AIS209: Opening Orientation: From Adoption to Advantage

As AI moves from experimentation into everyday organizational reality, learning leaders are being challenged to rethink how learning supports performance, capability, and work itself. In this opening session, Josh Cavalier will frame the broader transformation taking place across learning and workforce development, helping attendees move beyond conversations centered only on tools and productivity gains.
Drawing from his work in AI-enabled learning strategy and workforce transformation, Josh will explore how organizations are beginning to rethink enablement, workflow support, and organizational capability in response to AI. Participants will leave with a practical lens for the day ahead, one that connects emerging technologies to changing expectations around leadership, learning, and operational performance.
