In my latestDynamic Leader Conversation, I sit down withSerena Gonsalves-Fersch to challenge one of the biggest assumptions in organisations today: that learning and development is responsible for developing people.
Serena brings more than25 years in learning and talent (and a doctorate on the future of learning in hyper-growth organisations) and she shares a bold perspective:“L&D is dead, long live learning.”
What she really means is that leaders can’t outsource capability building to courses, platforms, and frameworks. If we want adaptable, capable teams in today’s complex environment,leaders must take ownership of developing people and creating the conditions where learning actually happens.
In this conversation we explore:
• Why many L&D functions struggle to stay relevant.
• The risk of relying on platforms and content libraries to solve performance problems.
• Why learning must be grounded inbusiness value.
• The human leadership skills that matter most in an AI-accelerated world.
It’s a bold and honest conversation aboutauthentic leadership, business relevance and the future of learning at work.
I’d love to hear your perspective:
Is L&D evolving - or becoming irrelevant?
