Presentation: Can You Prove Skill Growth? How to Build - and Prove - Durable Workplace Skills
As AI changes how work gets done, skills like communication, analytical thinking, collaboration, creativity, and leadership are becoming even more important. These durable skills help people navigate complex situations, make sound decisions, lead others, and adapt as roles continue to evolve.
But knowing these skills matter is not the same as knowing how to build them—or prove that people are improving.
Many organizations rely on separate assessments, courses, coaching programs, and completion reports. Employees may finish the learning, but L&D and talent leaders are still left asking: Where did people start? What did they practice? Did their capability improve? And are we building the skills our business and workforce strategy require?
In this interactive session, Macmillan Learning and Ignis AI will explore a more connected approach to durable skill development. Attendees will see how experiential assessment can establish a clearer starting point and guide targeted learning. They will also experience how realistic workplace scenarios, feedback, and structured reflection can help people practice skills in situations that reflect their roles and work environments.
The session will introduce a Practice + Proof model that connects:
Assessment → Targeted learning → Contextualized practice and reflection → Reassessment → Proof
Attendees will also get a first look at Workplace Skills, a new joint solution from Macmillan Learning and Ignis AI designed to help organizations build critical capabilities, identify talent and leadership-readiness gaps, and make more informed decisions about where to focus, scale, or redesign development investments.
Participants will leave with a practical framework for evaluating whether their current approach is producing meaningful skill growth—and clearer questions to ask about workforce readiness, leadership pipelines, and the return on L&D investment.
