As organizations navigate rapid AI-driven transformation, Foundever continues to contribute meaningfully to the global conversation on how learning must evolve to scale with technology, without losing the human element that drives performance.
In #LearnForward Episode 9: Scaling Learning in the Age of AI, Shane Baetz, Global Head of Learning at Foundever, joined Doreen Tan, Head of Coursera for Business Asia, in a thought-provoking discussion hosted by Yasmin Taj of ETHRWorld & ET Education at The Economic Times. In the episode, Shane shared how Foundever is rethinking learning as an adaptive, skills-based ecosystem that embeds capability-building directly into the flow of work rather than separating it from the job.
The conversation explored how AI can act as a catalyst to accelerate skills development at scale, how organizations can support distributed and diverse workforces without losing human context, and why shifting from traditional training models to experiential and just-in-time learning is critical, particularly in Southeast Asia’s rapidly evolving markets. A key message from Shane: in an AI-driven world, competitive advantage will not come from training faster, but from learning faster. Capability is built through experience, feedback, and continuous adaptation.
Discover how Foundever is helping organizations stay learn-ready, adaptable and resilient. Watch the full episode below.
