The most influential L&D leaders in 2026 don't talk about learning. They talk about business. That's the uncomfortable truth surfacing in the TJ L&D Influence Report 2026. Senior L&D professionals absorbed by platform choices, content libraries, and delivery formats are solving a problem no one at the executive table is asking about. The shift needed isn't technological. It's conversational. Cathy Hoy puts it bluntly: stop talking about learning. Your team handles that. Your job is to understand the business, shape capability conversations, and connect learning to real organisational outcomes. If you're not in those rooms — there's no seat at the table, just a training catalogue. There's also an underrated framing issue: learning, training, and development are not the same thing. Development lives in organisations. Learning lives in people. How we frame this with senior leaders shapes whether L&D is seen as strategic investment or administrative cost. And then there's boldness — not chasing every tech wave, but the intentional kind. Being business-first. Facing the direction the organisation is facing. This is why platforms like @Opigno Enterprise matter — not just as delivery infrastructure, but as intelligence systems that connect learning to HRIS, CRM, and ERP data, making the link between training and business impact measurable and visible. Because if L&D can't prove it moves the business, the conversation ends before it begins. What's stopping your L&D function from being truly business-first today?

Nobody plans for 5+ systems. Platform sprawl happens gradually, through rational decisions to work around systems that lack integration and flexibility. Trying to consolidate them then turns into a never-ending migration. The solution is integrability by design. API-first, headless platforms like Opigno Enterprise support multiple audiences, compliance requirements, and global operations without creating sprawl in the first place.

170 million new roles emerging by 2030. The biggest opportunity in workforce history — for organisations ready to seize it. The WEF's Reskilling Revolution initiative puts the stakes in sharp focus: by 2030, 92 million jobs will be displaced while 170 million new ones emerge. That net positive only materialises if organisations can close the gap, and fast. 39% of workers' core skills are expected to change within five years, as agentic AI moves from experimentation into everyday workflows. What's striking is that it's not just technical skills under pressure. Business leaders are doubling down on human-centric capabilities: judgment, curiosity, resilience. Yet investment in adult lifelong learning sits at a mere 0.5% of global GDP, despite the WEF estimating that closing this gap could add $6.5 trillion to global GDP by 2030. Scale of ambition is not the issue: 350+ organisations have already committed to reaching 856 million people. The real bottleneck is execution at the organisational level. That's where the right infrastructure matters. Opigno Enterprise, a Learning Intelligence Platform powered by agentic AI, goes beyond traditional LMS solutions by delivering hyper-personalised and contextualised, role-specific learning that adapts in real time, integrates seamlessly with your HRIS, CRM and collaboration tools, and connects training directly to measurable business outcomes. The reskilling challenge is structural. It requires learning systems as adaptive as the world they're preparing people for.

Most corporate training is disconnected from performance. And that’s why it’s dying. Ten years ago, Opigno was a simple LMS. Today, it’s a Learning Intelligence backbone for global enterprises. 🚀 What changed? → Skill cycles became shorter. → AI moved from theory to daily reality. → In a fast-evolving world, speed is now a key success factor in transformation—and it all starts with employee upskilling. At one point, one thing became clear to me as a founder: training that does not connect to performance will not survive. From there, Opigno evolved from “course delivery” to “Learning Intelligence”: ✅ Agentic AI that builds personalized and contextualized learning paths and coaching in real time ✅ Deep integration with enterprise systems to capture corporate context, and adapt to each employee ✅ AI agents continuously analyzing performance, with dashboards showing how learning impacts KPIs For L&D & HR leaders: your platform must evolve as fast as your business. At Connect-i, we stay focused on one goal: making learning a true driver of performance—secure and ready for an AI-first future. 🌟 Curious how a Learning Intelligence Platform could support your organization’s next chapter?

I am honoured to announce that Professor Pierre Dillenbourg has joined @Opigno’s Advisory Board. Professor Emeritus at École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (#EPFL), Pierre is internationally recognised as one of the leading experts in learning technologies and human-computer interaction, and a pioneer in the field of digital learning.  His insight and experience will help guide Opigno’s vision for the future of enterprise learning in the age of AI. We believe the next generation of learning platforms will be agentic and hyper-contextualised — powered by AI agents that continuously adapt to both individual learners and organisational contexts, enabling faster and more effective learning. In a world evolving at unprecedented speed, transformation cannot happen without training. Our mission at Opigno is therefore simple and ambitious: turn corporate training into a decisive competitive advantage for our customers. Welcome to the journey, Pierre!
