Listen "Learning as the Strategic Lever"
Episode Synopsis
Far from being an HR silo, learning is the strategic lever that unlocks resilience, retention, and reinvention. As organisations grapple with skills shortages, the rise of AI, cultural change, and the urgent need for talent retention and succession planning, learning has moved centre stage. This episode creates a buzz around learning by showing its direct business impact and sparking new ways to think about its role in transformation. Host Meg Dunphy opens the conversation with Linda Waters, Senior Employer Solutions Manager, CIPD, Robert Mac Giolla Phadraig, Founder and CEO, SkillStack and Michelle McShortall, Advisory Services Manager, Intuition to bring clarity and energy to the big questions: What are we doing right now? – Tackling disruption through reskilling and agility. What are we doing for tomorrow? – Building sustainable pipelines of skills and leaders. Real-life examples – Stories of organisations reinventing their approach to learning. The frontier of transformation – Where culture, technology, and human potential converge. AI-powered personalisation – How intelligent tools are tailoring learning to individuals, making it easier for time-poor executives and employees to get exactly what they need, when they need it.
