Learning budgets are flat, but expectations keep rising. This report is designed for L&D and HR leaders who want to know what to change in 2027, not just what to watch.
Built from Blify’s webinar with Majid Kiani (VP Learning, Club Med), Nicolas Bourgeois (formerly Partner, PwC), Mathilde Le Coz (Lab RH chairman & Partner BDO), and Evgeny Lukin (Rennes School of Business), it covers 5 trends:
learning that blends into work;
the learning company finally within reach;
skills that must be proven, not claimed;
L&D as learner zero;
the rise of agentic learning.
Each trend is tested against the latest research from McKinsey, Deloitte, Gartner, and more.
