For years, organisations have invested heavily in learning platforms designed around scale, administration, and content delivery.
But employees increasingly bypass those systems entirely when they need help developing in real time. According to Go1 research, 47% of surveyed employees needed development support multiple times in the past month, yet fewer than one in ten turned to their formal learning platform first.
For employers, this presents a dilemma – are learning platforms the problem?
Chris Eigeland, Go1 CEO and Co-Founder, joins the HR Grapevine Podcast to explore this challenge. In this episode, we explore why workplace learning became disconnected from work itself, how AI is exposing long-standing structural issues in workforce development, and why the future may depend less on standalone platforms and more on development that appears naturally inside the flow of work.
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:
Why the platform-centric model is breaking down
What learning should actually feel like instead
How to operationalise this shift amid the growing complexity of modern organisations
