Scaling to One in the Age of Super-Intelligence

Technology has always reshaped how we work, but the pace of change today is unprecedented. In just a few decades, we’ve moved from the rise of the internet to cloud computing, and now to the rapid integration of AI into the workplace. But the most significant shift is still ahead—the move away from an outdated, manufacturing-era model focused on efficiency and standardization toward a new era of scalable learning, where adaptability, innovation, and personalization define success.

In this session, Docebo’s Chief Learning Officer, Brandon Carson, will break down the major technological transformations that have shaped the modern workplace and explore why the future of work will be human-centered. Attendees will learn how AI transforms workflows, why companies must embrace learning as a competitive advantage, and how businesses can move from mass production to Scaling to One—creating personalized, dynamic, and people-first work environments. Join us to explore what it takes to thrive in the next evolution of work.

● Brandon Carson, Chief Learning Officer, Docebo.

Learning in 2049: Evolving Minds in a Post-Human Era

The future is unfolding faster than we realize. While it may still be 2025, the world has already accelerated towards 2049. The digital transformation sparked by the pandemic has led to the AI revolution, reshaping every aspect of our lives in real-time. As automation transforms millions of jobs, the need for new skills, faster learning, and innovative technologies has never been more urgent. In this thought-provoking talk, futurist Nicklas Hermansson explores the massive opportunities and challenges the AI revolution presents. AI and gamification will reshape not just how we learn, but how we work, engage, and grow. This era will demand new leaders – ”Alpha Cyborgs” – who seamlessly combine technology and human skills. Nicklas shares the human superpowers necessary to thrive in this new world and discusses the strategies he has used to build teams that became the best in the world. With his extensive experience as a futurist and founder of NomoFomo, Nicklas gives a thrilling glimpse into the future of learning and human evolution.

Workshop: “5 Moments of Need as the methodology to support workplace learning or to make the “70” in 70-20-10 work”
  • 2.10 PM - 2:40 PM

Workshop: “5 Moments of Need as the methodology to support workplace learning or to make the “70” in 70-20-10 work”

The innovative "5 Moments of Need" instructional design framework is dedicated to enhancing workplace learning by offering targeted support to employees precisely when they need it most: at the moment of application. It is designed to assist employees in the workflow, at their desks, at the bed of a patient in a hospital or on the factory floor, providing them with the immediate support required to accomplish a specific task. The "5 Moments of Need" framework represents a practical strategy for improving employee performance by combining learning and performance experiences while working in the workflow. It leverages the principles of the 70-20-10 learning model to personalize training, ensuring that learning is relevant and directly applicable to the tasks employees face. This approach not only facilitates immediate job support but also fosters long-term development and knowledge retention, ultimately leading to a more skilled and efficient workforce.

Alfred Remmits is an internationally recognized expert in Learning & Development, known for his work with the 70-20-10 model, Performance Support, Adaptive Learning, and Big Data. He splits his time between supporting L&D organizations in the US and Europe, and has served on advisory boards including Microsoft’s Global Learning Advisory Board. Alfred holds a master’s degree in social science from the University of Amsterdam and lives in the Netherlands.

● Alfred Remmits, CEO of Xprtise and managing partner of the 5 Moments of Need Academy Europe.

Innovationsworkshop - Lärandets drivkrafter och design för framtidens kompetensutveckling

Hur kan vi skapa mer effektfulla sätt att lära hela livet och se till att alla utvecklas i våra organisationer? Denna innovationsworkshop ger dig insyn i hur lärandedesign kan påverka vår motivation att kontinuerligt lära nytt i en värld som alltmer kräver detta av oss. Tillsammans utforskar vi metoder för att stärka lärandeprocesser, samt hur vi skulle kunna utmana våra invanda mönster att utforma lärinsatser, utbildningar och kurser. Du får med dig nya tankar, erfarenheter och insikter om hur vi utifrån forskning kan omsätta detta i praktiken för att skapa en mer dynamisk och hållbar kompetensutveckling som gör skillnad i din organisation. Genom interaktiva övningar och diskussioner jobbar vi utifrån faktorer som stimulerar nyfikenhet, psykologisk trygghet och motivation. Workshopen erbjuder även konkreta verktyg och insikter för att öka graden av lärande.

It’s Time to Unleash our Strategic Value

Most executive leaders view L&D as an overhead expense. And, they are always looking for ways to reduce these costs. This view especially impacts our profession whenever the economy faces a downturn or purveyors of new technology suggest it can replace us. As yet, we haven’t successfully answered this vital question: What can Learning and Development professionals do, that no-one else in the organization can do, to deliver measurable business impact? This session will answer this question. It will expand your vision of our role and vital importance to the success and economic survival of any organization.

Neuroscience and learning, potentially focusing on Learning Agility
  • 9:50 AM - 10:40 AM
  • Main Stage

Neuroscience and learning, potentially focusing on Learning Agility

Always changing... Are we made for that? Are we not creatures of habit? Or does it really just come down to cultivating an open mindset? During this keynote, we take a look into our learning brain. Through both everyday examples (trying out a new software tool) and spectacular cases (a violinist learning to play again after losing half her brain), we explore the power of neuroplasticity. Our brain is built to learn, solve problems, and take on challenges. However, there are some important conditions attached to this. Using the Boost your Brain framework©, we examine what you need to enhance your learning agility.

Future-proofing the workforce in a skills-based economy in the age of AI

AI isn’t here to replace human learning; it’s here to enhance it. The focus is on how AI-driven tools can make training more immersive, adaptive, and impactful. It's time to move beyond passive learning and emphasize real-world applications that drive measurable results. Addressing existing skills gaps is crucial, and AI can support the development of new competencies, including soft skills.
