AI adoption has a people problem, not a tech problem

Jennie Marshall argues that while organisations are investing heavily in AI, too few are turning pilots into meaningful impact. The real barrier is not technology but leadership, culture and capability. To close the gap, leaders must build confidence, embed AI into workflows and measure adoption, not just expenditure at scale.

Employee engagement is rising up the agenda. So why can’t leaders agree on what it is?

Lisa Capra argues that employee engagement improves when leaders share a clear definition of what it means. Without that alignment, learning, communication and support become easily fragmented. Lisa explores why consistent leadership thinking matters, how disengagement affects performance and retention, and what organisations can do to build stronger workplace connection.

Is your organisation’s leadership judgement built by design, or by damage?

Helen Routledge argues that leadership judgement is rarely built in classrooms or reviews, but in high-pressure moments where the stakes are already real. She explores why relying on live exposure is costly, how the practice gap forms, and why organisations need safer ways for leaders to learn before consequences hit.

TJ interviews: Mark Travis Rivera about braver workplaces starting with belonging

Belonging takes more than statements and symbolic support. Mark Travis Rivera shares why inclusion must be built through listening, honest conversations and everyday action. This interview explores how leaders can challenge performative allyship, create braver organisations cultures and help people feel recognised, respected and able to do their best work.

Immersive learning platforms can close the readiness gap

Organisations need faster, more practical ways to prepare everyone for disruption. Lawrie Day explores why immersive, scenario-based learning, and the right platform, can help L&D leaders move beyond tick-box training, strengthen resilience, improve readiness, and deliver measurable results in a world shaped by cyber threats, regulation, and ever constant change.

Your capability framework’s completion rate is a vanity metric

Ben Satchwell warns that completion rates make capability framework rollouts look healthy while masking failure. Logging in and self-assessing proves compliance, not impact. Instead, measure one behavioural signal that completion can’t fake, e.g. development conversations, hiring decisions, plans that reference capabilities… One honest metric beats dashboards that only flatter activity.

The real challenge of AI adoption: JPMorgan’s culture and confidence during change

JPMorgan’s AI rollout shows that successful adoption depends less on the technology itself and more on trust, transparency and ownership. Nick Petschek argues that L&D leaders must treat AI implementation as a cultural change effort, helping people feel safe to experiment, shaping use through feedback and building confidence over time.
