Learning & AI: Investing Wisely in the Future of Skill Development

Can Artificial Intelligence (AI) truly transform learning, or is it just another overhyped trend? As we stand at the brink of a new era, one where hybrid work, generative AI, and the entry of a new generation into the workforce redefine the rules of the game, the future of learning is at a crossroads. 

The People Matters L&D Conference 2024 in Mumbai, themed “Undo. Redo. Outdo: Drive Transformation Through Action,” will take a hard look at this intersection, offering organisations the chance to gain the clarity they need to invest wisely in AI-driven learning strategies.

With workplace roles evolving faster than ever, Learning & Development (L&D) leaders face an unprecedented challenge. How can they use AI to unlock the future of skill development? How do they ensure they aren’t investing in the wrong technologies? These are just some of the pressing questions Nick Shackleton Jones, CEO and Founder of Shackleton Consulting, will address in his keynote, “Learning & AI: Learn How To Invest Wisely,” during the conference on October 16, 2024.

This year’s conference theme focuses on empowering organisations to navigate the profound transformation occurring at the intersection of work, workers, and the workplace. With hybrid work becoming permanent, a new generation of employees entering the workforce, and AI-driven technologies reshaping industries, the urgency for upskilling and reskilling has never been greater. 

The conference provides L&D leaders with essential strategies to adapt and thrive, structured around four key pillars: cultivating a learning-centric culture, evolving L&D functions through innovative technologies, embracing tech-augmented learning with ethical governance, and empowering employees to drive their personal growth and development.
