World of Learning 2026 Takeaways

Hannah — Mon, 12 Oct 2026 14:00:59 +0000

What Hannah and Hannah took away from World of Learning

Hannah Quinton and Hannah Johnston headed to World of Learning at Birmingham’s NEC this week. Two Hannahs certainly made introductions easy, but it was the questions about the future of learning content that stayed with us.

How do we help people find what they need? What happens when an AI summary becomes their first stop? And how do we stop treating content as a destination and shift towards content as infrastructure?

Make content easier to find

You can create a brilliant learning resource, but it can only help if people can find it when they need it.

One of our main takeaways was the importance of designing for that moment of need. Someone looking for help with a task might not know the name of a course, the department that owns it or where it sits in the learning platform. They know the question they need answered.

Content needs to be surfaceable quickly. With clear titles, tagging, machine-readable and well organised content can surface at the point of need.

When the summary becomes the first stop

AI summaries added another layer to that conversation.

Pew Research Center’s analysis of US browsing activity in March 2025 found that, when a Google AI summary appeared, users clicked a traditional search result in just 8% of visits. That means 92% of people were happy the summary answered their question, and didn’t need to open the original content.

This is web search research, rather than a measure of workplace learning. But it raises an interesting question for L&D: are we designing learning experiences that reflect how people already look for answers in their day-to-day lives?

When someone needs help with a specific task, an immediate, relevant answer can be more useful than having to work through an entire course. Our content strategy needs to make room for that, while recognising when a fuller explanation, practice or human support will help someone move forward.

Blended learning has always recognised the value of different approaches. This takes that thinking further, with content becoming a connected source of knowledge that people can search, question and draw from in the moment.

It also changes what personalisation could look like. Recommendations based on someone’s job title are a starting point. The bigger opportunity is to respond to their situation, experience and goals.

For example, a learner might once have searched for “leadership skills” and been presented with a list of courses. Now, their question might be“I have an annual review in a few months. Based on my career framework and recent feedback, where are the gaps in my leadership skills, and what should I work on first?”

With the right information and permissions in place, a useful response could help them identify development priorities, find relevant resources and suggest practical opportunities to build those skills. It could also help them prepare for a conversation with their manager.

That puts new demands on the content behind the answer. Personalised answers also need appropriate access to information and clarity about what they are based on.

For us, this brings the conversation to content as infrastructure….

Thinking of content as infrastructure

The course, resource or video remains valuable, but its knowledge may also need to support a search result, a summary or a personalised development plan.

The opportunity for L&D is to design for both: helping people find a useful answer quickly, and giving them a clear route into deeper learning when they need it.

Viewed this way, a resource has a life beyond its launch. It needs an owner, regular maintenance and a clear place in the wider knowledge environment. It should be possible to find, update and reuse the information without creating several competing versions.

The question becomes broader than “What should we build next?” We also need to ask, “How will this knowledge stay useful?”

Making time for events like World of Learning is part of how we keep learning at GuyKat. Our purpose is to help organisations share knowledge at scale. Staying curious about how people find and use that knowledge is part of delivering on it.

What Does Great Learning Actually Look Like at Scale?

Hannah — Tue, 07 Apr 2026 10:02:23 +0000

Three Organisations. Three Very Different Challenges.

At Docebo Inspire, we’re bringing together three incredible organisations who are doing something many teams are still trying to figure out, turning learning platforms, like Docebo, into experiences people genuinely want to use.

On the panel, you’ll hear from:

Becky Gardner – Digital Learning Technology Leader at Coca Cola Europacific Partners
Sue Smith – Training & Development Specialist at IDEXX
Tania Flagg – Director, Digital Experience & Enablement at L’Oréal
Guy McEvoy – CEO and Founder of GuyKat (Host)

They all have different learners. Different challenges. Different goals. But all facing the same core question, How do you make learning work in the real world?

What is the session about?

This session will be an honest, behind-the-scenes look at how partnering with GuyKat helps organisations move beyond implementation and maximise the long-term value of their Docebo investment.

Expect to hear how:

Smarter design can completely change how users interact with learning
Small shifts in how content is surfaced can drive big changes in behaviour
The right incentives can turn mandatory learning into something people actively seek out

How can you scale learning without breaking everything?

Rolling out learning at scale isn’t just a technical challenge. It’s organisational, cultural, and operational. This session dives into:

Why phased approaches often outperform “big bang” launches
How to balance global consistency with local needs
What it really takes to support thousands of users across regions, roles, and languages

Where are they taking their Docebo next?

This isn’t just about what’s already been achieved. It’s about what’s coming next.

We’ll cover how to make content more personalised, how to use AI to support performance in the moment and scalable models that can be repeated across brands, teams, and regions.

Why should you attend?

If you’re:

Scaling Docebo (or about to)
Struggling with adoption or engagement
Or just want to see what good looks like in practice

This session will give you real stories, honest lessons, and practical inspiration you can take away immediately. No theory. No fluff. Just what works, and what doesn’t.

And how you can get started today with us!

Join us at Docebo Inspire to hear it first-hand.

3 Things to Know Before Heading to Docebo Inspire 2026

Hannah — Tue, 17 Mar 2026 13:56:09 +0000

Heading to Docebo Inspire 2026?

3 Things to Know Before You Go

Docebo Inspire 2026 is officially heading to Miami in April and GuyKat is once again proud Platinum sponsors of the event.

Docebo Inspire is the ultimate mix of product reveals, L&D networking, cooking puns, and figuring out what’s actually next for learning with Docebo. All with a little Miami sunshine thrown in.

To make sure you leave with more than just a tan, here’s how to navigate the show like a pro:

1. Attend Real-World Sessions

The best part of Inspire isn’t just seeing what the platform can do, it’s hearing what people are actually doing with it.

Skip the theory and look for the success stories.

At GuyKat, we’re putting that into practice with our own panel: honest insights from three global powerhouses who’ve been in the trenches.

Getting the Most Out of Docebo: Lessons from Coca-Cola Europacific Partners, L’Oréal, and IDEXX.

Expect a candid look at:

How these organisations drive real value from their platform
What they’d do differently if they were starting today
How a partner like GuyKat helps keep the momentum going long after go-live

Just practical lessons from teams who’ve done it at scale.

2. The Best Insights Happen at the Coffee Stations

The agenda is packed, but the real “aha!” moments usually happen over good food and drinks.

Whether it’s debating AI strategy, swapping platform tips, or figuring out how to actually map skills, the person standing next to you in the lunch queue might be your most valuable session of the day.

Docebo Inspire is famous for its great food and generous snack breaks, so come prepared with one specific challenge you’re facing then use the crowd as your personal think tank.

You’ll be surprised how many people are solving the exact same problem.

3. Lean on the Experts (That’s Us)

You don’t have to figure out the Docebo ecosystem alone.

As Docebo’s longest-serving partner, we’ve seen it all, from early implementations to complex global scale-ups.

As Platinum Sponsors, we’ve created a dedicated space on our stand where you can:

Fine-tune your current setup
Plan your next big launch
Problem-solve challenges with people who’ve seen it before
Build learning experiences people remember

Whether you’re looking for quick advice or a deeper conversation about where your learning platform could go next, we’re here to help.

See you in Miami!

Whether you’re there for the tech, the community, or the cubanos, make sure to stop by and say hi.

Don’t miss our session: Lessons from Coca-Cola Europacific Partners, L’Oréal, and IDEXX. Check the Inspire app for timings and add it to your schedule.
Come and meet the GuyKat team, share what you’re working on, and let’s talk about what’s next for your learning platform.

A Conversation with La-Z-Boy: Driving Efficiencies with an AI toolkit

Hannah — Wed, 14 Jan 2026 15:31:30 +0000

Considering Colossyan? See How La-Z-Boy Is Using AI Video to Scale Learning, Fast

If you’re exploring Colossyan, chances are you’re looking for one thing, a faster, more sustainable way to create learning content without compromising quality or brand consistency.

AI video promises a lot. But what does it actually look like in practice?

Take a peek inside a global organisation, with real learners, real constraints, and real expectations.

On Wednesday 11th February, GuyKat is hosting a 30-minute, candid webinar with La-Z-Boy to answer exactly that.

This isn’t a product demo.

It’s a behind-the-scenes conversation about how Colossyan fits into a modern learning toolkit—and what L&D teams should know before taking the leap.

The Reality of Scaling Learning

For many L&D and HR teams, content creation becomes the bottleneck:

Video takes too long (and costs too much)
Updates require reshoots or external vendors
Global teams wait months for localised content
Brand consistency is hard to maintain at scale

La-Z-Boy faced these same challenges while supporting a 10,000+ global workforce across retail, manufacturing, and corporate environments. They didn’t need more content. They needed a smarter way to create and maintain it. That’s where Colossyan came in.

Why This Webinar Is Different

This session is designed specifically for teams who are AI-curious but outcomes-driven. Led by David Brannon, Head of Strategic Growth at GuyKat, the conversation will focus on what actually worked and what they’d do differently next time!

You’ll hear directly from:

Tessa Bierlein, Senior Talent Development Specialist, La-Z-Boy
Kristen Perkins, Senior Global Talent Development Manager, La-Z-Boy

Both bring hands-on experience of applying Colossyan inside a real learning ecosystem, not in isolation, but alongside existing tools, platforms, and processes.
