Who should attend
Learning Leaders
Senior Learning & Development Managers and Directors seeking to increase team throughput and shorten time-to-delivery with AI-supported workflows
Curriculum Owners
Learning and Curriculum Designers aiming to accelerate learning analysis, design, and creation to optimize their L&D workflow
Business Operators
Leaders overseeing an L&D function who need pragmatic, low-friction ways to boost productivity without expanding headcount
Build a durable AI adoption strategy to boost L&D productivity
What we'll explore:
Plan
Identify high-leverage AI use cases, map your current L&D design-to-delivery flow, and calculate productivity targets (throughput, time-to-first-draft).
Prompt
Build reusable prompt frameworks and SME-agent scaffolds tailored to your programs to cut handoffs and speed expert input.
Create
Produce a course outline, storyboard, content and assessment items with human-in-the-loop QA to optimize cycle time with minimized impact to quality.
Apply
Establish guardrails, roles, and a lightweight metrics plan to surface low-lift AI opportunities in existing tools and sustain productivity gains at scale.

What good will look like
AI integrated into L&D workflows
AI as a co-pilot in discrete steps - intake, research, drafting, and QA. Standardize prompt patterns, guardrails, and review rituals to lift throughput with human-in-the-loop control and productivity KPIs
L&D intelligently automated
Move from assist to automation: orchestrate agents that triage requests, synthesize research, generate first drafts, and route QA. Connect to your authoring/LMS stack, track SLAs (cycle time, review turnaround), and free capacity to scale output.
Integrated learning ecosystem
L&D shifts to pedagogical consulting and designing prompts, agents, and guardrails to ensure learning efficacy. Functional learning uses business intelligence to deliver hyper-contextual tutoring in the flow of work.
Discussion topics
Define an AI-assisted learning innovation mindset
Adopt connection-first problem framing and rapid iteration to cut time-to-first-draft and lift L&D team throughput.
Prompt engineering & SME agents for L&D
Build reusable prompt patterns and SME-style agents to speed expert input, drafting, and reviews—without adding headcount.
AI-accelerated research, synthesis & prototyping
Use AI to synthesize sources, generate outlines and assessments, and prototype solutions in a hands-on test-and-learn lab (informed by the Learning Safari).
Plan the operationalization of AI in L&D workflows
Integrate AI with current tools, set human-in-the-loop guardrails, and establish team rituals that sustain productivity gains at scale
