Reimagining Workplace Learning: Mindset, Technology and the Future of Work
Tue Dec 09 2025
In a fast-changing world, learning isn’t a checkbox; it’s a mindset.
Drawing on their knowledge of Learning and Development, Kasper and Donald explore how professional development has shifted from a top-down process to a self-driven pursuit. From apprenticeships enhanced by AI to peer-to-peer knowledge-sharing and digital courses that fit around flexible work, they discuss how organizations can build a genuine learning culture that lasts.
Explore the limits of technology in corporate learning and how AI can’t replace the human experience of mentorship, reflection and skill-building. Creating a culture of continuous learning takes time, trust and commitment from both leaders and individuals.
