In today's rapidly evolving digital landscape, L&D leaders face the significant challenge of not just understanding individual technologies (AI, xAPI, Data Analytics, Video, LXPs, XR, etc.) but also managing how these technologies interconnect to form a cohesive learning technology ecosystem. This is compounded by the relentless pace of technological advancements, making it difficult for learning leaders to keep up. Join Megan as she guides you through the Learning Technology Ecosystem.

No one has the time, budget, or change capacity to effectively direct an entire ecosystem all at once. Many leaders are reactive, adopting new technologies in isolation without a strategic view of how each piece fits within the broader ecosystem. In this session, Megan will guide participants through the process of building a strategy and business case for building out the learning technology ecosystem, emphasizing the synergy between AI, xAPI, data analytics, and other key technologies. By focusing on the ecosystem as a whole rather than individual technologies in isolation, we aim to empower learning leaders to make more informed decisions, leverage technology more effectively, and drive meaningful learning experiences in their organizations. We'll also acknowledge that the learning ecosystem encompasses more than just learning technologies: it includes business systems, people, skills, relationships, and suppliers.

In this session, you will learn:

  • What components make for a well-rounded learning ecosystem strategy,
  • How the template used for the map of the ecosystem influences focus and strategy
  • How to map the ecosystem and identify key capabilities,
  • How to plan a path forward given limited time, budget, resources, and change capacity
