AI Is Disrupting the $400 Billion Corporate Training Market at a Quickening Pace, Warns The Josh Bersin Company

New research from The Josh Bersin Company reveals that AI-first learning teams are significantly more likely to innovate and adapt to change compared to traditional organizations. The study indicates that "dynamic enablement" through AI can make companies six times more likely to exceed financial targets and seven times more likely to achieve high productivity. This shift is critical as businesses move away from static e-learning toward personalized, on-demand training solutions.

While fewer than 5% of learning teams have fully adopted AI-native technology, there is a growing demand for personalized training that meets the speed of role redesign. Currently, less than 30% of companies are satisfied with their workforce's skill development using traditional courseware.

The report suggests a decade-long replacement cycle for learning management systems as organizations seek lower-cost, high-impact AI alternatives. AI-delivered training, generated from expert knowledge, is expected to replace 30-year-old static video courses to better meet employee expectations.
