In this guest blog post, Henrik Eriksen, VP of Global Strategic Alliances at LMS365, discusses the role of AI and the endless learning opportunities it brings to your workforce anytime, anywhere, on any device with LMS365 and Microsoft.
We stand at the precipice of a transformative era that will reshape the very fabric of our lives, our workplaces, and our interconnectedness. The Fourth Industrial Revolution, with its unprecedented scale, scope, and intricacy, promises a metamorphosis to all ways of our life.
Each industrial revolution has left an indelible mark on human progress. The first harnessed water and steam to mechanize production, while the second harnessed electric power to usher in mass production. The third revolution connected electronics and information technology, paving the way for automated manufacturing. Now, the fourth industrial revolution builds upon this digital evolution that has unfolded since the mid-20th century.
This revolution is characterized by a convergence of technologies so profound it blurs the boundaries between the physical, digital, and biological domains. Yet, amidst this transformative whirlwind, it's the role of artificial intelligence (AI) that stands as a beacon of change, promising to revolutionize the way we prepare and empower the modern workforce for the challenges and opportunities of this new era.
One of these challenges is the growing demand for continuous learning and talent development. This need is only propelled further by the shrinking shelf life for learned skills. In fact, in its Shift Index, Deloitte found the skills college graduates acquire during college have an expected shelf life of only five years, and that is for current students.
However, you can also see this decreasing skill shelf life impacting more tenured professionals, now needing to upskill and reskill at a more demanding pace in order to stay up to date and well-trained for the evolving workplace. This is where AI toolsets are being adopted by organizations to provide more tailored and automated skilling and development opportunities to their employees.
How AI is reshaping learning and talent development
AI has the highest potential to revolutionize learning management and talent development out of many technologies available today. AI is expected to see an annual growth rate of 37.3 percent between 2023 and 2030, only emphasizing the impact it will have for years to come. And when it comes to the learning management and talent development space, this technology is making huge strides in automating and tailoring employee training environments and opportunities.
AI can significantly improve learning management and talent development by providing differentiated and individualized learning experiences, automating administrative tasks, and assisting administrators in identifying areas where their employees need improvement.
Imagine a learning experience that is not only engaging but also personalized, aligned with your business objectives, and accessible right from the applications you use daily.
