Organisations increasingly recognise that traditional learning experiences were designed around systems, schedules, and completion metrics — not around how people actually learn and grow inside modern work.
Accordingly, just 7% of employees turn first to the learning system built for them when they need to grow.
Drawing on findings from the Weight of Development research, this episode explores what workforce development should feel like when it becomes more contextual, embedded, and responsive to employees’ real moments of need.
Lori Niles-Hofmann, a senior learning strategist with over 20 years of L&D experience, and Kristina Ryan, Vice President of Product and Design at Go1, unpack the operational trade-offs organisations normalised under the platform era, how expectations around learning are changing, and what both L&D leaders and technology providers need to rethink to make development feel genuinely useful again.
This episode is the first of a three-part series of podcasts in partnership with Go1, in which we explore one of the most important challenges facing our workplaces today: why workforce development has to leave the platform, and what leaders need to consider next. Join us as we cover:
What learning should actually feel like instead
How to operationalise this shift amid the growing complexity of modern organisations
