We’re a finalist in the British Training Awards 2026, twice.

I’m very proud to share that The Training Marketplace has been shortlisted in two categories this year:

AI in Learning Initiative of the Year
Start-Up of the Year

This means a great deal to us, not only because of the recognition but also because of the company we are in.

In the AI category, we are shortlisted alongside organisations including HSBC, Samsung Electronics UK, the Government Communication Service, and several other brilliant teams. In the Start-Up category, we are recognised alongside some exciting businesses helping to shape the future of learning.

For The Training Marketplace, this is a strong signal that the work we are doing matters. Our mission has always been to make corporate training easier to find, easier to compare, and easier to access by connecting buyers directly with trusted training providers.

A big thank you to New Possible and the British Training Awards for the recognition, and congratulations to all the finalists.

Winners are announced on 15 July in Covent Garden. Fingers crossed.

Psychological safety is not a soft HR issue.
It is becoming a transformation issue.

In the latest Training Pulse column for Training Magazine, Peter Evans and Ali Khan highlight a clear signal from the data:

45% said lack of psychological safety is what makes them most uncomfortable heading into work.

That matters because transformation depends on people being willing to question, learn, experiment, and adapt.

AI adoption will not succeed in cultures where people do not feel safe to speak up or try something new.

No trust.
No experimentation.
No transformation.

Generic AI training isn’t just ineffective,
It's actively holding teams back.

82% of organisations have already rolled it out.
Yet 59% report zero change in behaviour.

Because knowing what AI is…
is very different from knowing how to work with it.
The shift happening right now isn’t about better prompts.

It’s about a new role emerging inside organisations:
👉 The “Agent Boss”

Employees are no longer just users of tools.
They are managers of intelligent systems.
And that requires a completely different skillset:
• Briefing AI with precision
• Validating outputs critically
• Escalating when human judgement matters

The companies getting this right are already moving away from:
❌ Long, generic courses
❌ Completion-based metrics

And towards:
✔ Flow-of-work simulations
✔ Real performance outcomes
✔ Faster time-to-proficiency

This isn’t a future trend.
It’s already happening.

At The Training Marketplace, we’re seeing a clear shift in demand:
➡️ From “AI basics”
➡️ To applied, role-specific AI capability building

If your L&D strategy still looks like 2024…
it might be time to rethink it.

Looking to build real AI capability (not just awareness)?

Being right doesn’t win negotiations.
Being understood does.

That’s where most teams struggle.

The Negotiation Initiative, led by Mark Davis, helps leaders navigate complex, high-stakes negotiations with cultural intelligence — turning conversations into trust, alignment, and outcomes that last.

Not just tactics. Not just frameworks.
A deeper understanding of how people think, perceive, and decide.

Here’s a great piece of advice from L&D expert Peter Evans

When it comes to figuring out what your customers really want, don't just outsource the thinking to AI! 🛑

While it's tempting to plug a few details into ChatGPT and let it build an Ideal Customer Profile for you, Evans warns that AI outputs often look so "brilliant" that we stop questioning them.

There is no one-size-fits-all! Instead, he suggests a reverse approach: map out your customer's goals and fears yourself first, and then ask the AI, "What do you think about this?"

How are you using AI in your customer research? Let us know below! 👇
