L&D in the Age of GenAI: Dani Johnson’s Wake Up Call

SHARE

L&D’s impact has been cut in half in just a few years. Why? And what should learning leaders do about it? 

In this episode of Being Intrepid, Sam Herring sits down with Dani Johnson, Co-Founder and Principal Analyst at RedThread Research, for a frank look at where corporate learning stands today and where it must go next. 

Dani explains how L&D missed its moment during the pandemic, why GenAI poses both a threat and an opportunity, and what it will take for learning leaders to reclaim their mantle: ensuring a skilled workforce. 

You’ll also hear why efficiency is not enough, why systems matter more than individual fixes, and how the “unsexy” side of GenAI (data and insights) could change everything. 

What we cover: 

  • Why L&D influence halved in recent years and how to rebuild it 
  • Balancing efficiency with deep skill building in your portfolio 
  • High-impact “unsexy” AI use cases you can’t ignore 
  • Defining L&D’s true remit around skills
