On September 25th, at ODILO, we had the pleasure of hosting “The Future of Learning and Development: How AI is Leading the Way,” an engaging and captivating webinar that delved into how artificial intelligence (AI) is revolutionizing learning and development. This session brought together industry pioneers, Meredith Wellard, VP of Talent, Learning & Development at DHL, Clare Verrall, Head of Learning & Development at ALEC and Kashif Kamal, L&D Manager at Julphar Pharmaceuticals. Together, they shared how AI is revolutionizing skill-building, talent development, and organizational adaptability in a rapidly changing workforce.
AI, shaping the future of workplace learning
Our panelists, with decades of professional experience, shared powerful insights into how AI is driving innovation across sectors. AI’s potential to analyze talent data, personalize learning pathways, and automate content creation is transforming L&D. This is especially critical in industries like logistics and pharmaceuticals, where precision, compliance, and agility are vital.
The discussion emphasized how AI-powered tutoring systems and real-time simulations are creating more dynamic learning environments, fostering both workforce agility and innovation. However, the speakers also highlighted the importance of balancing AI-driven solutions with the irreplaceable value of human expertise. While AI personalizes and streamlines the learning journey, the human element remains key to deeper engagement, critical thinking, and relationship-building within organizations.
Measuring ROI: the metrics that matter
A major takeaway from the webinar was the need to effectively measure the ROI of AI-driven L&D initiatives. Our speakers pointed out the importance of tracking key performance indicators (KPIs), including employee engagement, learning efficiency, and business outcomes, to ensure that AI-powered programs deliver lasting value. These metrics not only demonstrate the impact of AI in learning but also guide organizations toward continuous improvement in their L&D strategies.
Working toward a more innovative learning environment
As AI continues to reshape the future of learning and development, it’s clear that organizations need to stay ahead of the curve. This webinar provided valuable insights into how AI is helping companies build more adaptive, innovative learning cultures. At ODILO, we are committed to supporting organizations in leveraging AI technologies to drive growth, upskilling, and organizational resilience.
