On 27th October 2021, the Asia Learning, Development & Culture Council of The Conference Board convened to discuss how Artificial Intelligence (AI) can be leveraged in Learning & Development to drive greater learning “stickiness”. More specifically, the discussion focused on the application of “Nudge Theory” and post-L&D-program nudging to drive behavioral change among employees. Ravi Bhamidipati – an eminent thought leader in the field of AI who is President and Head of Design Solutions at Worxogo – presented to the group. His presentation addressed: How does ‘nudge theory’ – as pioneered by Nobel Laureate behavioral economist, Professor Richard Thaler – apply to AI-driven learning and development strategies? (Asia Learning, Development & Culture Council members can access presentation materials via their council community webpage).
Key questions discussed at the meeting included:
How can nudging technology effectively complement human (manager) involvement?
What are the key success factors in deploying it effectively?
What is the role of timing and hierarchical pressure, in ensuring desirable outcomes?
What role will managers need to play to enhance process outcomes?
How can you motivate employees to use the technology?
What role should the company’s leadership play in endorsing the importance of employee engagement in the process?

A straw poll conducted by the Council’s Program Director at the start of the meeting indicated that three-quarters of participants had no prior experience using nudging in AI-driven learning and development strategies but that 25% were actively considering its use.

Ravi defined ‘nudges’ as ‘behavior triggers’ used by policymakers and other choice designers that lead recipients to make better choices without restricting their freedom to choose. |
Nudging encourages employees to take small steps and rewards them at the end of even small accomplishments through badges, social recognition, or other means.
