How effectively are you using AI and analytics when it comes to your Learning and Development priorities?  In today’s episode, my guest and I discuss the transformative potential of AI in assessing competencies and skills through advanced performance measurement methods, including AI-facilitated self-assessments and 360 interviews. 

My guest is Kayvon Touran. Kayvon is the CEO of Zal.ai, a startup he co-founded with Joseph Rousseau, and world-renowned learning scientist Dr. Stephen Kosslyn. Previously, he spent six years at Noodle, where he co-created a platform for universities to manage their lifelong learning courses. 

During this tenure the team identified a significant gap in the market concerning organizations’ ability to effectively contextualize, apply, and measure their L&D investments. This insight inspired the launch of Zal.ai, a SaaS product that combines cutting-edge learning science and generative AI to transform workforce learning and development.

In this episode of Leadership: Human-Style, you’ll discover:

✅ How AI can revolutionize L&D’s effectiveness 

✅ The role of HR in helping companies adapt to AI integration

✅ Inspiration around how to enhance performance measurement
