In our annual State of Learning and Development report, we asked our respondents a number of questions to understand where the corporate learning industry is headed.

While many respondents expressed frustration in the budget and time-demands placed on their teams, overall, learning professionals are optimistic about the future of corporate learning.

When we asked what roles will disappear in the next 5 years, nearly three-quarters of respondents predicted that no role will disappear from the team.

Meanwhile, respondents envision several new roles for the training world. The predictions reflect an industry at the cusp of harnessing big data and innovative technologies to enable learning to change corporate culture more than ever.

We also asked our respondents about what technology they plan on implementing in the next two years. Most teams are focusing on mobile learning, videos and interactive videos, and microlearning. Meanwhile, a small minority are turning their attention to new methodologies that transform trainers from teachers to guides, including personalized learning, learning portals, learning paths, and content curation.
