Who is Lavinia Mehedintu and what is her background in L&D?
Hey folks, hope your days are going well so far. Lavinia Mandintu is joining us here today. Tell us a little bit about yourself since it's your first time joining us here on Instructional Designers and Offices drinking coffee.
Hello everyone, wherever you are in the world. I am Lavinia. I'm calling from Bucharest, Romania. I have a background in HR and L and D, and right now I'm running Offbit, which is a space where L and D professionals come to share their experiences, share their knowledge, and also discuss their challenges and the future of L and D. So this is what I do all day.
Well you folks have been digging into and you've been doing a lot of listening and a lot of, you know, learning, et cetera, about this world that we work in in our learning and development spaces, whether we're instructional designers or content makers, all those sorts of different roles. And that's what we are to talk about today is because we're a space where there's a lot of there's a lot going on. There's a lot of change happening. A lot of new stuff, whether it's AI or other things, poking their heads into our worlds and and saying, Hey, we're here. What are you gonna do about it? So I mean, let's talk about I guess some of the things that you've been hearing lately from folks.
Oh, so many things. Just like you said, there are some things that have been recurring over the years, ever since we started off beat, and also some new things. I guess AI is a big topic for everyone at the moment from multiple angles, I would say, because it is about how we are adopting AI as L and D's. It's also about how we're supporting AI enablement in our companies, right? For everyone else to use AI in an effective, sustainable way. And it's also about the fact that AI is changing some learning habits that people have when it comes to, for example, consuming content, maybe Even a bit about how they think about coaching and so on. So there are many angles when it comes to AI, and these are the new bits and pieces, but I would say the old topics still
poke their head out here and there like measurement in L and D, behavior change, how do we properly support it? The fact that we need to do more than training, we need to think more systemically. So all these things are not new, but are still very important regardless of the AI conversation.
And and what kind of I guess reactions are you finding to AI? Let's just stick with that for a little bit here. I mean I'm gonna bet that it's probably not. One hundred percent the same for everyone.
You would win some money for that for that bit. It it's a very wide range of reactions. And I'm I say very wide because we have people who are extremely worried about the job market in general, about their roles, about sustainability and so on. And then we have a bunch of people who are crazy about AI, who are experimenting every day in their roles, but even outside, I would say outside of the organizational boundaries, trying to figure out how to use AI. So yeah, we have everything in between as well. So quite a few, quite a few diverse reactions.
Yeah. I know we've been talking from our team here at Domino, and I should probably mention folks the instructional designers and offices drinking coffee, hashtag idiotic is brought to you here by the team at Domino, where we help L and D teams develop, scale, and deliver learning that maximizes employee value. We've had our client teams have been talking about it in different ways for uh more than a few years now and in different aspects of it. And Some of the client teams are very, very cautious, right? A lot of very understandably so because they work in uh and have, you know, secure things that they need to under wraps, et cetera. So there's a lot of concern about just the security of these types of tools.
It's that off many of them have a very cautious approach. Then some of those some of the organizations though too are are let's roll up our sleeves and and and get into it. It's really been interesting to see how even organizations in the same potential sort of vertical space or whatever have different kind of reactions to it.
