AI is reshaping the career milestones talent leaders have relied on for decades.

How do we know “it” is working? AI, training solutions, behavior modification—what is the ROI and what is the cost? This interactive workshop will share new data on how AI and industry change have impacted human performance and measures that can be taken using Insights Discovery’s offerings to help participants manage through change, increase uptake of new technologies and processes, and maintain essential skills such as listening, perception, and critical thinking.

Most AI conversations stay trapped in slide decks, strategy talk, and tool demos. This hands-on workshop breaks out of that mold. Using LEGO® Serious Play, participants will surface the unspoken beliefs, tensions, and hopes shaping AI adoption—and leave with a simple facilitation method they can immediately adapt with their own teams.

Move beyond completion rates and smile sheets to tell the real story of learning impact.
