The LPI and Abodoo connect learning team capability with workforce skills intelligence
The collaboration combines human-led assessment and development with AI-powered technology to help organisations address skills gaps that affect business performance.
The Learning and Performance Institute (the LPI) is working with Abodoo to help organisations understand their workforce skills needs and strengthen the learning teams responsible for supporting development across the business.
As AI changes how people work, organisations need a clearer view of the skills different roles require, where capability gaps exist and how well their learning provision addresses them. Learning leaders also need to understand whether their own teams have the capability to guide that work alongside business leaders.
The collaboration brings together two complementary areas of expertise.
The LPI provides Capability Map Team Assessments, expert consulting and development routes. Assessments identify learning teams’ strengths and development needs against a regularly updated L&D skills framework. Consulting turns the findings into clear priorities, while development pathways equip teams to work more closely with business leaders on skills gaps that affect performance.
Abodoo provides AI-powered skills intelligence through SkillSuite™, powered by its SIIO™ infrastructure. Working across existing learning and HR systems, the technology connects learning provision with role requirements to help organisations understand where development is needed.
Organisations can extend this view by incorporating HR data and employee-validated skills profiles, supporting workforce planning, targeted development and internal mobility. Abodoo’s dynamic skills framework provides a shared skills language across connected systems and evolves as role requirements change.
For an organisation investing in AI, this could mean identifying capability gaps by role and team, examining how existing learning provision addresses those needs, and assessing whether the learning team is equipped to support the resulting development priorities.
The LPI’s professional framework provides a consistent reference for assessing L&D capability. Abodoo adds an evolving view of skills needs across the wider workforce. Together, these perspectives help learning leaders make better-informed decisions about where to focus their efforts.
Organisations can begin where they need support: by assessing their learning team, exploring how to build on an existing assessment, or examining skills across the wider business and involving the LPI where learning team development is needed. The starting point and scope depend on each organisation’s priorities.
Relevant LPI certifications support individual upskilling, while accreditation helps strengthen organisational learning practice. LPI membership provides ongoing professional support, including applied AI practice through AI Labs.
For the L&D profession, the collaboration supports a closer connection between learning team capability and business needs. For organisations, it offers a clearer basis for prioritising development and directing learning investment towards the skills that matter to performance.
