Rule #22. Use AI for personalization.

We all need different development paths!

Ever sat through a training program that felt completely irrelevant to your needs? I know I have. And I’ll admit it—I’ve been responsible for creating those programs myself. Not that irrelevant, but still I had to work with the resources and budgets I had, and personalization was something we all wanted but couldn’t realistically achieve. It was just too much to handle manually. That is, until AI came along and changed the game.

So what’s different? AI has made it possible to tailor learning and development paths to each person literally in minutes in a way that’s actually practical. No more generic training that misses the job specific part. Now, we can dive deep into what each person needs for a specific role, and it’s a game-changer for both the company and the employees.

For companies, this means incredible efficiency. Team spending way less time on irrelevant training and more on the skills that truly matter. The result? Faster skill-building and a noticeable boost in productivity. Companies that use personalized learning are already seeing up to a 50% increase in employee engagement and retention. That’s not just a small improvement—it’s a huuuuuge advantage.

And let’s talk about the bottom line. Clearly when your team is well-trained and fully engaged, they perform better. It impacts everything! Better performance means closing more deals, launching innovative products, or delivering excellent customer service. That kind of impact drives serious revenue growth.

But it’s about the people too. Finally getting training that’s relevant to an individual career helps employees grow faster, and makes people enjoy their job more. This is how you turn a job into a career path, and how you keep your best people from leaving. 

Not convinced? Considering that losing an employee can cost up to 200% of their salary, investing in personalized learning is one of the smartest moves you can make.

Let’s talk culture—because AI doesn’t just personalize learning; it creates a culture of continuous growth. Employees aren’t just going through the motions; they’re constantly evolving, adapting, and improving. This isn’t just about keeping up—it’s about staying ahead and building a team that’s always ready for what’s next.

The power of AI-driven personalization is clear. It’s not just about making things more efficient; it’s about real transformation. Higher productivity, increased revenue, lower turnover—this is what happens when you get personalization right. 

If you’re not using AI to tailor development paths, you’re missing the biggest opportunity of the decade.
