AI killed the old excuse for L&D. What replaces it is a function built on skills, knowledge, learning, and agents — and most organizations aren’t there yet.

Content isn’t going away. But it stopped being the reason L&D exists.

New research from Don Taylor and Eglė Vinauskaitė says there are three real answers to what L&D becomes next — Skills Authority, Enablement Partner, Adaptation Engine. Most organizations are trying to do all three badly instead of picking one.

Don, Eglė, and Docebo CEO Alessio Artuffo got into a room to argue about it live. No slide read. Real disagreement.

You’ll walk away with:

• The difference between doing the activities and actually having an organizing logic
• Why “Skills Authority” is everyone’s default — and how to know if it’s actually right for you
• What it takes to run L&D on skills, knowledge, and AI agents, not just content
• Three questions to ask before you commit your org to a direction it won’t support
