Subtle Secrets That Will Make or Break Your Workplace EdTech Implementation
Date Thursday, Dec 4 Time – Room: Potsdam III
EdTech is now business critical, but for many learning teams the landscape feels overwhelming. New platforms and AI promises create noise, while pressure mounts to show impact. This talk explores the overlooked details that make or break implementation. Drawing on The Eight Levers of EdTech Transformation, we will cover how to build a responsive target operating model, the role of AI agents, how to stress test EdTech for AI validity, and what it means to reimagine the L&D team in a course-less world. We will also highlight the emerging role of the Learning Experience Architect as a bridge between technology and human-centred design.
