Get Ready: AI ANXIETY is REAL!

Generative AI can streamline workflows today and render long-standing programs obsolete tomorrow. For L&D leaders, that means spotting threats and opportunities quickly and acting with intention.


In comes Dr. Andrew Barrett's virtual session “From AI Anxiety to Strategic Clarity: Applying the CATS AI Strategic Framework” on April 15 @ 12pm-1pm.


In this interactive session, Andrew will walk participants through ScaleLearning’s CATS AI Strategic Framework. Drawing on leadership experience at TD, Shopify, and Carleton University, Andrew will show how L&D teams can move beyond AI panic and toward a clearer roadmap for relevance, upskilling, and reskilling.


Participants will learn how to:

  • map their portfolio against automation and obsolescence risk

  • ask the four quadrant-specific questions that reveal the next strategic move

  • turn the outcome into a one-page action plan senior leaders will actually read

  • use a repeatable workshop template to elevate L&D from order-taker to strategic partner


This is a session for anyone responsible for learning strategy, workforce capability, and leading through AI-driven change.





Let's prepare for the session...

  1. Reading: CATS AI Strategic Framework — the clearest primer on the model behind the session, including the two axes (Human Advantage and Future Viability) and the four moves: Capitalize, Assess, Transform, Shift.

  2. Reading: Pandemic Resilience to AI Agility: Start with 3 L&D Fundamentals — useful context on why strong L&D fundamentals matter even more as AI raises the stakes for learning teams.

  3. Reading: Learning from COVID-19 to Prepare for AI Disruption: Wisdom Gap Impacts On L&D — helpful background on Barrett’s broader “wisdom gap” framing and why L&D needs a strategic response to AI disruption.

  4. Podcast: Reimagining Learning Through the Lens of AI — covers Barrett’s journey, common mistakes organizations make when adopting AI in education, and practical guardrails for responsible use.

  5. Podcast: Peer Learning and AI — a useful listen for attendees interested in how AI, peer learning, and innovative L&D programs fit together.
