We've saved a thought provoking conversation to round off our podcast schedule in 2025. It's time to reflect as we ask Matt Simmons, Senior Manager for L&D UK at Starbucks "what does the future of work look like to you?"
Will it be more tech? More AI? Or a renewed focus on human connection?
In this episode, Dan and Matt explore what it means to set the learning strategy for over 16,000 partners at a globally recognised brand. Their conversation dives into:
☕️ The ethical and thoughtful integration of AI in workplace learning
☕️ The role of human leadership in an AI-driven future
☕️ Why DEIB matters more than ever
☕️ How Starbucks is preparing its people for what’s next.
💬 “There will be certain core human leadership qualities which persist throughout history… I don’t think AI can or will replace those.” Matt Simmons
