Case Study: Sky transforms L&D with Agile learning solutions from LinkedIn Learning

Sky launches learning solutions in 2 weeks with LinkedIn Learning

Sky, a major European entertainment company, faced challenges with its traditional learning and development (L&D) approach, which was too slow, top-down, and not learner-focused. The team, led by Head of People Development Tracey Waters, sought a new method to reduce waste and deliver more timely, flexible, and personal learning solutions. They turned to the principles of Agile project management for inspiration.

The solution was implemented using an Agile framework, inspired by a book and supported by the team's own research. This new approach involved forming sprint teams to release minimum viable products within two weeks, rigorously incorporating learner feedback, and breaking down internal silos. As a result, Sky’s L&D team, which utilized tools like LinkedIn Learning, solved problems faster, became more data-driven, and created more effective, cost-efficient learning solutions, fundamentally transforming their operation.
