How to Create a Successful AI-powered L&D Strategy

The skills your workforce needs are shifting faster than traditional L&D can keep up. New tools, new expectations, new ways of working, and yet most learning programs still rely on outdated content libraries, generic training, or “best guesses” about what people actually need.

An AI-powered, skills-based approach changes that. It gives L&D teams a clear map of skills, real data on gaps, and a way to align learning directly with business priorities — not just content consumption.

In this session, Mel MacMahon (Talaera) and David James (360Learning) break down what a modern L&D strategy looks like when it’s built on skills, supported by AI, and designed to move at the speed of the business. You’ll see what works, what doesn’t, and how top organizations are reshaping L&D to be more predictive, more targeted, and more effective.
