Book Description

Successfully Implement AI in L&D, the Learner Experience, and Your Organization

The AI Implementation Guide for L&D is a practical, forward-thinking resource for L&D leaders and practitioners who are navigating the integration of AI within their organizations and looking to drive meaningful, enterprise-wide change.

At the heart of this book is the “AI Implementation Canvas,” a comprehensive planning tool that helps teams design and deploy AI solutions with clarity, care, and confidence. From aligning with business goals to navigating legal and ethical considerations, this book guides readers through every stage of implementation—from experimentation and scaling to governance, measurement, and change management. It offers a powerful lens for understanding how AI affects personal productivity, the learner experience, and organizational transformation.

Filled with actionable insights, reflection questions, and “one small step” challenges, this book equips you to:

  • Identify where AI is already affecting learning and where it should.
  • Build AI readiness across teams and stakeholders.
  • Use L&D as a launchpad for broader organizational transformation.
  • Play a significant role in helping your organization determine how to integrate AI into its operations.

If you’re an L&D leader, HR strategist, or enterprise change agent, this book will help you lead an AI-powered transformation—not just in learning, but through learning.

Editorial Reviews

Review

“As someone who’s built AI ventures and led federal innovation teams, I see this guide as the missing link between ambition and real implementation. It shows how to deliver impact by centering people, learning, and collaboration.”

—Joshua Di Frances, Vice President and Head of Incubation and Venture Building, LG Electronics; Former Executive Director, White House Presidential Innovation Fellows


“This book is pure gold for learning professionals ready to move from hype to human-centered impact. It’s a blueprint for responsible, thoughtful, and actionable AI integration. With step-by-step guidance, practical tactics, case studies, and real-world stories, Megan bridges the gap from theory to impact. A must-have for anyone serious about getting ahead of AI implementation.”

—Liza Mucheru Wisner, Head of Talent and Workplace Culture, OpenSesame


“AI may be inevitable, but implementation is a choice. If your organization is wrestling with AI readiness, alignment, and impact, Megan Torrance’s guide meets you right where you are with a refreshingly honest, human-centered approach that replaces hype with clarity and helps L&D lead change with people, not just technology.”

—Mark Britz, Author, Social by Design; Director of Event Programming and Content, The Learning Guild
