I love that this article is called "Reimagined: Development in the Future of Work".
I love that this article is called "Reimagined: Development in the Future of Work". This is not a piece about reimagining "training", it's about accelerating and supporting performance. A place L&D squarely needs to focus on in the volatile world we're attempting to support.
Do I sound like a broken record yet? ๐ โ Our work/design needs to shift to the workflow and supporting learning and performance there! Here are three powerful quotes:
- "The boundary between learning and work has disappeared. The goal is no longer to ADD learning into the flow of work - itโs to MERGE work and development.ย Daily workย is now designed as a developmental engine. Instead of asking how to encourage employees to make time to learn, organizations are now asking: How do we make daily challengesย catalysts for growth?"
- "Organizations are striving to become skills-basedโusing skills as the foundation of talent processes to build a more agile, adaptive workforce.ย Achieving this vision requires embedding skills development into the flow of work and breaking down silos between HR, L&D, and other people functions to create a unified, skills-centric approach."
- "Learning measurement must move beyond measuring events to becoming full data ecosystems that track whatโs being learned, how, and toward what goals."

As someone whoโs worked in L&D for +25 years, Iโm tired of hearing: โL&D needs to align with business.โ Of course it does.
As someone whoโs worked in L&D for +25 years, Iโm tired of hearing: โL&D needs to align with business.โ Of course it does. But here's why we haven't.
Most HR leaders still treat L&D like a perk. But in this economy, it has to be a performance lever.
This is what I took from reading a recent article published in HR Executive that makes a strong case for HR embracing a new era of L&D. But hereโs the problem: the old era never really ended for many organisations.
Despite years of talk about aligning learning with the business, most HR and L&D teams still prioritise:
- Courses over capabilities
- Content libraries over clear outcomes
- Engagement metrics over business impact
And now, with AI, skills shortages and constant disruption, weโre finally being told: Itโs time to take L&D seriously.
So what are we waiting for?
If L&D is going to earn its place at the strategy table, we (and our HR leaders) need to stop thinking and acting like weโre a support function and start behaving as a mechanism for business performance.
That means:
- Defining learning by the problems it solves
- Working backwards from performance gaps rather than starting with content or programs
- Using data to diagnose and influence, not just report on attendance and completions
The opportunity here isnโt just to โembrace a new eraโ, itโs to lead it.
So hereโs my challenge to HR and L&D leaders alike:
- Are you going to double down on whatโs comfortable?
- Or are you ready to lead learning like performance depends on it (because it now does)?
Thank you Dani Johnson from RedThread Research for your insights in this article.

Global companies are spending billions on Learning & Development but skills gaps are still growing. An Explanation
Global companies are spending billions on Learning & Development but skills gaps are still growing. Hereโs whatโs going on.
According to McKinsey, 87% of companies say theyโre facing a skills gap right now and yet L&D budgets are still creeping up, overall. Learning platforms are everywhere. Content is abundant.
Something doesnโt add up.
Hereโs what I think:
Weโre not solving the skills gap because weโre not actually focused on skills.
Weโre still focused on learning activity:
Hours spent learning. Hits on the LMS. Content consumed. Satisfaction achieved.
All under the assumption that more learning = more capability.
But thatโs not how it works.
People donโt build skills by attending programs or consuming content.
They build skills by doing the work differently, with clarity, feedback, practice and support.
And that only happens when L&D is laser-focused on performance:
- What people are expected to do
- Whatโs getting in their way
- And what will help them get better at it
Until we stop measuring our success by what we deliver and start measuring it by what improves, weโll keep pouring money into the same hole.
The skills gap isnโt a learning problem.
Itโs a performance problem.
If we want to close the skills gap, we need to stop acting like content is the solution and start treating capability as the goal.
Because until we make the shift from learning inputs to performance outcomes, weโre not developing skills, weโre just delivering learning.
And not only is that not enough, the skills gaps will keep growing.

Since the launch of the L&D Maturity Model in March, Iโve been able to assess the collective maturity of the profession.
Since the launch of the L&D Maturity Model in March, Iโve been able to assess the collective maturity of the profession. Some results are surprising - and troubling. Here's a breakdown and my call to action for L&D leaders:
BACKGROUND
There are 7 themes in the L&D Maturity Model:
- Learning strategy
- Leadership alignment
- SME collaboration
- Learner engagement
- Learning needs identification
- Training processes
- Learning metrics
PROBLEM
Of these themes, L&D professionals have self-assessed their functions as the LEAST MATURE in:
- Learning needs identification
- Learner engagement
- Learning metrics
I'm not sure about you, but I see this as alarming because what this tells me is:
1. We donโt know if weโre working on the right things.
2. Learners donโt often engage.
3. Weโre not able to measure our impact.
The relationship between each of these is fundamental to the success of our function and yet our maturity is lowest on them.
SOLUTION
Imagine L&D was its own business for a moment.
If that was the case, we would see its critical path as:
1) Align on the biggest challenges
Before anything else, we need to ruthlessly align to the biggest challenges facing our organisation and our employees. No more assumptions, we need to validate with data and before we spend any time (let alone money, effort and credibility), we need to ensure our intake process is robust.
2) Quantify the challenges and determine what success looks like
Put metrics to the problems at the outset and determine what success weโre aiming for, i.e. bake measurement into the initial planning stage and then measure milestones towards it. If it canโt be quantified, donโt do it!
3) Engage learners like problem-solving partners
Help learners understand what's at stake and the role they play in the solution. Share the data with them, understand their lived experience and co-create alongside them and their more experienced peers and colleagues.
Anything other than this would be a wild swing, the business would burn money and weโd go out of business.
TAKEAWAY
L&D maturity isnโt taking what we're already doing and just doing it a little bit better.
It's about transforming what we're doing entirely.
Itโs about connecting with both the reason L&D should exist in the organisation and the possibilities that a mature and functioning department can bring.
We cannot stop at building an L&D storefront of generic 'solutions'.
L&D maturity starts with believing in more, creating a vision of a business aligned function, articulating the benefits and engaging all stakeholders.
This versus a shop front approach to L&D is a no-brainer. Often itโs our abilities to articulate the vision and sell it to stakeholders (including our own teams) thatโs holding us back.

"Stakeholder Management in der betrieblichen Bildung"
Groร Lindow, Juli 2025 - Der Bildungs-Stakeholder "Betriebsrat" nimmt eine zentrale Rolle ein, wenn es um Compliance im Unternehmen geht. Der Betriebsrat verfรผgt nรคmlich รผber ein gesetzlich verankertes Mitbestimmungsrecht bei allen Maรnahmen, die compliance-relevante Aspekte betreffen โ etwa Regelungen zum Datenschutz oder zur Leistungs- und Verhaltenskontrolle. Und da mittlerweile nahezu jedes IT-System, jedes Tool oder jede Anwendung โ insbesondere solche mit KI-Funktionalitรคten โ personenbezogene Daten erhebt und verwendet, ist es nachvollziehbar, dass der Betriebsrat in diesen Zeiten stark gefordert ist.

If I could wave a magic wand over Learning & Development, Iโd remove one thing.
If I could wave a magic wand over Learning & Development, Iโd remove one thing. One thing that would immediately improve everything from our impact to our efficiency.
That one thing would be: Everybodyโs expectations of what L&D is supposed to do.
And I mean everybodyโฆ
Senior leaders
Line managers
The workforce
HR
And yes, even us in L&D
Because the biggest barrier to impactful Learning & Development isnโt budget, bandwidth or buy-inโฆ
Itโs the baggage.
Weโre carrying around decades of assumptions about what L&D should look like that have very little to do with actually improving performance or closing skills gaps.
If we could hit reset and define our role from scratch weโd operate very differently. Weโd prioritise:
- Support over solutions
- Performance over participation
- Outcomes over optics
But we donโt, because everyone thinks they know what L&D should be.
And thatโs whatโs holding us back.
So hereโs the real challenge:
Can we slowly but surely rewrite the narrative starting with how we talk about both: what we do and the value we bring?

The social signals behind employee retention "Research has long shown that employees at the center of an organizational networkโthose with many active connectionsโare 24 percent less likely to leave."
The social signals behind employee retention
"Research has long shown that employees at the center of an organizational networkโthose with many active connectionsโare 24 percent less likely to leave."
๐ค Michael Arena and Aaron Chasan highlight an important insight: employee connection, not just engagement, is the true bedrock of retention: ๐ โIn todayโs networked workplace, social withdrawal is often the firstโand most reliableโindicator that someoneโs already halfway out the door.โ
For HR to genuinely impact business performance and employee experience, we must leverage social signals to build robust internal networks.
Michael and Aaron outline four high-impact ways HR can proactively employee connection and significantly reduce attrition:
๐ Utilise network analysis: Identify early flight risks by spotting employees with few or declining connections.
๐ Facilitate connection moments: Deliberately create opportunities for interaction, especially in hybrid settings, using tools like interest-based matching.
๐ Support relationship-rich teams: Encourage cross-functional initiatives and invest in psychologically safe team cultures.
๐ Routinely pulse central employees: Their engagement profoundly influences the entire network.

Upskilling in the AI era is fundamental for every company regardless of size and is often viewed as a necessary business investment. Additionally, many companies connect workforce upskilling to business functions (operations, manufacturing, legal, etc.
EY just broke the biggest lie in corporate learning.
EY just broke the biggest lie in corporate learning.
They trained 44,000 employees internally. Then launched an AI Academy using 200 real-world use cases. The result? 50+ actual AI projects launched across five enterprises. Plus leadership-driven AI manifestos.
That's the story I shared recently.
It got more reactions and shares than anything I've posted.
The support:
โณ Those who liked and shared it
โณ "We're already doing this approach"
โณ "This is exactly what we want to implement"
But what I liked the most is how the experts responded.
The pushback:
โณ "50 projects means nothing without context"
โณ "What about the projects that failed?"
โณ "Where's your control group?"
โณ "This sounds like survivor bias"
โณ "Did you measure actual skill transfer?"
โณ "Will this work for topics other than AI?"
โณ "Correlation isn't causation"
Fair points. All of them.
But here's what I'm doubling down on:
We're measuring the wrong damn things.
L&D isn't in the learning business. We're in the building business.
L&D's focus should be simple:
โณ What solutions can our people build?
Our measurement strategy should be reimagined around that core ability.
Not:
โณ Did they complete the course?
โณ Did they pass the quiz?
โณ Did they like the content?
While we debate attribution methodology:
โณ 97% of enterprises still cite talent gaps
โณ $366B spent annually on corporate training
โณ Minimal business impact to show for it
The uncomfortable truth?
Perfect measurement of learning consumption โ Performance change
EY's numbers might be messy.
โณ Their attribution might be flawed.
โณ Their methodology might be incomplete.
But they're asking the right question:
"What did people actually build?"
The experts want rigor. I want it too.
But let's get rigorous about what matters:
โณ Solutions created
โณ Problems solved
โณ Value delivered
I'm building a coalition of L&D leaders ready to abandon traditional metrics.
If you're already measuring "what people build" - I want to hear your story.
If you're ready to start - let's connect and figure this out together.

Not content. Experience. Not fun. Impact. Not learning events. Real, transformative interactions that can shift how we think, feel, and perform.
Weโre at a turning point. AI can generate faster, broader, cheaper content than ever. So the real differentiator isnโt knowledge, itโs experience design that actually influences behaviour and builds people's capability.
And thatโs tough.
Because designing for experience means starting with the challenges people face, not topics or content.
It means accepting that 'learning' doesnโt always feel good, in fact, itโs often the sting of experience that actually drives change.
Itโs layered too. Like an onion.
The micro layer: our senses and emotions
The meso layer: the interactions and activities weโre part of
The macro layer: the strategic shifts in thinking and behaviour
Some of the best experiences are completely invisible. Others stop us in our tracks and change us forever.
But theyโre rarely a one-off event. The most powerful ones are embedded in how we work, not added on after the fact.
So letโs stop trying to make learning cute or entertaining (ie the Disneyfication effect).
Letโs stop pretending every experience needs to feel good.
Be honest. Build whatโs real. And what actually makes a difference.
Because if AI owns the content, then weโve got to own the context. This means suba diving (see previous post..it will make sense, i promise), not snorkelling.
If youโre interested in learning design that genuinely supports performance and growth, feel free to get in touch. As many know, I love talking about it.
An eagerness to learn is essential for innovation.
An eagerness to learn is essential for innovation.
But the way we learnโand the order in which we partake in various learning activitiesโcan make the difference between effective growth and potential missed opportunities.
Jean-Franรงois Harvey, Johnathan Cromwell, Kevin J. Johnson, and I studied more than 160 innovation teams and found that the key to faster, clearer progress is:
Structured learning ๐ท๐๏ธ
Our research, published in the Administrative Science Quarterly Journal, highlights four distinct types of learning behaviors used by high-performing teams and examines variations in the sequence and blend of these types of team learning.
Without a deliberate rhythm, teams risk becoming overwhelmed by continual information intake, leading to confusion and burnout. But by honing a team's ideal 'learning rhythm,' you can avoid overwhelm and instead focus on strategic decision-making and sustainable innovation.

The Learning Journey That Led to Nowhere
The carefully curated โlearning journey.โ
Polished decks. Inspiring speakers. Branded workbooks. The kickoff, the modules, the reflection points, the wrap-up. The capstone .
It all looked beautiful.
But no one changed.
No one led differently.
No one made a better decision, helped somebody else, solved a harder problem, or grew in any measurable way.
They left as they cameโonly now with a certificate and a champagne toast.
And we called it success. Why? Because the survey said they liked it.
Because someone said it โlanded well.โ
Because it fit the budget, the time box, and the LMS tracked completion.
But deep down, we know better.
We know that most learning programs donโt stick. They donโt demand enough.
They donโt disturb the old habits.
They donโt connect to the real pressures people actually face at work and in life.
Weโve made learning comfortable when itโs supposed to be disruptive and difficult. Weโve made it a journeyโwhen it shouldโve been an expedition.
As practitioners, we carry some of the blame. We built what would be approved, not what was required. We chased polish over power. And we told ourselves that โawarenessโ was enough.
Because if they leave the same way they arrivedโwas it a journey at all.

What is learning? [3 mins] You donโt really need to understand something to work with it - but it sure does help!
For a long time I felt that if we wanted to answer questions such as โhow do we design learning experiences?โ, โhow do we measure learning?โ, โwhat is our pedagogy based on?โ - or even just explain to stakeholders what it is that we do - then it would help to have an understanding of learning.

'You canโt accomplish anything if your stakeholders arenโt on board.'
After delivering hundreds of Human Centred Design (5Diยฉ) workshops, โStakeholdersโ is one of the topics that comes up time & time again: L&D want to do one thing, the business another. Whatโs required is a consultative approach rather than an adversarial one - partnering not pushback.

In der aktuellen Wirtschaftswoche (1)ย plรคdieren Julian Kirchherr und Cawa Younosi fรผr โNO HRโ, d. h. die Abschaffung des gesamten Personalbereiches mithilfe Generativer KI und die Rรผckverlagerung von HR-Aufgaben ins Management.
Alles, was besonders viel Fingerspitzengefรผhl verlangt, insbesondere die Entwicklung ihrer Mitarbeitenden, gehรถrt danach in die Verantwortung der Fรผhrungskrรคfte. Routinetรคtigkeiten wie das Erstellen von Arbeitsvertrรคgen, Schulungszertifikaten oder die erste Sichtung von Bewerbungen รผbernimmt die Maschine.
Ihre Hauptargumente sind:
ย โข Die Fรผhrungskrรคfte sollen Personalaufgaben direkt verantworten, um eine engere Verknรผpfung der strategischen Unternehmensziele mit dem Personalmanagement zu erreichen.ย
ย โข Traditionelle HR-Abteilungen sollten in ihren Strukturen รผberdacht oder sogar abgeschafft werden, um mehr Agilitรคt zu ermรถglichen. Nicht nur administrative Aufgaben wie Arbeitsvertrรคge, werden automatisiert, auch Arbeitszeugnisse oder Umfragen werden mit Hilfe der KI bearbeitet.
Was auf den ersten Blick sehr radikal wirkt, beinhaltet aus meiner Sicht diskussionswรผrdige Aspekte. Mit diesem Vorschlag rรผcken viele Aufgaben wieder dorthin, wo sie eigentlich schon immer hingehรถrten, zur Fรผhrungskraft. Zu ihrer Verantwortung rechnen danach Onboarding, Nachfolgeplanung oder die gezielte Skillsentwicklung im Team sowie Fragen von Kultur und Transformation. Sie entwickeln sich zu โ๐ฃ๐ฒ๐ผ๐ฝ๐น๐ฒ ๐ ๐ฎ๐ป๐ฎ๐ด๐ฒ๐ฟ*๐ถ๐ป๐ป๐ฒ๐ปโ.
Ich bin der รberzeugung, dass weiterhin eine HR-Funktion benรถtigt wird, aber mit relativ wenigen, hoch spezialisierten Expert*innen, z. B. fรผr die mittelfristige Personalbedarfsplanung und insbesondere fรผr ๐๐ฒ๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ป๐ถ๐ป๐ด & ๐๐ฒ๐๐ฒ๐น๐ผ๐ฝ๐บ๐ฒ๐ป๐.
Im Future Learning stehen nรคmlich die Mitarbeitenden im Mittelpunkt, die mit Unterstรผtzung der KI selbst ihre Lernpfade planen und im Arbeitsprozess umsetzen. Ihre Fรผhrungskrรคfte werden deshalb zu ihren Entwicklungspartner*innen, die ihre personalisierten Lernpfade ermรถglichen.

So habe ich mir ein ยปzweites Gehirnยซ gebaut, um mein Leben besser zu organisieren
Nichts vergessen und alles schnell finden: Seit einigen Monaten nutze ich ein einfaches System, um wichtige Daten und Informationen aus meinem Leben besser zu speichern und zu organisieren. So funktioniert es.
Talent-Horter oder Talent-Fรถrderer? Die Skill-Revolution mit DHL und Bayer - GOOD MORNING L&D
โNicht wer du bist, sondern was du kannst, entscheidet รผber deine Rolle.โ โ Ein Paradigmenwechsel, der gerade dabei ist, unsere Arbeitswelt auf den Kopf zu s...
Saw this move from Google this morningโthanks to Marc Steven Ramos (a very fine creator and curator of thought-provoking content). This statement towards the end stood out for me: many of the platformโs โcourses were unused,โ and โnot relevant to the work we do today.โ
But Google is not representative of most companies. Not even of tech companies. They can (and should!) be AI-first in every respectโyesterday. Virtually all other companies will take a slower approach, maintaining their learning content and systems, for now.
So donโt think you need to drop everything immediately. Instead, work out what a more measured approach looks like for your organisation. Think about how youโre preparing your data, metadata, internal and external contentโand your peopleโfor this not-so-distant future when agents are doing more and more of the work, multiplying productivity. Help your company lead the wayโdonโt await instructions!
That said, I think most three-year horizons will include the other big pull quote from this piece:
Google will โfocus on teaching employees how to use modern artificial intelligence tools in their daily work routines.โ
That, I believe, is where the most worthyโand therefore sustainableโL&D efforts lie: not in creating courses and force-feeding them to people, but in enabling people to work better with AI.

Wir erleben aktuell, verstรคrkt durch die Kรผnstliche Intelligenz, einen Paradigmenwechsel, der diese betriebliche Didaktik auf den Kopf stellt:
ย โข Formelle Bildungsangebote auf Basis von Curricula werden nach und nach durch โ๐๐น๐ถ๐ฝ๐ฝ๐ฒ๐ฑ ๐๐๐ฟ๐ฟ๐ถ๐ฐ๐๐น๐ฎโ (vgl. Sabine Seufert 2024) ersetzt. Danach bilden Werte und Kompetenzen โ Soft Skills โ die Ziele des Corporate Learning. Wissen und Qualifikation sind natรผrlich weiterhin notwendig, sind aber nicht mehr das Ziel des Lernens, sondern die notwendige Voraussetzung. Dies bedeutet, dass das erforderliche Wissen beispielsweise auch kuratiert durch die KI zur Verfรผgung gestelltย werden kann.
ย โข Der wichtigste Lernort wird der ๐๐ฟ๐ฏ๐ฒ๐ถ๐๐๐ฝ๐ฟ๐ผ๐๐ฒ๐๐, weil Werte und Kompetenzen nur selbstorganisiert bei der Bewรคltigung von realen Herausforderungen aufgebaut werden kรถnnen.
Daraus ergibt sich folgender Planungsrythmus.
1. Am Anfang steht die Frage, in welcher ๐ฃ๐ฟ๐ฎ๐ ๐ถ๐๐ต๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ฎ๐๐๐ณ๐ผ๐ฟ๐ฑ๐ฒ๐ฟ๐๐ป๐ด die angestrebten Soft-Skills aufgebaut werden kรถnnen. In Abstimmung mit ihren Fรผhrungskrรคften vereinbaren die Mitarbeitenden auf Basis ihrer Skills Diagnostik personalisierte Lernpfade im Arbeitsprozess.ย
ย 2. Im zweiten Schritt ist zu klรคren, welche ๐๐น๐ฎ๐ป๐ธ๐ถ๐ฒ๐ฟ๐๐ป๐ด die selbstorganisierten Lernprozesse der Mitarbeitenden benรถtigen. Dabei spielt das soziale Lernen eine zentrale Rolle. Begleitet werden diese Prozesse durch die Beratung und Begleitung durch Lernbegleitende und Expert*innen.
ย 3. Erst im dritten Schritt werden diese Lernmaรnahmen bei Bedarf durch ๐ง๐ฟ๐ฎ๐ถ๐ป๐ถ๐ป๐ด๐ ergรคnzt. Beispielsweise bieten sich Methodentrainings, z. B. zu SCRUM, an, wenn die ausgewรคhlten Praxisaufgaben nach agilen Prinzipien erfolgen sollen.ย
ย 4. In unterstรผtzenden ๐ช๐ฒ๐ถ๐๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ฏ๐ถ๐น๐ฑ๐๐ป๐ด๐๐บ๐ฎร๐ป๐ฎ๐ต๐บ๐ฒ๐ป kรถnnen Basiswissen und Grundqualifikationen aufgebaut oder Anstรถรe fรผr die selbstorganisierten Lernprozess gegeben werden.
Lernen erfolgt von Anfang an in der Praxis, indem Arbeiten und Lernen zusammenwachsen. Damit erรผbrigen sich Konzepte zur Fรถrderung des Lerntransfers weitgehend.
Die Verantwortung fรผr das Lernen wandert damit zu den Mitarbeitenden, die dabei von der Personalentwicklung und Ihrer Fรผhrungskraft unterstรผtzt werden.
-- Task criticality and risk are central considerations in performance support design. When there's high consequence for error (safety risks, costly damage, or life-or-death stakes) the skill guide design needs to be highly intentional, context-aware, and tightly integrated into the environment of use.
-- A skill guide is great in high-risk situations (we were in an airline context). In a low-stakes context a pre-flight checklist is great for trained pilots. It supports memory recall for the essential steps in a high-risk task.
-- In a context such as de-icing a plane, a diagram-based skill guide is great to illustrate the basic controls of the machine. This helps build mental models.
-- In flight simulation training, skill guides can walk a novice through tasks like starting the engine, adjusting trim, or responding to a warning light. These guides scaffold learning and reduce cognitive load in a controlled environment.
-- Of course, skill guides can't always replace training. Real-time control of a plane requires deeply embodied skill: fine motor control, situational awareness, and rapid decision-making. You can't guide someone through that just in time with a single page or even a tablet-based tool.
-- In life-critical systems, thereโs a threshold beyond which skill guides must give way to rigorous training, simulation, and certification. Performance support becomes a supplement, not a substitute in these contexts.
Bob and Con have had immeasurable impact on my career and perspective when it comes to human performance. I even asked Bob to write the foreword of my most recent book. Their 5 Moments of Need framework enables direct alignment to real-time needs of workers. The moments of need are:
1. New (When learning something for the first time)
2. More (When there's a need to deepen or expand knowledge or skills)
3. Apply (When performing a task or applying knowledge in real situations)
4. Solve (When encountering a problem or unexpected challenge)
5. Change (When adapting to change such as a new process, tool, or an organizational shift)
When learning is designed against these moments of need, job performance not only becomes more effective, but the worker gets more done quicker and with minimal disruption and frustration. By addressing these moments effectively, you can optimize learning outcomes and drive tangible results.
