The shrinking work-age population and talent and skills shortages mean that organizations must consider reskilling or upskilling their workforce as an alternative to hiring to achieve the skills mix required to ensure long-term business survival in an increasingly VUCA world. Organizations must modernize and enhance the learning experience for their remote and hybrid workforces to minimize churn and maximize long-term engagement and retention while ensuring the workforce remains future-skills-ready.

Short term, learning platform vendors will be navigating peaks and troughs in platform demand while their clients’ changing circumstances are impacted by global economic conditions, regionally, and by sector.

The most pressing needs are cost-effective, agile, and adaptive learning platforms for onboarding, compliance, and future skilling across remote and hybrid teams. Vendors have launched new products to meet those needs.

Essential needs are met through enticing onboarding, compliance, and skills-specific programs. Organizations mature in their digital learning transformation journeys can embrace new modules focused on goals/OKRs, performance, rewards, and recognition, as learning tech and learning functions increasingly overlap with other areas of talent/HR.

The emergence of generative AI, while relatively new, could be one of the most impactful tech developments of recent times, transforming learning platforms substantially. While short-term market uncertainty prevails, the longer-term market opportunities for learning tech vendors are relatively buoyant.
