Have you ever trained a group of people on a given topic, then walked into the work area to find them doing exactly what you told them not to do? Every trainer has experienced this frustration. The hard truth is that training by itself won't change behavior—but there's a missing ingredient that can transform your training from forgettable to unforgettable.

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.  

When it comes to accountability, the focus is almost entirely on holding others responsible. But here’s the truth: real accountability doesn’t come from conversations—it comes from within.

AI has taken the learning world by storm. But for many, it remains limited to faster, cheaper, scalable content creation. What if that’s just the beginning? This ebook invites learning and development (L&D) leaders to step into a broader vision: using AI not just to build training, but to fundamentally redefine how we measure success, evolve instructional design, and personalize the learner experience. The insights in this ebook are drawn from a dynamic conversation between Josh Penzel, the former vice president of AI solutions at ELB Learning®, and Maya Mikel, AI product manager at Docebo. Their discussion explored not only the future of learning technology but also the strategic shifts required of L&D teams to stay ahead. Let’s unpack what it means to go beyond content and measure what matters.

As organizations navigate unprecedented workplace shifts, Human Experience Innovation (HXI) has emerged as a strategic imperative. In this webinar, attendees will discover how forward-thinking enterprises are moving beyond basic engagement metrics to deliver transformational employee experiences that fuel productivity, adoption, and enterprise value. This is a blueprint for building high-performing teams through science-backed experience design.  

Discover the brain science of emotional intelligence (EQ) and why it’s vital for both individual well-being and organizational success. EQ is 2X as predictive of performance than IQ, accounting for 80-90% of competencies that differentiate top performers. And 75% of derailed careers are related to emotional competencies like self-regulation and empathy.  

What happens when EI meets AI? It’s been said that "The future is not AI vs. humans. It’s AI with humans." Or how about this line of thinking? "Emotional intelligence is not the opposite of [rational] intelligence... it is the unique intersection of both."

By tying learning initiatives directly to your company’s goals, you transform training from a "nice to have" into a strategic driver of performance, retention, and results.

Machines can automate tasks, but they can’t replace the human art of winning hearts and minds. In a world run by bots, AI, and automation, influence is the differentiator that makes professionals effective, memorable, and indispensable.  

Every time a new generation enters the workforce, we complain about them. Gen X frustrated the Boomers; we all rolled our eyes when Millennials joined our teams; now we have Gen Zs… But this time, it turns out that, unlike any previous generation, this current one really is differently motivated—in scientifically significant ways. And those ways greatly impact the types of learning experiences they demand.    

Learning as an adult is hard. Indeed, it’s much harder than when we were kids and our brains had the plasticity of learning sponges. Today, our time at work is stretched too thin with a myriad of responsibilities and ever-changing priorities. Our attention is constantly sapped by a barrage of Slack messages, emails, texts, phone calls, and meetings. Our egos batted about like piñatas by near-constant feedback. So, it’s no wonder that when it comes time to take an elearning course at work, it’s natural that our defenses go up. You ask yourself, why should I take time from my crazy busy schedule to learn something marginally useful for my job, won’t fully engage me, will cause me to fall further behind on my long list of to-do’s, will make me feel like an idiot when I get questions wrong on the quiz, and which I’ll forget before the week is out?
