Learning Pool, the award-winning learning technologies company, has announced the launch of a major new product ahead of its 14th annual Learning Pool Live user conference.
The release will leverage the know-how of People-Analytix, a Swiss based pioneer in AI-powered skills technology, who were recently acquired by Learning Pool.
The shift to put skills at the centre of Learning Pool’s technology offering is a wider reflection of the most profound change we’ve seen in learning technologies in recent times.
Commenting on the new product, Ben Betts, Learning Pool CEO, said: “Every global enterprise is struggling to attract and retain skilled employees, and the widening skills gaps that are stopping businesses from growing at the pace they desire are apparent in every boardroom conversation. Learning Pool’s acquisition of People-Analytix, and the subsequent advancements it will bring to our platform, means that we can now give customers the power to automatically address skills gaps as they appear. It is a tremendously exciting technology and a fundamental component in our wider mission to support talent development in creating extraordinary performers”.

Learning Pool notes that analysts and market commentators are keen to point out that the pivot to skills is not a temporary fad, but a fundamental shift in the way we think about talent and development. .
The World Economic Forum predicts that by 2025, as many as 50% of all workers will need reskilling.
Fiona Leteney, Senior Analyst, Fosway Group commented on the trend: “Fosway research shows that skills are a critical strategic priority for organisations. However, only 20% of learning professionals say they are very effective at upskilling and reskilling. Both organisational agility and resilience are dependent on developing the right skills at pace, Learning Pool's acquisition of People-Analytix significantly strengthens its skills capabilities to address those needs.”
