Digital Learning Realities Research 2025: AI – The Drivers and Impact
Fosway Group, Europe’s #1 HR industry analyst, has announced the key takeaways for organisations from its annual Digital Learning Realities research, in association with Learning Technologies, the global leader in workplace learning tech events. This section concentrates on AI drivers and impact.
Now in its landmark 11th year, the research explores how L&D teams are tackling the challenges of a business environment and tech landscape that is in a constant state of flux.
It’s clear: a sea change has happened in learning. We have truly entered the age of skills-centred learning strategy, as organisations begin to assess just how fit they are for the future, and plan to build the capabilities that maintain organisational competitiveness at a time of huge upheaval and radical innovation. Our research gives critical insight into what L&D leaders need to navigate the realities of digital learning in 2025 and beyond.
Fosway Group’s signature infographics are part of a seven-part series for this research cycle, and the much anticipated results of this year’s survey can be found below.
AI – The Drivers and Impact
The impact of AI on L&D teams has reached a new and significant high.
AI in L&D has become mainstream. Whilst we might argue about AI’s true effectiveness or the strength of its grip on learning operations and the overall learning experience, it would be fair to say that the impact of AI on L&D is now pervasive. Only 6% say AI isn’t having an impact on their L&D team, and over half say it is having at least a moderate impact on corporate learning today.
As the world continues to accelerate change, the picture from this year’s Digital Learning Realities research shows just how challenging this year has been for L&D teams. Spend is static at best, headcount is under pressure, and resources are stretched. Innovations in content development, the pivotal nature of people insights in defining next gen learning, the skills transformation agenda, the need to scale and optimise learning teams and evidence learning value are all creating a perfect storm.
“But it’s a tempest which only one in three thinks they are skilled enough to navigate. It’s going to be a hairy ride. Equally, it’s not a time to question the role of learning teams. The plain truth is, their role is secure if they can bridge the skills gaps they’ve identified and we’ve captured in our report.
