In this Brandon Hall Group™ Excellence at Work Podcast, Michael Rochelle, Chief Strategy Officer of Brandon Hall Group, sits down with Luke Owings, VP of Product at Abilitie, to explore how AI is transforming leadership development through innovative experiential learning approaches. The conversation examines the evolution of traditional training methods and how AI-enabled solutions are creating more engaging and effective learning experiences.
Key Discussion Points:
- Traditional Training Limitations: How conventional role-play exercises and case studies often fall short in providing meaningful leadership development experiences
- AI-Powered Innovation: The development of AI Cases, which combine interactive conversations with traditional case study methodologies to create immersive learning experiences
- Social Learning Integration: Why maintaining the social and community aspects of learning remains crucial even as AI capabilities expand
- Governance and Safety: Navigating the complexities of AI implementation, including data security, cross-border regulations, and bias prevention
- Personalization at Scale: Using AI to deliver customized feedback and guidance while maintaining the benefits of cohort-based learning
- Future Evolution: How AI will continue to transform both learning delivery and the fundamental skills needed by managers in AI-enabled organizations
The landscape of leadership development is experiencing a significant transformation, driven by AI technology that enhances rather than replaces human connection. Luke’s insights demonstrate how organizations can leverage AI to create more practical, personalized, and engaging learning experiences while maintaining the crucial social aspects of leadership development.
