Why Learning Leaders Are Overwhelmed and How AI Can Help

👋 Welcome to Tami’s newsletter. Every other week, we share thoughts on current challenges in corporate training and how AI can help us solve them together.

Today’s learning and development leaders are under more pressure than ever before.

You’re asked to get more results with tighter budgets and leaner teams, move faster with rapid business and technology changes, measure and justify ROI, and more.

Not to mention, most training feels like it’s stuck in 2003. Long lectures, off-the-shelf content, big vendor price tags, and underutilized e-learning libraries.

And after all that? Your teams still don’t have the skills they actually need.

This is what it looks like in real life:

• Vendor management becomes a full-time job.

• You’re buried in admin work instead of building strategy.

• Your inbox is overflowing with requests for training “yesterday.”

• A critical product update rolls out, but it takes 3 months to get teams trained.

• Managers are frustrated that training is too generic and doesn’t reflect real-life workflows.

All while you’re trying to show that L&D drives measurable impact, not just attendance or course completions.

It’s no surprise that L&D teams are burning out trying to do it all.

This is where AI can make a real difference in saving time, being more strategic, and improving results.

AI Saves Time So You Can Focus on Strategy

AI is a game-changer in a world where L&D professionals constantly juggle logistics, admin tasks, and deadlines.

Imagine automating the time-consuming aspects of training: scheduling, finding the right courses, matching instructors, and customizing or personalizing content.

AI allows you to do all of that in a fraction of the time it would traditionally take and gives you more bandwidth to focus on strategic priorities that drive real business impact.

With AI handling the routine tasks, you now have more time to think big.

Whether it’s refining learning strategies, improving engagement, or exploring new ways to align training with business goals, AI helps you elevate your role from managing logistics to leading strategic initiatives. 

Your job becomes less about firefighting and more about shaping the future of the business.

How L&D Teams Are Using AI Today

Below are common use cases for learning and development leaders to save time and be more strategic by leveraging AI:

Content Generation: Draft course outlines, lesson plans, and assessments. Create your own videos, images, and more.

Course Customization: Quickly adapt courses to fit your business's current challenges, ensuring the content remains relevant and impactful.

Learning Analytics: AI can track learner progress in real-time, helping you identify knowledge gaps and adjust the training program on the fly.
