"Creating Training Videos: Professional Quality With a Smartphone" officially comes out next week! And, I have received some physical copies of the book which look great and have given me a spring in my step! When I pick up a book, I often ask how it takes a concept and helps me apply it. So, I made sure to include plenty of tips in this book. And to make it even more real, I’ve spotlighted seven folks who make video, as a regular part of their training and talent development practice, or are innovators in our field, moving the profession forward. They include Matthew Pierce, Gary Lipkowitz, Diane Elkins, Tim Slade, Danielle Wallace, Nicole Papaioannou Lugara, PhD, and Matt Gjertsen. Their ideas and thoughts are featured in this book and are an important part of the story of video and learning. We get to learn their ideas, perspectives and some short cuts as well as peer into the future to consider how they see video being used to drive organizational performance and what we might do differently to produce it with advancements like AI. Thanks to folks who have messaged me to say they’ve pre-ordered the book from Amazon. (The book is available on Amazon for pre-order.) It’s very humbling and I appreciate your support. Good luck using video to develop talent in your work!

Our secret for consistently creating meaningful work? We’re constantly learning. Whether you’re an entrepreneur, maker or manager, lifelong learning needs to be an integral part in your business growth strategy. At KRAFT designsmiths® we host a weekly opportunity to learn, discuss and apply. Last week our own Dian Labuschagne led us in a book review on Austin Kleon’s classic, Steal Like An Artist. Not just for creative types, Kleon’s book was a timely reminder of the ongoing need to: 📌 Learn from what has been done before 📌 Reinterpret the wisdom of others for new contexts 📌 Find your own creative voice by taking bold action. See the slides for an overview and let us know - what are you learning next? -

Most training content is generic: the same videos, the same slides, the same quizzes. An employee sits through a PowerPoint presentation, then takes a basic test... But they don’t help; very few learn effectively that way. Because they don’t create engagement — They just throw information at the worker. You might say, “Our content is informative and detailed.” 💡But that misses the point: You can’t enhance learning without understanding the learner's unique needs. And if effective training is the goal — You need AI to tailor your training sessions. That’s why modern presentation software with AI features is a game changer: 1️⃣ Learner Profiles: AI analyzes communication preferences + learning history. It’s not just about what they learn, but how they learn best. If you understand this, your training will be more effective. 2️⃣ Content Customization: AI suggests the right type of content. Visual learner? More videos and infographics. Narrative learner? Engaging stories and examples. 3️⃣ Optimal Timing: AI determines when learners are most receptive. Maybe after a series of successful sessions, introduce more challenging content. Use gamification to gauge learning intent and adapt accordingly. We take these variables and tailor around your staff’s individual needs. It requires some initial setup, but it beats generic training by a mile. And I get it — traditional methods are familiar (you’ve used them for decades). But the answer is definitely not one-size-fits-all ➡️ it’s customized and adaptive. AI is changing everything — and learning and development isn’t an exception.
