defenses of the brain.  

Sometimes, we can get lost in the science of instructional design and forget that we are actually training people.

Learn how to transform training from a cost center to a core driver of business agility and competitive advantage.  

Scheduling 300 ILT events across 9 regions isn’t "challenging" in Excel. It is a cry for help. Manually emailing learners to apologise for a classroom change is not what you signed up to do. Pushing big picture projects off to answer boring compliance questions drains you.   

They crushed their quota, so we gave them a team. And a calendar full of forecast calls, coaching check-ins, and pipeline reviews. No roadmap. No leadership training. Just... "figure it out."  

Building on the communication themes explored in April’s session ("Sociograms: Find Out Who Is Really in Charge") and July’s session ("The Art of the Reframe: Responding to Idiocy, Hate, and Lies"), this session delves deeper into mastering organizational dynamics. The sociogram revealed the true influencers within a group.  The reframe technique did not eradicate idiocy, hate, or lies but instead planted seeds of doubt and sowed discomfort, challenging falsehoods at their core.  

Despite high investments in training, many organizations struggle to measure its true impact. This interactive session introduces five essential questions that align training with behavior change and business outcomes. Participants will explore real-world examples, engage in polls, and discuss practical strategies for evaluating Levels 3 and 4 of Kirkpatrick's model. Grounded in recent research, the session addresses common evaluation barriers—such as lack of data use, limited manager involvement, and unclear metrics—and provides actionable tools for overcoming them.   

Can you use eLearning to build a hands-on experiential course that teaches some real-life , tangible skills (such as vehicle inspection) to users? Sure you can! In this case study demonstration, see how we integrated other tools such as Vyond, Blender and 360 degree animations to build a digital version of a Driver Orientation course for a Municipality.  

Change is the very point of what we do in L&D, and it’s *frustratingly* difficult. We keep forgetting just how hard it is to break free from the gravity of the status quo. Great training breaks open the possibility of change, but it's often not enough to sustain it.
