Cohort Learning in the Age of AI: Driving Alignment, Connection, and Impact In Times of Change
Almost everyone already uses generative artificial intelligence (AI) at work, but most people are apprehensive about the technology’s impact on their professional and personal lives. While generative AI reduces repetitive tasks, it also makes life at work more isolated.

During this talk, we will delve into the power of cohort learning to engage employees, convey complex concepts and cultivate community within and beyond traditional enterprises. We’ll discuss how to broaden your audience and learning approach to engage a wider pool of potential talent and strengthen relationships with employees, customers, partners and communities. Don’t miss this opportunity to learn how to place peer-to-peer community and interaction at the forefront of your learning strategy.
Key takeaways from this session include:
