In this week’s episode of The Mindtools L&D Podcast, Ross Dickie and Anna Barnett PhD CPsychol are joined by Erica Werneman Root, legal consultant and co-founder of Knowledge Bridge, to discuss what ‘AI literacy’ means in different contexts and how L&D can help employees develop AI skills.

Learning and development (L&D) is critical for business success - but how do we measure its true impact? In a recent People Management magazine article, Mindtools’ Head of Insights and Analytics, Gent Ahmetaj PhD, explores why businesses must move beyond basic metrics like completion rates and satisfaction scores to demonstrate real value. Without strong measurement, L&D risks being counted as a cost rather than a strategic driver of performance. Organizations that align learning with business goals and use real-time data to track impact are gaining a competitive edge. At Mindtools, we help L&D teams connect learning to measurable outcomes. Discover why effective measurement is essential for proving the ROI of learning initiatives. Read the full article: https://ow.ly/fAX750V3qfV
