As you no doubt have noticed, there’s been tremendous progress made in applying artificial intelligence (AI) to life sciences learning and development. And we are only at the beginning.
AI has the potential to dramatically improve the effectiveness and efficiency of learning. But those gains won’t necessarily translate into improvements in performance unless they are embedded in an end-to-end process that is firmly linked to business objectives and supported on the job.
Join us for this 30-minutes interactive LTEN webinar as we review the ways AI is expected to transform learning and development. We’ll discuss why AI alone is insufficient to ensure performance improvement and we’ll introduce the six disciplines that will continue to be critical to ensure that learning and development initiatives (with or without AI) add value.
In this webinar, you will learn:

The areas of L&D that will likely be most affected by AI so you can begin to prepare yourself.
Why AI alone won’t ensure results.
The six disciplines needed to ensure AI delivers on its promise in L&D.
