1 month ago | trainingzone.co.uk | Josh Bersin

If you’re working in L&D – whether as a practitioner or a supplier to this vast market – brace yourself for dramatic change. Why? Because everything is about to shift, including the very model of learning many have built their careers on. At the heart of this transformation is a move away from the traditional “publishing” model of learning. After 30 years of relative stability, we’re entering a new era: one defined by dynamic, real-time content. And that changes everything.

1 month ago | trainingzone.co.uk | Becky Norman

Leadership development is often seen as the responsibility of HR or L&D but the reality is more complex. Leaders don’t operate in a vacuum. Their day-to-day environment shapes their growth. Culture, expectations, workloads, team dynamics and organisational support all matter. It’s time to treat leadership development as a shared responsibility so everyone can play their part.
Agentic AI shakes up Learning Technologies 2025

2 months ago | trainingzone.co.uk | Becky Norman

Last week, the TrainingZone team travelled to Learning Technologies 2025 in London to unpack the talk of the L&D town. Across the two days, we experienced the usual LT mix – inspiration, energising conversations and helpful direction for the profession. But above all else, and perhaps unique to this year, LT2025 felt like a hard-hitting wake-up call. AI dominated the agenda.

Boundaryless performance in an AI world: Real-world examples, challenges and future implications

Mar 25, 2025 | trainingzone.co.uk | Markus Bernhardt |Becky Norman

This two-part series on boundaryless performance examines how AI is blurring the lines between work and learning, transforming the very nature of performance support. Part one, ‘From workflow learning to boundaryless performance’, examines these blurring boundaries in detail and introduces the ‘triage model’ adopted by leading organisations. In part two, we examine real-world use cases of boundaryless performance, alongside unsolved challenges and future implications.
Four practical tools for leaders who coach

Mar 19, 2025 | trainingzone.co.uk | Matt Somers |Jackie Clifford |Nigel Paine

Not all coaching is question-based. Leaders who coach at work need tools and techniques that work alongside their coaching questions to build a high-performing team. Just like a builder needs to select the right tools at each stage of the construction process to ensure a solid structure, leaders should ensure they choose the right tools to support them at various stages of the coaching process. Here, we’ll examine four popular tools for leaders who coach and to deploy them effectively.
From workflow learning to boundaryless performance: How AI is transforming work

Mar 18, 2025 | trainingzone.co.uk | Teresa Rose |Jackie Clifford |Nigel Paine |Lead Consultant

The concept of boundaryless performance reflects how AI is not just supporting performance but transforming its very nature. With technological advances in AI architecture, conversational interfaces, and knowledge management, we’re entering an era where support doesn’t just complement work, it becomes indistinguishable from it. In part one of this series on boundaryless performance, we’ll explore how AI architectures enable this shift and consider implications for organisations and workers.
