Building and sustaining an organization that is nimble, adaptable, resilient and future proof is becoming more complex and more urgent than ever. Only those with flexible and innovative LearnScapes, now enhanced by emerging AI capabilities, will succeed.

Learning Ecosystems explains how organizations evolve into LearnScapes where learning techniques are continuously aligned with the changing environment they operate in. This new edition explores how to upskill and reskill a workforce in a world increasingly shaped by LLMs, AI agents, cognitive learning ecosystems and collaborative, tech-enabled work. Full of practical guidance and strategic advice, it shows how to take a lifelong approach to learning and the enduring human capabilities required to thrive alongside intelligent systems. It also explains how to design value-driven and task-driven learning strategies supported by foundational models, data flows and system integration.

This edition expands its coverage of learning technologies, including the latest advances in AI, immersive learning (VR and AR) and ethical governance. It also deepens the discussion of lean learning, data analytics and the balance between human insight and algorithmic support. With guidance on taking a human-centric approach to innovation, it demonstrates the importance of continuous improvement and offers techniques for problem analysis, experimentation and algorithmic business thinking. Crucially, it provides frameworks for building an adaptive learning culture and a cognitive learning ecosystem across the organization.

Supported by updated and newly developed real-world examples from global companies, this is essential reading for learning and HR leaders seeking to rethink their strategies and build future-ready organizations in an AI-accelerated world.
