It’s obvious that learning is important in an AI-driven world. AI is the newest and most innovative wave in technology, and knowing how to use it will make your workforce more innovative, adaptable, and efficient.
But it’s time to think bigger. Here’s why: The positive effects of learning will ricochet across your business no matter what world we live in.
Today it’s AI, but what about tomorrow? No matter what cutting-edge trends or complex challenges come your way, learning—and its ability to drive change—safeguards your company’s future.
Learning is adaptability.
Learning is growth.
Learning is impact.
And the technology finally exists to prove it.
Technology is advancing rapidly, and the spike we’ve all witnessed in recent years has fueled a critical need for scalable learning that’s effective and fast. These changes have exacerbated the need for a business like yours to measure learning and its corresponding business impacts.
Impact—whether you call it ROI, results, KPIs, or outcomes—is engrained into daily organizational conversations about initiatives, technologies, people, and business solutions. And it’s what we’ll be talking about at Degreed LENS, our annual flagship conference, this April in Orlando. Over two days, we’re going to gather business, learning, HR, and IT leaders and focus on learning to impact—impact people, businesses, and communities.
Uncover the secrets of real business impact.
Organizations across the globe are taking innovative approaches to skill-building, and they’re seeing results. And we don’t just mean learning completions. We mean measurable, business-critical outcomes.
CEMEX saw a 14% net sales increase by driving sales productivity through stronger sales enablement.
Colgate-Palmolive saw e-commerce sales triple when they upskilled their employees in digital, data, and analytics for the shift to e-commerce.
AstraZeneca decommissioned 91% of learning tech tools for more efficiency, cost savings, and a better employee experience.
There are many more stories just like these. Stories that demonstrate how to make learning a business-critical initiative. It’s why business, learning, HR, and IT leaders from companies around the globe are headed to LENS 2025—to exchange insights, share practical applications, and learn from each other.
So far, this year’s slate of LENS speakers include leaders from:
- Citi
- Gartner
- McKinsey & Company
- OpenAI
- Pearson
- SAP
- Travelers
- Volkswagen
Drawing inspiration from leaders who’ve succeeded is great, but collaborating with peers who are where you are can take participation at an event like LENS to another level.
LENS leans into the opportunity to connect, offering workshops, roundtable AMAs with award-winning company leaders, morning workouts, meal breaks, and our relaxing Evening Par-Tee at Topgolf. It’s all perfect for mingling, reflection, and brainstorming. Chat, ask questions, and learn. Most importantly, glean fresh perspectives you can apply for impact at your organization.
Address the [AI]lephant in the room.
AI isn’t the only source of the skills gap businesses are battling, but it has opened up a new front. In addition to finding out how business executives and learning leaders are developing skills to use and build AI, LENS attendees will hear from two AI pioneers:
- Cassie Kozyrkov, CEO of Kozyr and Google’s former first Chief Decision Scientist
- Siya Raj Purohit, Education GTM at OpenAI
Prepare for the possibilities of tomorrow.
LENS 2025 attendees will be the first to find out the latest innovations to Degreed Maestro, our new platform AI. They will see real-time demos, experience its coaching and assessment capabilities in action, and learn more about our product roadmap.
But as we’ve already established, what’s next isn’t all about AI—it’s even bigger. With this in mind, we’ll announce additional Degreed product features and updates.
Save your spot at LENS.
Brace for the real impact of what’s to come with insights and innovations that can change your perspective on the way learning (and work) works.
