Inside Out: Lessons Across Learning Functions

Recorded live at the 2026 ASU+GSV Summit in San Diego, this session featured Mark Atkinson, CEO at Mursion; Majd Sakr, Chief Learning Officer at Accenture; Marissa Farrar, Chief People Experience Officer at Turnitin; Karie Willyerd, Head of Strategic Engagements at GP Strategies; Colton Gyulay, Chief Operating Officer at Speak; and Julia Stiglitz, CEO and Co-Founder at Uplimit.

The speakers discussed how learning organizations have taken many forms—from internal L&D to customer education and hybrid enablement—but have increasingly shared the same mandate: building skills effectively, at scale, and with measurable impact. As AI reshaped how learning was designed, delivered, and embedded into work, the session surfaced lessons that emerged when audiences, operating models, and practices intersected. The conversation showed how workforce leaders could translate insights across contexts to drive meaningful skill-building, performance, and impact in a fused learning ecosystem.
