Fosway Group opens Digital Learning Realities Research 2025
Fosway Group, Europe’s #1 HR industry analyst in partnership with Learning Technologies, Europe’s leading learning workplace event, this month opens its annual Digital Learning Realities research survey.
Now in its tenth year, the research aims to uncover the business priorities that are shaping digital learning strategies, and the approaches L&D professionals are adopting to help organisations successfully support hybrid working and organisational transformation. Through the Learning Technologies partnership, Fosway Group again has the support from Europe’s biggest L&D event network to help reach many of EMEA’s key learning decision makers and dig into the true realities of working with digital learning in 2025.
Last year’s research revealed that upskilling and reskilling are now the top strategic priority for learning. This represents a paradigm shift in strategic priorities for learning teams and the C-Suite, as well as a welcome opportunity for every employee, organisation-wide. Will this year’s research return results that maintain such employee-centric priorities?
Other key insights from the Digital Learning Realities 2024 research include:
- 69% say they plan to use their budget to upskill subject matter experts
- 22% will be using an external contractor marketplace less, with 41% of respondents also saying they will use their internal talent marketplace more
- 65% say the cost of learning content will decrease because of the predicted adoption of AI
The research, with an annual average of over 1,000 respondents worldwide, will open in March 2025 with results available later in the year as a series of infographics, as well as the well-established Fosway Group ‘Ask the Analyst’ session with Chief Insights Officer David Perring.
“In this landmark year for Fosway Group’s Digital Learning Realities research, we expect yet more unique and critical insight into how learning leaders are achieving their strategic learning goals for 2025 and beyond,” said David Perring.
“Trends, fads and buzzwords come and go, but the reality of digital learning is that we are in an exciting space, particularly through the development and proliferation of AI. AI offers the opportunity to leverage technology like never before. But the pressure for L&D to positively impact the business bottom line has rarely felt so acute. Which trends will endure and which will be disrupted? Fosway Group will be here to analyse it all and provide the insight to EMEA’s HR and learning leaders.”
All respondents will receive priority access to the research findings.
