Elevate 50: What's next for L&D? Donald Taylor

For three years running, AI topped the list of what's hot in L&D. This year it dipped, and Donald H Taylor is taking it off the survey altogether. Don has run the Global Sentiment Survey for over a decade. In this Elevate episode, he joins host Michelle Parry-Slater to go back across five years of data and unpack what it actually tells us about where the profession is heading. They get into the transformation triangle's three destinations for L&D, the two separate futures Don thinks the profession may be splitting into, and why compliance training deserves to be taken seriously as a shop window rather than dismissed as a chore of endurance. And why hope on its own isn't enough. It needs action behind it, and courage for when things get hard. It's a conversation grounded in research, honest about what's difficult right now, full of ideas, and genuinely hopeful about what's next for L&D.
