Learning & Development is in the middle of a structural shift. Static course catalogues and once-a-year programs can’t keep pace with how people actually work or consume knowledge. At the same time, AI is making it easier to create content and to deliver it to the right person, at exactly the right moment.
In this fireside chat, we’ll explore what it really takes to move from traditional learning models to “learning in the flow of work.” You’ll hear first-hand from Johanna Bolin Tingvall, Senior Director of Human Growth and Performance at On how they are using Sana Learn to deliver personalised learning experiences at scale and speed.

ABB moved from fragmented HR systems to an integrated HR foundation with Workday at the core - and then shifted from “project” to “platform” mode, building a technology roadmap and a continuous improvement capability to capture feedback, prioritize, implement changes, and keep evolving in line with business needs and strategy.

For MS Reinsurance, a legacy shared Workday set-up with the MS Amlin group meant that the system was not fit for purpose and became a significant barrier to operational excellence. To regain strategic control, MS Reinsurance needed more than just a new tenant, they needed a total system “clean break”. In this session, MS Reinsurance and Deloitte reveal their blueprint for a 5-month tenant carveout, covering 350 employees, 5 countries and 11 modules. We will explore the methodology used to clone functional configuration, integrations, and reports into a pristine, compliant, and independent environment – with minimal business impact.
