Learning Ecosystems

Build a future-ready organisation by designing learning ecosystems that adapt, scale and evolve with AI.

Learning Ecosystems by Katja Schipperheijn is a strategic guide for senior L&D, HR and organisational leaders who need to redesign learning to drive resilience, innovation and sustained performance. As AI, automation and new technologies reshape the workplace, this updated edition includes a new chapter on LLMs, AI agents and cognitive learning ecosystems, major updates to capability-building frameworks, broader coverage of emerging technologies and refreshed real-world examples that reflect the latest advances in AI and organisational learning.

Combining systems thinking with human-centred design, this book explains how to scale upskilling and reskilling using AI and immersive tools, while strengthening the human skills that technology cannot replace.
