Thoughts from Christian Friedrich, Managing Director Digital Learning Solutions at Haufe Akademie & Sven Elbert, Head of Analyst Services, Fosway Group on the status quo of qualification, forecasts and LXP the Haufe Akademie .

The current situation: an unprecedented pace of change

When framework conditions change, it is the ability to adapt that counts - this has always been the case and there is nothing to suggest that this will change. We are currently experiencing an unprecedented pace of change and economic challenges at the same time.

Sven Elbert, Head of Analyst Services at the Fosway Group, describes the situation as follows:

"In difficult economic times, companies are under great pressure to capture and deploy their skills to maximize their business benefits. At the same time, employees are also feeling pressure to adapt, to upskill and develop new skills that will guarantee them a successful working life in the future. Digital transformation and AI are greatly accelerating this development."

The biggest challenge at the moment: transformation

These framework conditions also shape the roadmap of the Haufe Akademie and especially our offerings for those responsible for corporate learning. From discussions with our clients, we know that, in addition to the shortage of skilled workers and skill gaps , they also perceive transformation as a particular challenge.

Learning in the moment-of-need

It was against this background that we launched the LXP several years ago. The original idea: learning in the moment-of-need - self-directed and always when and where it is needed.

We asked Sven Elbert to give us his assessment of how he believes our offering meets the challenges of corporate learning.

He says:

“With her Learning Experience Platform enables the Haufe Akademie Learners to acquire the skills they need for their professional development more quickly. This helps employees build or deepen expertise in key areas and improve their employability. At the same time, companies are able to train their employees in increasingly shorter periods of time and at a large scale through upskilling and reskilling initiatives.

The advantages of LXP

This confirms us in what we are doing. At the same time, we know that an LXP is never "finished". We are constantly working on new functions to further support L&D. In addition to self-directed learning, our customers are already using the LXP for other areas. For uncomplicated knowledge sharing, for example. For collaboration in groups. And for making experts and expertise visible in organizations.

My team and I attach particular importance to an intensive exchange with our customers - from conception and roll-out through to operation and ongoing optimization. Our promise is: We stand by our customers.

And rightly so, says Sven Elbert:

“The continuous investments of the Haufe Akademie into their Learning Experience Platform are very well tailored to the qualification challenges of companies. But Learning Experience is not just about software. It is also about learning itself and the organizational context in which learners operate. The special client service approach of Haufe Akademie supports organizations in redesigning learning for learners in such a way that significantly better results are achieved."

We are delighted with this independent assessment from Fosway - and it shows us that we are doing the right thing in challenging times.
