🔍 In this AI-powered era, how do you prove your unrivaled expertise? As a membership organization, one of the most valuable assets a professional association can provide is a certification program. For professionals, earning a certification demonstrates: ✔️ Commitment to continuous learning and professional development ✔️ Showcases specialized knowledge and skills to potential employers and clients ✔️ Certifications not only benefit individuals but also elevate the professions they represent Here's a snippet from our conversation with the leadership and communication guru Allison Shapira, on why certification could add value, especially in a world where anyone could use AI to describe themselves as an expert in the field.

1 billion people will need to be reskilled worldwide by 2030! This weekend, our CEO, Philippe Richard Bertrand, participated in Human.e.s Education Summit 2024 in New York, a pivotal event during United Nations week. He came away with powerful insights on the future of work and training. According to AI leaders like Microsoft Education, Google DeepMind, and OpenAI, one billion people will need to be reskilled by 2030. The message is clear: traditional education methods won’t be enough to meet this global challenge. At illuxi, we’ve been preparing for this transition for two years, developing innovative solutions to help organizations navigate this shift. 2025 will be a game-changing year for us as we stand ready to contribute to the global reskilling effort. Stay tuned, big announcements are coming soon! #learning #innovation

“Learning is not something you tag on to your job - it is your job”. Well said by Simon Lambert, CLO at Microsoft in yesterday’s Learning Networks event hosted by LinkedIn London and the The LPI (Learning and Performance Institute). It was a thoughtful discussion where burning questions were explored collaboratively with leading experts like the three you can see in the photo: Anne-Marie Griffin, Dr Ashwin Mehta and Simon Lambert. Here are some of my key takeaways: 💫 From service providers to thought partners: Learning leaders now have a unique opportunity to become strategic thought partners to carve out the pathway for business transformation. 💫 The skills discourse is shifting: as AI is starting to replace tasks (not jobs), we can move away from a title-focused workplace to one focused on matching tasks with skills and tools. 💫 AI literacy is key: It is obvious that AI literacy will be required, but varying levels of proficiency will be needed in different roles - from basic prompting to disrupting industries. 💫 Learning provides purpose: 80% of employees in the LinkedIn Workforce Report indicated that learning connects them with the organization and gives them a sense of purpose. 💫 Engage your organization: Leveraging #AI for learning does not conclude with your IT team. The entire organization, from leadership to individual employee need to actively learn these skills, and the only way to learn them is to use the tools. A great example given was the Promt-a-thon coming from Microsoft, as well as an AI chatbot that coaches you on effective prompting by scoring the quality of your prompts. If you're interested to dive deeper into similar topics, you are personally invited to Engageli's upcoming event in collaboration with the LPI and People Untapped to discuss the challenge of measuring the true impact of learning. This was well phrased by Simon Kear and Jenny McWalter from Nord Anglia Education yesterday - measuring what you value rather than valuing what you measure.
