The New Learning OS: A Blueprint for Workplace Readiness in the AI Era

We are at a tipping point. With the half-life of skills shrinking from years to months , 59% of the global workforce will require fundamental retraining by 2030. Yet, despite massive investments, 95% of AI initiatives are currently yielding zero value. The reason? Technology doesn’t transform businesses - people who know how to use it do. In this high-energy session, Arielle Gannon challenges leaders to stop viewing learning as an isolated task and start treating it as a critical business operating system. Using the metaphor of "Udemy City," Arielle will provide a strategic blueprint for building a connected, AI-native ecosystem where learning is embedded directly into the flow of work. This session is designed as a strategic handover. You’ll leave with a framework to audit your current strategy, identify performance gaps, and ask the hard questions needed to spark real change back at your organization.
