In this conversation, CEO of The LPI, Edmund Monk and CIO of Explorance Shawn Overcast, discuss the changes in educational approaches over the last twenty years. They explore how the responsibility for learning has shifted within organisations and address challenges related to time constraints.

The conversation delves into the essential factors influencing the future of Learning and Development (L&D), covering topics such as measuring impact, the humanisation of digital learning, and the crucial role of skills in the contemporary workforce. Furthermore, it touches on the evolving perception of learning, transforming it from being viewed as a cost to being recognised as an investment in employee development.

This discussion captures the dynamic evolution of learning & development in organisations, spanning key themes over time. Highlights include:

  • Empowering Individual Learning: The responsibility for learning has shifted from L&D to individuals, necessitating a move from governance to support and motivation. The primary challenge identified is the establishment of a learning culture.
  • Measuring Impact: The traditional approach of counting course attendees is replaced by a focus on data-driven decisions aligned with long-term strategies. The importance lies in understanding the wisdom needed for future choices.
  • Humanisation of Digital Learning: In a tech-dominated era, the value of mentoring and coaching emerges as a counterbalance. The human side of digital learning is emphasised for employee engagement and value proposition.
  • Skills Economy: Organisations emphasise upskilling and reskilling as a response to a skills-based economy, with a shift from job-trained to skill-based results. Continuous learning becomes vital for individual development and organisational success.
