Why This Book Matters?

1. Voice Data Is the New Gold

Stop relying on vague meeting notes. Record real conversations, transcribe them, and use AI to uncover what learners actually need. This approach surfaces root problems—not just what shows up in kickoff calls.

2. AI Isn’t the Shortcut—It’s the Catalyst

AI won’t replace you. It clears your path. Offload drafts, summaries, and structure to focus on what really matters: strategy, empathy, and clarity.

3. Design Learning for Reality—And AI Can Help

You’re not here to fulfill training orders. You’re here to solve real problems. AI helps cut through assumptions so you can design learning that actually meets the moment.

Want more? This book is packed with practical strategies to help today’s learning designers lead with AI.

Ready to Design Learning That Works?

Whether you’re a learning designer, manager, or L&D strategist, The New Learning Stack will help you reframe your process, integrate AI with purpose, and build better learning—faster.

“Designers who learn to collaborate with AI intentionally, strategically, with empathy will build faster, sharper, and more relevant learning than ever before.”

Start with voice. Design with empathy. Use AI with intention. Let’s build what’s next.
