If you work in Learning and Development, you are already feeling the pressure.
Stakeholders expect faster turnaround.
AI can generate content in minutes.
Course creation is becoming increasingly automated.
The question is no longer whether you can produce learning faster.
The question is whether the work you do will still be valued.
The real risk is not falling behind AI.
The real risk is becoming more efficient at work your organization will no longer value.
Every generation of L&D professionals faces a career-defining shift.
E-learning was one.
Mobile learning was one.
Digital transformation was one.
AI is yours.
Five years from now, there will be two kinds of L&D professionals.
Those who use AI to produce more content faster.
And those who use AI to become strategic advisors who shape capability, influence decisions, and solve performance problems AI alone cannot.
The first group will become cheaper.
The second will become more valuable.
This book is about becoming the second.
Because the future of L&D will not belong to the people who know the most about AI.
It will belong to the people who know how to create value with it.
This is not another book about AI tools.
It is a practical operating system for modern Learning & Development.
Built around the EDGE Method (Extract, Design, Generate, Evaluate), it shows you how to use AI to transform the way you diagnose performance problems, design learning, communicate with stakeholders, and deliver measurable business impact.
Inside, you'll learn how
Diagnose whether a request is actually a training problemDesign performance-focused learning solutionsCreate high-quality learning assets faster with AIDevelop assessments that measure real capabilityBuild performance support instead of unnecessary coursesPersonalize learning without rebuilding everythingAnalyze feedback and improve learning continuouslyUse AI as a strategic thinking partner—not just a content generatorThis book is for instructional designers, learning consultants, enablement professionals, talent development specialists, L&D managers, HR professionals, and anyone responsible for developing capability in today's workplace.
If you want to become the L&D professional tomorrow's workplace demands—not simply a faster version of yesterday's—this book will show you how.
Don't use AI to do yesterday's work faster.
Use it to become the person tomorrow's work demands.

He writes the Solve the Right Problem series on decision tools for leaders.
