  • Episode 3: Ready to End L&D as Just a Cost Center? Reimagine L&D as the New R&D!
    Oct 22 2024

    In this episode of 'The L&D Mindshift Podcast', we highlight the concerns expressed in a report by Donald H Taylor and Eglė Vinauskaitė, suggesting that AI-driven content production could devalue L&D's role, potentially leading to budget cuts and a perception of L&D as a cost center. The episode proposes an alternative vision outlined by Marc Ramos, where L&D takes on a proactive role akin to R&D, positioning itself as a strategic hub for innovation. We explore this approach through a SWOT analysis, detailing the challenges and opportunities involved.
