Karl Mehta (Edcast) - Knowledge Clouds and the Future of Learning

Summary:

This week’s guest is Karl Mehta, CEO of Edcast, one of the hottest companies in learning technology. Karl is an innovative thinker who left his role as a venture capitalist to build Edcast, which has been widely hailed as the top learning platform on the market (as you will hear, Karl and the team believe Edcast is a “knowledge cloud”, not necessarily an LXP).

This interview was a lot of fun and covers a wide range of important learning industry trends. (My personal favorite is the section about how data can predict which of your employees is most likely to leave next 😊)

 We discuss:

• The pros and cons of moving Edcast’s Future of Work conference online
• The official Edcast origin story
• The importance of consumer grade technology in the workplace
• An deep dive on Edcast as a “Knowledge Cloud”
• The evolving role of L&D given the prominence of AI recommendation engines
• The power of data and its role in the future of learning
• Karl’s seat at the table of the World Economic Forum
• Advice for any company looking to begin their digital transformation
