UNLEASH Special - Julian Kirchherr about why L&D needs radical simplicity now - ENG

"40% of large companies completely slashed their L&D budgets
in 2024 – because CEOs don't see the business impact."


A shock? Perhaps rather a necessary wake-up call for a function
that too often measures "Happy Sheets" instead of delivering real
"Return on Learning." That is what I am talking about in this
episode of GOOD MORNING L&D.





My guest:


Julian Kirchherr, Partner at McKinsey & Company





As a transformation expert, Julian sees what is really going on
in the boardrooms of global corporations every day. He delivers
no theory, but radical approaches against "pilotitis" and for an
HR function that must reinvent itself.





We talk about:


– Why we need to stop building complex "skill cemeteries" (and
why 30 skills per profile are enough)


– The new 70-20-10 rule: Why only 10% of AI transformation
budgets should go into tech, and 70% into "rewiring"


– An end to "Happy Sheets": How to prove hard "Return on
Learning" in the P&L to prevent budget cuts


– The "No HR" thesis: Why administrative HR work is being
automated and a merger with IT ("Chief People & Digital
Officer") is the future


– A practical example: How an internal AI agent replaced an
entire recruitment marketing agency and saved millions
