Depending on who you ask, the current trends in learning can be any, some, or all of the following:

• Integrating AI into L&D programmes
• Competition in the L&D supplier market
• Talking AI ethics at work
• What strategies can we employ to personalise learning experiences for diverse employee needs
• How do we address the skills gap in emerging technologies and ensure our workforce is future-ready
• Intelligent content
• Lack of strong development roadmap/market strategy of learning vendor services
• What emotional intelligence plays in our training programmes, and how can we enhance it
• The AI conversation imperative
• How we measure the return on investment (ROI) of our L&D initiatives
• Fostering peace at work
• Culture of continuous learning
• Climate action
• Ever-changing L&D purchasing requirements
• L&D initiatives promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI)
• Assessments through extended reality
• Emerging technologies in our L&D strategy

For people at the sharp end, in organisations delivering support to people, is it any wonder L&D is confusing – and some might say – confused?
