At Learning Technologies 2022, 4-5 May in London, Dani Johnson, Cofounder & Principal Analyst, RedThread Research, will present on a whole new world of technology now available in coaching, talent marketplaces and skills.

There is a fundamental shift underway in the world of workplace learning, driven by three factors: the power of technology, our growing understanding of learning, and the need for a common language to describe skills, the key differentiator for any organisation today. In this session, Dani Johnson takes us through her latest research in the key areas of talent and technology, with practical examples of application, and view of the technology choices now available.

As the learning technology space gets more crowded, it’s also getting more fragmented. Both large platform vendors as well as smaller point solutions are finding interesting and innovative ways to solve particular problems. Three areas that have exploded in the past 18 months are coaching tech, talent marketplaces, and skills tech.

While more options means that it’s more likely to find just the right solution, it often creates more confusion and more work for L&D leaders trying to weed through it all.

Learning Technologies Conference Chair, Donald H Taylor: “At Learning Technologies 2022 Dani Johnson will talk through the changing tech landscapes around coaching, talent marketplaces and skills and help learning leaders to make more sense of all their options.”

Dani Johnson's session, Talent marketplaces, skills and coaching – oh my, it's a whole new world of technology!, takes place on day one of the conference, 4 May, and covers:

  • How the scope of coaching has changing
  • Talent marketplaces – the new frontier for L&D
  • Why successful skills strategies depend on great tactics
  • Examples of great implementations
  • Free resources for further reading
