As AI and analytics transform learning, L&D teams face pressure to prove impact with metrics that often fall short. This interactive roundtable challenges the “data-driven” mindset, exploring a more balanced approach that blends analytics with human judgment and values both business outcomes and learner agency. Through small-group discussion and real-world cases, participants will examine what it means to be data-informed, using metrics as tools for insight rather than accountability, and will leave with models, language, and strategies to measure what truly matters.
