In this episode of Transformation 2.0®, we explore how modern learning design is unlocking transformation in organisations. Our hosts Taural Rhoden and Chamara Somaratne, discuss why traditional education models are falling short - and what change leaders can do to rethink learning as a strategic driver of innovation, adaptability, and growth.

From cognitive overload and box-ticking courses to AI-powered personalisation, this episode dives into the future of workforce learning and why curiosity, experimentation, and continuous adaptation are the new must-have capabilities.

Whether you’re a transformation leader, L&D professional, or business strategist, this conversation will challenge your assumptions and spark new ideas on how learning really works in fast-paced, high-change environments.

Key Takeaways:

✅ Traditional corporate learning fails when it's standardised, passive, and disconnected from real work

✅ Sports teams spend most of their time training, business teams should too

✅ Box-ticking compliance programs rarely produce behaviour change

✅ Curiosity, growth mindset, and psychological safety are critical for learning cultures

✅ AI and microlearning are game-changers for personalised, in-the-flow development

✅ One-size-fits-all methodologies don’t work, transformation requires adaptive learning

✅ Leaders must “walk the talk” by modeling curiosity and experimentation themselves
