In this episode of the SAATKORN podcast, I speak to Jörn Köster, Founder & CEO of eLearnio, an HR tech company that helps organisations digitise onboarding, professional development and corporate learning.
A lot has happened since our last conversation in 2023. AI is revolutionising the way companies organise, convey and make knowledge available. But technology alone is not enough.
One thing Jörn said really stuck with me:
“The integration of AI isn’t currently failing because of the technology, but because of employees’ ability to keep up with this pace.”
So how can companies use AI to genuinely improve learning? And how can the economic benefits of Learning & Development be measured in concrete terms?
Among other things, we discussed these three topics:
🤖 AI is fundamentally transforming corporate learning
With AI, existing corporate knowledge can now be transformed into personalised learning content in no time at all. However, the easier it becomes to create content, the more important structure, quality assurance and a clear learning strategy become.
🚀 Upskilling rather than recruiting – and why learning must deliver a return on investment
Skills shortages are colliding with tight HR budgets. Jörn explains why the development of existing staff is becoming increasingly important and how you can make the ROI of learning measurable through faster onboarding, higher productivity and less administrative effort.
🔮 HR Tech: Best-of-breed or all-in-one?
The major HR suites are undergoing massive technological upgrades. Do specialised learning providers even have a future in this landscape? Jörn is convinced that, particularly in SMEs, it’s crucial to use the right software at the right time.
