The Ryan Report: January 2026

As we step into 2026, I’ve been spending time looking ahead at what’s coming for our workplaces and in this month’s, Ryan Report I examine the rapid shifts in AI to the seven L&D trends that I believe will truly shape the year. One theme that keeps coming up for me is how we talk about AI. So often it feels like chatting about the weather: lots of predictions, not a lot of meaningful movement.

In my latest video, I dig into why so many AI efforts lose momentum and what it really takes to make these tools work with us, not just around us. It’s less about the tech and more about aligning our systems, habits, and expectations.

And because every new initiative needs a solid foundation, I’m sharing a few free resources to help you build or refine your learning strategy. In this month’s Ryan Report You’ll find links to a free Learning Strategy eBook, a fillable Strategy‑on‑a‑Page (SOAP) template, and a Learning Strategy Scorecard generously provided by the team at WeLearn. Each one is designed to help you get clearer, more confident, and more intentional about the year ahead.

If these ideas spark something for you, I’d love to continue the conversation, let’s find time here. Let’s keep learning, experimenting, and shaping better ways of working—together.
