Real Talk About Artificial Intelligence

From Courses to Conversations: Using AI for Workforce Training

Most organizations are using AI to create traditional learning content faster and cheaper. But AI’s real power is its ability to hold conversations, just like a human coach or facilitator. This session explores how AI tutors, coaches, and role-play partners can deliver personalized, adaptive training at scale in ways that static content never could.

Getting the Most From Microsoft Copilot

If your organization uses Microsoft 365, then Copilot is already embedded into your infrastructure, yet most teams are barely scratching the surface of what it can do.

In this session we will go from platform-agnostic fundamentals and best practices (how AI actually works) to specific use cases of Copilot across your Microsoft tenant, and help your team level up from treating Copilot like a better autocomplete to helping it accelerate and automate work at scale.  We’ll cover everything from when to use the general purpose chatbot to how you can create structured workflows that connect your Microsoft apps and outside integrations, while avoiding common pitfalls

Best for: Knowledge workers, team leaders, IT and productivity managers, and organizations that have already deployed Copilot but aren’t seeing the ROI they expected.

Building AI-Powered Simulations and Roleplays for High Stakes Training

Roleplay and simulation are highly effective training methods for high-stakes jobs, but they’re also the most expensive to scale. Learn how AI changes that equation by letting organizations deliver realistic practice without the usual costs or logistical burdens, plus practical guidance on developing AI powered scenarios.

Best for: Training managers, organizations with high-stakes skill requirements

Beyond Reporting: How AI Improves Transparency and Real-Time Performance Monitoring

For decades, organizations have been stuck measuring learning and job performance with proxy metrics: completion rates, quiz scores, customer feedback surveys- because we couldn’t afford to actually observe how well people do their jobs. AI changes that equation entirely, generating qualitative summaries of performance,, challenges, and readiness with actual insight and the ability to roll up those observations into a complete picture of the organization. This session explores how AI moves organizations reporting numbers to providing real strategic intelligence about workforce capability.

Best for: L&D leaders, CLOs, training managers, Operations & HR analytics teams
