Donald Taylor's 2025 Learning & Development Global Sentiment Survey reveals AI's explosive impact on workplace learning, but the real story is how professionals are moving from buzz to action—using it for everything from quick content fixes to reshaping skills strategies. Yet, the timeless challenge remains: proving L&D's value. Are we chasing trends or driving results?

Donald Taylor, longtime learning and development leader and chair of the Learning Technologies Conference, unpacks the findings from the 2025 L&D Global Sentiment Survey. Hear what surprised him most, why AI remains a dominant focus, and how L&D professionals are responding to increasing pressure to prove value and do more with less. SHOW NOTES:Donald Taylor shares a timely look at where the industry is heading—and why it matters. His key takeaways include: AI Dominates—AgainFor the second year in a row, AI received unprecedented support in the L&D Global Sentiment Survey, signaling not just hype but real momentum in how professionals are exploring its potential—especially for internal efficiencies.Value Matters More Than Ever"Showing value" made a strong comeback in this year's survey results, reflecting a growing urgency among L&D teams to demonstrate their impact in measurable terms, especially in resource-constrained environments.Data-Driven Strategy Is RisingThe most popular trends—including upskilling, reskilling, and learning analytics—require robust data strategies. L&D is shifting from delivery methods to understanding workforce capabilities at a deeper level.The "Do More With Less" RealityResource limitations were the fastest-growing challenge cited by respondents. As budgets tighten, L&D professionals are being asked to deliver greater impact with fewer people, tools, and time.Building Relationships Is Still FoundationalAmid all the tech shifts, Taylor emphasizes that personal connection remains essential. Strategic L&D leaders build credibility by getting out of their offices, listening to business needs, and aligning learning to organizational goals.Read more about the 2025 Global L&D Sentiment Survey Powered by Learning earned Awards of Distinction in the Podcast/Audio and Business Podcast categories from The Communicator Awards and a Gold and Silver Davey Award.

What do you need to know about the L&D space in 2025? The L&D Global Sentiment Survey is now in its 12th year and records the trends, attitudes, top challenges, and priorities in the L&D space. This year, over 3,000 voters from almost 100 countries participated in the research, sharing their experiences and thoughts on L&D today.We invited the author of the report Donald Taylor onto the show to get his thoughts on the biggest trends and insights revealed by the study. We talk about the ongoing focus on AI, and Donald shares his advice for those afraid of AI's impact on their jobs. A theme throughout our conversation is that some in L&D could benefit from a mindset shift – away from singular tasks and individual tools and toward a greater focus on overall goals.

Unsurprisingly, artificial intelligence once again topped the results of Donald Taylor's Global Sentiment Survey. Almost every other option on the survey lost vote-share this year, with the exception of the ‘value trio'. So, what do these findings tell us about the state of L&D, and how the profession is evolving?  In this week's episode of The Mindtools L&D Podcast, Don joined Ross D and Ross G for our annual breakdown of the survey's results. We discuss:  what the Global Sentiment Survey is (and what it isn't);  AI's unprecedented dominance of the survey, and the conclusions we can draw from this;  the return of the ‘value trio';  the extent to which L&D's perceived challenges align with perceived ‘hot' topics.  To read the full Global Sentiment Survey 2025 report, head to Don's website.  In ‘What I Learned This Week', Ross G recommended the 'Tab limit' extension for Google Chrome.  Ross D referenced Jared Cooney Horvath's video ‘CheatGPT | A textbook case of bad research'.  And Don mentioned the paper ‘A systematic literature review of artificial intelligence (AI) in coaching: insights for future research and product development', from The Journal of Work-Applied Management.  For more from us, visit mindtools.com.

Measuring management capability is intrinsically complex. Unlike sales training, where you have sales, or customer-service training, where you have CSAT scores, management doesn't have a built-in metric we can use to quantify learning impact. So, what's the solution?  This week on The Mind Tools L&D Podcast, Ross Dickie is joined by Owen and Anna to discuss our new ‘Manager Skills Assessment' — a scientific diagnostic that managers and their organizations can use to evaluate their capability. We discuss:  what the Manager Skills Assessment (MSA) is, and how it works;  how we designed the MSA based on scientific research;  what managers and L&D teams can expect to get out of the MSA.  To learn more about the Manager Skills Assessment, visit our website.  In ‘What I Learned This Week', Owen mentioned SpaceX's ‘Mechazilla'.  Ross D also referenced Donald Taylor and Egle Vinauskaite's latest report, AI in L&D: Intention and Reality.  For more from us, including access to our back catalogue of podcasts, visit mindtools.com/business.

Throughout the first few months of this year, we've been exploring artificial intelligence for L&D. In episode 377, Donald Taylor gave us the context on the extent to which L&D pros are using AI In episode 379, Ross Steven offered advice for getting started. This week on The Mind Tools L&D Podcast, Ross and Owen were joined by Kacper Lodzikowski, Vice President of AI Capabilities at Pearson, to discuss the opportunities that AI presents for education.  We discuss: ·       Why AI presents such a challenge for educators ·       Balancing those challenges with opportunities ·       What those opportunities are and where to embrace them. During the discussion, Kacper referenced his paper: Łodzikowski, K., Foltz, P. W., & Behrens, J. T. (2023). Generative AI and Its Educational Implications. arXiv preprint arXiv:2401.08659.

Donald Taylor describes this year's Global Sentiment Survey as the ‘unsurprising survey'. Predictably, artificial intelligence topped the table by some margin. But the results of this year's survey still tell us a lot about how L&D perceives itself and the challenges we face as a profession. In this week's episode of The Mind Tools L&D Podcast, Donald joins Ross and Owen to parse the results of the Global Sentiment Survey 2024. We discuss: ·       How L&D views the benefits and challenges associated with AI ·       The non-AI topics which gained popularity this year ·       Declining interest in collaborative/social working and coaching/mentoring  ·       The potential risks of L&D's current obsession with AI To read the Global Sentiment Survey report for yourself, head to Don's website. During our discussion, Owen mentioned responses to the GSS from our own Gent Ahmetaj and Ross Garner. In ‘What I Learned this Week', Owen referenced Ben Thompson's newsletter, Stratechery. Ross mentioned how he'd followed Wirecutter's recommendations (which he learned about through Owen) to buy a new pair of earphones.

Since the launch of ChatGPT in late 2022, AI has seldom been out of the news. Such is the pace of change, it can feel difficult to keep up. But how is L&D actually using this technology? What do learning professionals perceive as the benefits of AI, and what are the barriers to implementation? In this week's episode of The Mind Tools L&D Podcast, Ross Dickie and Owen Ferguson are joined by Donald Taylor to discuss a report he co-authored with Egle Vinauskaite, which seeks to answer some of these questions. We discuss: ·       The current state of play of AI in L&D, ·       The expected benefits of using AI in L&D, ·       The technological and business barriers to deploying AI in organizations.   To read the full report, AI in L&D: The State of Play, head to Don's website.

It's Masters Week! Our first podcast guest is a longtime friend, Donald Taylor, who has 35 years of experience attending The Masters and has played the course multiple times. Donald has great stories about The Masters and Augusta National including, arguably, the greatest back 9 that no one knows about...until now!

   In this episode, you will hear about how Col. Don Taylor began his Air Force career as an architect and then progressed into a career in hospital administration. On 9/11, he worked for General Carlton in an office overlooking the Pentagon, and he describes watching the attack on the Pentagon. As a military healthcare administrator, he explains how he interacted as an advocate for the delivery of healthcare and balanced the need for resource utilization and delivering high-quality healthcare. Hear about the insights into hospital administration and the Tricare contract standards and development of standardization in healthcare and development of a healthcare plan and his briefings from the Pentagon to Congress in the Tricare for Life Program. He explains the role of the Medical Service Officer in supporting the various missions of Military Medicine and his leadership positions from Air Force hospital to combat theater trauma hospital.  He shares his insights and lessons learned as a Hospital Commander in the United States and Commander of a large, deployed Air Force Theatre Combat Hospital and medical evacuation hub located in Iraq.  He also describes how he prioritized patient needs and helped promote primary care patient teams and the development of the Primary Care Medical Home.  He details how he as a nonphysician, led physicians and helped synergize their efforts for optimal healthcare delivery. You will hear him describe how he navigated difficult circumstances with physicians and the situations that arose in the war zone, such as how to deliver care best when there are blood shortages. He also discusses how he handled these difficult situations and helped build rapport with those healthcare teammates. He also describes the training he encountered that most closely reflected combat casualty care.  As an advocate for physical, mental, and spiritual renewal, he describes the importance of personal care.  Interestingly, he explains how he had a high-profile casualty and managed the flow of communication to ensure respect for the casualty's privacy and family.  He describes how he positively engaged with the media to respect patient confidentiality and ensure family members received information before the media broadcast.  We also discussed how he thinks the military should focus on clinical training to optimize platforms for providing ready providers for casualty care. Hear about the challenges in military healthcare and recapturing patients due to the fierce competition in the healthcare industry.  He discusses the integration of the healthcare models and his thoughts on the balance between active duty and reserves healthcare providers and the limitations of pulling from the private sector for military care.  He is an expert in these areas as he received his Bachelor of Science in Architecture from the University of Texas at Arlington, TX. He earned his Master of Healthcare Administration from the Pennsylvania State University in State College, PA.  Don had a distinguished career in the Air Force and served as a primary advisor and consultant to the Air Force Surgeon General immediately before and following the attacks on 9/11.  He served as Commander of the Air Force Hospital at Luke AFB and was a pioneer in developing the concept of the primary care medical home.  He also was the first non-physician to Command a deployed Air Force Theater (Trauma) Hospital (Balad AB, Iraq). His final military assignment was at Wilford Hall Medical Center at Lackland AFB, TX, where he served as the Vice Wing Commander.   Following his distinguished military career, Col (Ret) Taylor has worked in the VA system and held several roles providing executive coaching, teaching, speaking, and consulting services to healthcare organizations.  He also led academic positions as an Adjunct Professor and Lecturer at the University of Texas in Dallas.  For those interested in healthcare leadership, he discusses his teaching and leadership programs and those available to senior physicians in and out of the military healthcare system.   Find out more and join Team WarDocs at www.wardocspodcast.com   Honoring the Legacy and Preserving the History of Military Medicine   The WarDocs Mission is to honor the legacy, preserve the oral history, and showcase career opportunities, unique expeditionary experiences, and achievements of Military Medicine.

In this episode, we go through the first 100 days as a newly appointed L&D Manager. We look at the process of getting to know the company, the business model, and the industry it operates in. We also talk about laying the foundation of a sustainable learning strategy and achieving quick wins in the early days on the job.Guest: Karolina Roziewicz, a Learning Strategist helping individuals and organizations create and maintain a strong learning mindset. She focuses on aligning behavioral nudges, instructional design, and learning rules when people and companies embark on learning journeys, and she has recently joined LiveChat as Learning & Development Manager. Highlights:- Perform discovery interviews to learn as much as possible about the new company you are joining or to look at your current company without past biases influencing you.- L&D is a support function, so the L&D person must improve their business acumen; this is a key factor in your future effectiveness in supporting this company. - It's easier to start fresh, in a new organization, as opposed to growing internally into an L&D Management role because you don't have the same blindspots about the business. Another benefit is that outsiders tend to be perceived as having higher expertise in their domain, which makes it easier later to position L&D as a strategic partner to the business. - Don't dive into the needs analysis first; it's far more important to understand the organization and what kind of strategic learning direction it can take.- Map out your outcomes from the discovery interviews; you will start noticing patterns that will later inform your L&D strategy.- Focus on your stakeholders' current workflows, tasks, challenges, and behaviors instead of telling them what L&D can help with. This way, you'll avoid biasing your conversation partners towards offering you L&D-focused answers (avoid the "I need training on time management" type of requests). - Start defining your future L&D strategy and validate with the business if you are going in the right direction.- Identify quick wins and take action in the first 100 days to show that you are not just asking questions but also providing results.- Avoid creating expectations and over-promising early on. Don't take it personally if some of your ideas won't come to life or certain business stakeholders don't want L&D's help at this early stage; there will be opportunities to collaborate later.A phrasing suggestion to avoid creating expectations during your discovery interviews:*Disclaimer - this is not yet a need analysis - let's get to know each other and see where we can cooperate.My job is to create the underlying fundaments for learning and knowledge exchange to happen organically and support and drive any formalized learning initiatives with evidence-based solutions.Questions to ask your organization during the first "reconnaissance mission":1-sentence description - what's your job:1-sentence description - what does your product/service do:Daily tasks:Difficulties:Intersection with other depts.:Which skills are crucial for your job/your team's job?One thing to change about the way the company operates that would improve the area?What does organizational learning mean for you?How do you learn?What do you think my role can help you with? (props to Donald Taylor for flipping this question around in a way that prevents creating expectations)To join the conversation or get in touch, reach out to Liz Stefan on LinkedIn or email liz[at]niftylearning.io

The Learning and Development (L&D) Global Sentiment Survey takes the pulse of where workplace learning is headed this year. With thousands of L&D professionals from around the world answering the key question of “What will be hot in workplace L&D in 2022?” this survey for nine years provided a unique overview of what is happening in workplace learning. In this episode, I'm thrilled to have back on the podcast the person who founded and runs the Learning & Development Global Sentiment Survey. Donald Taylor is Chair of the Learning Technologies Conference in London, the leading workplace learning event in Europe and one he has led for the past twenty years. He was also Chairman of the Learning and Performance Institute from 2010-2021. Donald is the author of the book Learning Technologies in the Workplace (Kogan Page, 2017) and many articles. In 2007, he received the Colin Corder award for services to training, and in 2016, an honorary doctorate from London's Middlesex University, for services to the Learning and Development profession. Since 2014, Donald has run the Learning & Development Global Sentiment Survey, which provides valuable insights to leaders of organizations and L&D professionals. It's a pleasure to have Don back on the podcast to discuss the results of the L&D Global Sentiment survey for 2022.

Donald Taylor is a well-known commentator and organiser in the field of workplace learning and learning technologies. In an engaging discussion with ABP Vice Chair Lucy Standing, he shares his perspectives on the future of L&D, highlighting both the dangers of the training course “treadmill” and the huge opportunities for L&D professionals who partner with their organisations and embrace performance consulting. He also provides fascinating insights into the technologies which are reshaping L&D, and shares his observations about how the Covid crisis has accelerated the move to “digital by default” whilst creating a need for pause and reflection. Donald was the 2007 recipient of the Colin Corder award for services to training and has chaired the Learning Technologies Conference since 2000. He also chairs the Learning and Skills Group, hosting its bi-weekly webinar programme, and edits Inside Learning Technologies Magazine. He is a graduate of Oxford University and in 2016 was awarded an honorary doctorate by Middlesex University in recognition of his work developing the L&D profession.

Reskilling and upskilling have become the leading trend in the field of Learning and Development (L&D) for 2021. With the start of the pandemic in 2020, L&D has had an unprecedented year in a variety of ways. Focus in the field has sharply moved away from the leading trends of the of the past few years, such as artificial intelligence, virtual reality, and learning analytics. To discuss the latest trends in workplace learning I am joined by a leader in learning technologies in the workplace. Donald Taylor is Chair of the Learning Technologies Conference in London, the leading workplace learning event in Europe and one he has led for the past twenty years. He was also Chairman of the Learning and Performance Institute from 2010-2021. Donald is the author of the book Learning Technologies in the Workplace (Kogan Page, 2017) and many articles.

Delivering online presentations, meetings, and training has quickly become the norm in 2020, but many people struggle to engage their audience in an online format. Filming a play does not make it a movie, and similarly using the same strategies for an in-person presentation is not the same as presenting it online. The approach and design must be tailored to the medium in which it is presented.On this episode I am thrilled discuss best practices of hosting webinars with an international expert in workplace learning technologies and designing engaging interactive webinars.Donald Taylor is the Chairman of the Learning and Performance Institute and for the past twenty years has chaired the Learning Technologies Conference in London. Donald has helped plan and deliver Learning Technology events around the world, including Berlin, Paris, Singapore and Orlando. He works with speakers of every level of experience – including novices and some of the world's most experienced online speakers – and has helped them build and pace their presentations, ensuring that they have everything they need to create interactive, compelling presentations that they keep audiences engaged. Since 2014, Donald has run the Learning & Development Global Sentiment Survey, which provides valuable insights to leaders of organizations and L&D professionals. He is also the author of the book Learning Technologies in the Workplace (Kogan Page, 2017) and many articles.

Season 4, Episode 1 — 8 August 2019 About this episode We talk with Professors Jennifer Kurth and Andrea Ruppar, two of the six authors of the article, “Considerations in Placement Decisions for Students With Extensive Support Needs: An Analysis of LRE Statements” in the May 2019 issue of Research and Practice for Persons with Severe Disabilities (vol. 44, no. 1). They have collected a library of Individualized Education Plans (IEPs) and examined them to see how schools and educators decide to remove students from the general classroom, when supplementary services are offered to keep them in the classroom, and when they are withheld. About the presenters Jennifer Kurth is an Associate Professor of Special Education at the University of Kansas. Her academic interests include methods implementing inclusive education, including methods of embedding critical instruction within the context and routines of general education as well as methods of providing appropriate supports and services for individual learners. Dr. Kurth's research also examines how teachers, students, and family's interactions support and constrain learning and socialization in general education classrooms. She also studies how teacher candidates develop their dispositions and skills in inclusive practices. Dr. Kurth's research interests in inclusive education also include examining outcomes of inclusion in terms of skill development and quality of life indicators for students with disabilities. Andrea Ruppar is a Professor in the Department of Rehabilitation Psychology and Special Education at the University of Wisconsin — Madison. Dr. Ruppar's scholarship focuses on building the capacity of schools and teachers to provide meaningful, evidence-based, inclusive education for students with the most significant disabilities – including multiple disabilities, intellectual disability, and autism. She earned her Ph. D. from the University of Illinois in 2011 and completed a post-doctoral traineeship at the University of Florida. In her recent work, she has examined: 1) adolescents' access to literacy and communication; 2) the role of teachers in promoting access and involvement in the general curriculum within inclusive contexts; and 3) the development and evaluation of expertise among teachers of students with the most significant disabilities. A former K-12 special educator, Dr. Ruppar is particularly interested in the influence of the social context of teachers' workplaces on decision-making. She is the past recipient of the Council for Exceptional Children Student Research Award in the area of qualitative methodology, the American Educational Research Association Special Education SIG Student Research Award, and the Council for Exceptional Children Teacher Education Division Early Career Publication Award. Donald Taylor is responsible for membership and chapters at TASH and is the producer of Amplified. Transcript Complete transcript forthcoming This interview was originally recorded on 9 May 2019.

Season 2, Episode 1 — 22 June 2017 About this episode Today's episode is particularly urgent. The Senate released its bill to repeal the Affordable Care Act and cut Medicaid this morning. Listen to it right away then get busy. TASH talks with Gonzalo Martínez de Vedia, a Policy Manager with The Indivisible Project, about what this bill means and how you can talk to your Senator — Republican or Democrat — to effectively convey the importance for people with disabilities of it not passing. About the presenters Gonzalo Martínez de Vedia is a contributor to The Indivisible Guide and Policy Manager with The Indivisible Project in Washington, D.C., where he helps demystify Congress for 6,000 Indivisible groups across every congressional district in the country. Previously, he advocated for the rights of workers, immigrants and survivors of human trafficking through several NGOs including the Worker Justice Center of New York, the Freedom Network, and Humanity United. Gonzalo was born and raised in Buenos Aires, Argentina. He holds a BA cum laude from Cornell University. Donald Taylor is responsible for membership and chapters at TASH and is the producer of Amplified. Transcript Announcer: You're listening to TASH Amplified, a podcast that seeks to transform research and experience concerning inclusion and equity for people with disabilities into solutions people can use in their everyday lives. Today we are talking with Gonzalo Martínez de Vedia, who is a Policy Manager with The Indivisible Project. Indivisible started as a 23-page guide on how to influence your congresspeople, written by former congressional staffers with first-hand experience of what works and what doesn't work. The guide had been downloaded over 2 million times and Indivisible now comprises nearly 6,000 local groups. Their primary focus in recent weeks has been on preventing Congress from repealing the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, and cutting $800 billion from Medicaid — which they could do as early as next week. We talk with Gonzalo about what TASH members can do to protect these essential rights of people with disabilities. Musical introduction Complete transcript forthcoming Donald Taylor: The American Health Care Act is really close to having the votes to pass in the Senate. So I think the idea is to look at specific [influenceable] Senators. Which Senators, and in which states, are the most important Congresspeople for citizens to try to influence? Gonzalo Martínez de Vedia: Yeah, so there's two answers to that. You know, the first answer, of course, is we encourage people to call whoever their individual two senators happen to be in whatever state they are. And there is work to do in all in all states. But as a national campaign, of course, we have to hone in on certain targets, especially now that we're getting into the final stretch. You know, the House has already voted. We are now in the Senate and in we are in the final stretch of the Senate negotiations.

In this episode, I speak with Donald Taylor about the old and new ways of the Learning and Development team and the key to a successful learning technology implementation.

Chairman of the LPI and the Learning Technologies Conference Donald Taylor talks to Lisa about his newly-released book 'Learning Technologies in the Workplace' - https://www.koganpage.com/product/learning-technologies-in-the-workplace-9780749476403#

33 year old Donald Taylor went missing after a party in McKinney, Texas, on January 3rd 2016, leaving few clues behind. Did he walk away from his life, or is something more sinister involved?

This week on the GoodPractice podcast: Owen, James and Ross discuss 'micro learning'. According to Donald Taylor's 2016 L&D Global Sentiment Survey, micro learning was set to be a hot topic over the past year. But has it had an impact on our industry or is it just another in a long line of fads?

Season 1, Episode 15 — 26 November 2016 About this episode Mona Fuerstenau of Bethesda Lutheran Communities and Anthony Armitage of One-Classroom discuss a breadth of ways for faith communities to become agents for greater inclusion for people with disabilities, including advocating for inclusion in parochial schools, how faith communities can be networks of natural supports, and how places of worship can leverage their networks to help people with disabilities in areas such as employment. This is a preview of the “Faith and Inclusion: Embracing Inclusion for People with Disabilities in School and Community” Wednesday Workshop at the 2016 TASH Annual Conference. About the presenters Mona Fuerstenau worked as Speech Language Pathologist for 13 years in multiple settings; early intervention, schools and with veterans. Her passion as a disability advocate stems from the inequities witnessed in all of these arenas. She is passionate about communities of belonging and is working primarily in faith communities at this point. Her current role with Bethesda Lutheran Communities is Director of Ministry Partnerships. She is a parent of two young adults who are very diverse learners. A fan of Asset Based Community Development, she regularly encourages thinking “outside the DD bubble”. Her vision includes communities who become places of sanctuary, belonging, meaningful participation and mutual support with families experiencing disability. Anthony Armitage and his wife LeeAnn Armitage are the founders of One Classroom, parents of two children and members of Mary Queen of Peace Parish in Webster Groves, Missouri. Their youngest child Christopher was born with Down Syndrome. After extensive research to determine the optimal educational pathway for their son LeeAnn and Anthony were inspired by inclusive education and the many Catholic schools around the country implementing inclusive programs. The opportunity of inclusive education, a strong belief in Catholic education, and the desire to educate their children together in one school created a passion to help all families of children with special needs and to serve Christ's church by helping the St. Louis archdiocese schools offer a new option for educating children with special needs. One Classroom is a non-profit organization dedicated to creating inclusive educational opportunities for children with special needs. We believe every child deserves a Catholic education in their local parish school in full community with their peers. One Classroom creates awareness, promotes and supports inclusive education by providing funding, training, expert resources, sharing of best practices and connecting parents. Donald Taylor is the Membership Manager at TASH and the producer of Amplified.
