KEY TAKEAWAYS

Standing still in today’s landscape is risky, L&D needs to go beyond producing content and become an indispensable partner in workforce performance.

Egel shares and explains the 3 future models L&D can use to evolve and become invaluable within their business - Skills Authority, Enablement Partner, and Adaptation Engine.

Not adopting AI is becoming a career-limiting risk for L&D professionals. Your performance is likely to be defined by whether and how you work with AI.
