The recent Training Industry Conference & Expo (TICE) 2025 brought together the brightest minds in L&D, and Learning Pool's Nicole Kastner was there to share vital insights on a pressing challengeuser adoption in an era of rapid digital transformation.

The challenge is clear—onboarding and training must evolve to meet the pace of change as digital transformation surges ahead. Even the most powerful systems can fall flat if employees don’t know how to use them effectively. The modern workforce needs training that's instant, intuitive, and seamlessly integrated into their daily workflow.

This is where AI-powered tools become invaluable, automating documentation, delivering real-time step-by-step guidance, and providing support for global teams in any language. The outcome is faster onboarding, significant reductions in support costs, and a workforce prepared to perform from day one.

Here, Nicole Kastner, who attended TICE 2025 and presented a session on Smarter Onboarding, Seamless Support: AI-Powered Training That Meets Employees in the Flow of Work, shares her insights from this informative event.

Transforming user adoption

At the recent Training Industry Conference and Expo 2025, I had the privilege of sharing the stage with some of the brightest minds in L&D to discuss one of today’s most pressing challenges: how we enable our workforce in the face of non-stop change.

During my session, I explored how organizations can transform user adoption and operational performance by rethinking how training is delivered—right at the point of need.

The problem: Software is evolving faster than training can keep up

The numbers speak for themselves:

Traditional training models simply weren’t built for a world where systems update monthly, roles evolve constantly, and teams are dispersed across geographies and time zones.

The opportunity: AI-powered guidance in the flow of work

That’s where our OnScreen Guidance platform comes in. I walked attendees through how our solution brings:

  • Step-by-step in-app guidance to eliminate guesswork and reduce support tickets.

  • Embedded tooltips, real-time announcements, and AI translations to streamline global scale and speed.

  • Auto-captured documentation to remove the need for manual SOP creation every time a process changes.

What makes this powerful? It’s not just training—it’s enablement that lives inside the workflow, integrated into the systems employees already use: from Workday and SAP to Salesforce and beyond.

The results: Real-world impact

Our session also spotlighted how enterprise clients like a global transport services company and a renewable materials manufacturer used OnScreen Guidance to:

  • Slash training time by up to 30%
  • Improve data quality and reduce compliance risk
  • Empower HR teams during Oracle HCM rollouts with less friction and more confidence

As one customer put it, “The OnScreen overlay demystified the most-used tools and tricks… I finally felt confident in the application without needing to memorize every step.”

What resonated most at TICE 2025?

  • HR and L&D leaders are done with one-size-fits-all training.

  • They’re looking for scalable, smart tools that meet employees where they work.

  • And they understand that digital adoption isn’t a checkbox—it’s a critical business strategy.

Final takeaway

Digital transformation isn’t about software. It’s about people. And people don’t need more training—they need better guidance.

Thank you to everyone who joined my session and shared your stories. If you’d like to learn how OnScreen Guidance can reduce onboarding time, eliminate training bottlenecks, and help your next transformation succeed, let’s connect.
