In a world moving at the pace of AI, can your organization build the capabilities it needs fast enough to matter?
That’s the question at the heart of this first episode of The Learning Velocity Series, a three-part series on why learning velocity—the ability to build capabilities at the speed of business change—has become the defining competitive advantage.
Performance Matters Podcast host Michael Thiel sits down with GP Strategies CEO JF Vezina to set the stakes. JF unpacks why the old workforce development playbook is broken, why speed to capability is a fundamentally different game than more training, and why only 19% of L&D teams are seen as true strategic partners inside their organizations.
JF also makes a bold prediction about 2026 and what it means for every learning leader navigating continuous disruption.
Whether you’re a CLO, a CHRO, or a business leader trying to close critical skill gaps, this episode will challenge how you think about learning and what it takes to amplify your people’s potential at the speed of opportunity.
