Why this topic matters

AI upskilling plans often reflect L&D's view of the problem while missing what sponsors, managers, and employees need. In this live lesson, Andrew Barry will use Claude and a Stakeholder Pressure Test Canvas to expand one proposal across three perspectives, surface hidden assumptions, and identify the human conversations needed before making a recommendation.
