We're thrilled to announce the launch of our new integration with Workday Cloud Connect Learning (CCL), one of the world’s leading providers of enterprise cloud applications for finance, HR, planning, and analytics! 

This integration is poised to transform how organizations curate, manage, and track their learning content in the Workday ecosystem, empowering L&D professionals to seamlessly integrate content management and track learner progress in real time.  

Content management is easier than ever  

For L&D professionals, staying ahead of the curve is essential. With the Go1 and Workday Cloud Connect Integration, L&D teams will gain access to a powerful toolset that simplifies the content management process. Key features include:   

Streamlined content management: Easily import, update, and deactivate learning content from the Go1 catalog directly into the Workday ecosystem. 

Instant learner progress tracking: Workday uses xAPI and webhook technology for real-time tracking, offering immediate insights into learner engagement and compliance. 

Enhanced learning experiences: Merge Go1's vast content library with Workday to deliver personalized learning experiences that fuel continuous development. 

The integration uses a sync of an employee’s curated catalog from the Go1 library, making it easy to import into the Workday ecosystem. Then, customers can complete their curation and synchronize their selections with just a few clicks. Once synchronized, the Workday integration retrieves course metadata and dynamically creates, updates, or deactivates content in the customer's Workday tenant to align with their latest selections. 

Another standout feature of this integration is real-time course completion tracking, ensuring enrollment activity is accurately represented in real time. This real-time tracking is enabled by xAPI and webhook technology, giving organizations clear visibility into learner progress and engagement. 

Currently, estimates suggest 83% of L&D teams track course completion data in some way (although, generally, not in real-time). While this is certainly a large percentage, we think it should be closer to 100%, as course completion tracking is vital for many reasons. For instance, according to Training Industry, 51% of L&D professionals can’t use data effectively due to a lack of in-house data skills. Having reliable access to real time data and analytics will help L&D teams redress this issue.  

What’s more, tracking learner progress is a great way to help L&D teams prove ROI. 1 in 5 L&D teams say ‘a lack of quality data collection’ is an impediment to their ability to demonstrate ROI. On the other hand, organizations with solid data literacy outperform competitors by 5%. Clear, real-time learner tracking is a great way to hone your data literacy and start proving ROI!  

The Go1 and Workday Cloud Connect Integration offers many benefits for organizations looking to enhance their L&D initiatives. As well as streamlining your content management and tracking learner progress in real time, organizations can also: 

Improve engagement and retention: Access to diverse, high-quality learning resources enables employees to continuously develop their skills, leading to increased job satisfaction and retention. 

Increase operational efficiency: Streamlining content management processes and automating enrollment tracking saves time and resources, allowing organizations to focus on delivering impactful learning experiences. 

Drive business growth: Empowering employees with the tools they need to succeed fosters a culture of continuous learning and innovation, thereby driving business growth.  

Implementing this integration can be seamless and hassle-free. Prior to your first use, your Customer Success Manager (CSM) will raise a service request with the Go1 implementations team, who will configure and activate the integration. This should take no more than 24 hours. Following this, for customers with an existing Cloud Connect subscription, simply enter your OAuth client credentials from the Go1 portal to log in. From there, mapping options are available to tailor the integration to your organizational needs, ensuring a customized, uniform learning experience for all users.  

 1.  Activate the integration: Ask your CSM to reach out to the Go1 implementations team to configure and activate the integration.  

 2. Ensure Cloud Connect subscription: Confirm your organization has a valid Cloud Connect subscription with Workday. 

 3. Access integration settings: Log in to your Workday Instance and navigate to the integration settings section. 

 4. Enter credentials: Input your OAuth client credentials from the Go1 portal into the integration settings. 

 5. Configure mappings (optional): Customize the integration by configuring additional mappings to tailor it to your organization's unique needs. 

 6. Synchronize curated catalog: Once configured, the integration will automatically synchronize your curated catalog from Go1 to Workday. 

 7.  Explore learning resources: Gain instant access to a wealth of learning resources available through the integrated platform. 

Go1 and Workday: Partnering for success 

Our partnership with Workday represents a commitment to providing best-in-class learning experiences tailored to the needs of modern organizations. By seamlessly combining Go1's comprehensive content library with Workday's robust ecosystem, customers can unlock new possibilities for employee development and growth. 

From empowering L&D professionals with streamlined content management to offering real-time insights into learner progress, this integration is all about saving you time and boosting efficiency. As organizations embrace this new era of learning technology, we’re dedicated to supporting their journey. Together, we'll empower organizations to unlock their full potential and embrace a love of learning.

Unveiling the Go1 & Workday Cloud Connect Integration

Pop quiz (don’t worry, we promise it’s easy): last week, did you do any of the following?  

If you answered ‘yes,’ you’re not alone. That would make you one of ChatGPT’s 100 million weekly users, or the creator of one of DALL-E’s 14 million weekly images. Perhaps you work for one of the 35% of businesses that regularly use AI.  

A decade ago, this question would have seemed ridiculous. AI was a far-flung fantasy. Now, it's an everyday tool, useful for both work and leisure. And as the technology evolves, the future looks even brighter.  

Today, we’ll glimpse into that future, as we announce our latest product offering: Go1 AI. With Go1 AI, admins can turbocharge the content discovery, curation, and selection process, boosting productivity and efficiency through features like enhanced search functionality, AI chat, and advanced personalization options.  

We’ll share the key details of this new offering, discussing the benefits of Gen AI for personalized learning, before explaining Go1 AI’s features, showing how it supports admins, and sharing testimonials from some of our beta testers.  

There aren’t many things that all L&D leaders agree on. However, the significance of personalized learning is an exception. A whopping 93% of high-performing organizations agree that personalized learning supports employees in reaching their professional goals more efficiently. Yet, achieving personalized learning is easier said than done — especially at scale. Enter, Go1 AI.   

With Go1 AI, admins using Go1 can now create personalized experiences, with help from an unbeatable algorithm that sits on top of the largest content library for training, compliance, and personal development. 

Go1 AI includes several features that make admin’s lives easier. This means you can spend more time doing the work that really matters, leaving Go1 AI to handle the time-consuming curation.  

Go beyond merely matching keywords to receive more contextually relevant results. As you search for content, Go1 AI understands the underlying intent behind your search query and adds suggestions, surfacing the best-matched recommendations by mapping out the Go1 library in seconds.  

With AI chat, you can refine, identify, and group skills, discover, compare, and filter content, ask clarifying questions, add content to your library, and more. Before long, we’ll be adding additional AI chat features, so stay tuned.  

This is where personalized learning shines. Previously, personalized playlists had to be hand-curated. Now, Go1 AI lets L&D admins generate playlists from scratch based on their unique goals and parameters. Instead of browsing the entire library to manually create playlists, Go1 AI curates relevant, personalized playlists in seconds, making it scalable. Simply input your learning goals, refine your parameters, and let Go1 AI do the rest. 

Our approach sets us apart from other providers as we focus not on a single test or skill assessment, but on building comprehensive learner profiles to thoroughly understand learner’s needs. By asking relevant questions throughout the learning journey, we can consistently infer learners’ needs and recommend appropriate content. 

Go1 AI is designed with L&D admins in mind. We want to make your lives easier. As Dan Hayward, Go1’s Chief Customer Officer, says, “empowering L&D admins is essential to supporting the learning journeys of our customers. Go1 AI provides ‘always on’ access to learning and supercharges the ability to tailor individual learning experiences to employees' preferences, needs and learning styles.” 

Go1 AI streamlines how admins search our library by sharing powerful content recommendations, comparing relevant courses, and curating tailored playlists. We believe this level of granularity empowers admins to deliver personalized learning like never before. 

What’s more, we're integrating AI across the board, embedding AI-powered insights directly into the Go1 product to support administrators throughout their workflow. We want to leverage AI to handle 80% of your task, ensuring it’s a powerful ally for L&D administrators. 

Don’t just take our word for it, Go1 AI has completed extensive beta testing with some of our existing customers and partners. Here’s what they had to say.  

“We appreciate the diversity of learning content available to us in the Go1 platform, but we don’t want to get stuck in choice overload when building content playlists,” said Andrew James, digital learning manager at Lloyd’s. “Go1 has streamlined our curation workflow while adding confidence that we found the most relevant content for our team as they explore their own learning and skills development.” 

Or, as Holger Seim, Chief Product Officer at Go1, put it, "Having a vast library of learning content isn’t enough to engage learners in the workplace. L&D leaders need to surface the right content at the right time for each learner to achieve the best outcomes. By leveraging the wealth of data within our content library, Go1 is in the best position to provide smarter recommendations to L&D departments so they can build the most personalized and effective learning programs for their people." 

Don’t worry, among this talk of advanced features and artificial intelligence, we haven’t forgotten that our product is fundamentally for humans. Whether you’re worried AI will take your job, fearful of a robot uprising, or just overwhelmed by this whole AI thing, we’re here to reassure you: Go1 AI will always put humans first. Why? A couple of things set Go1 AI apart.  

Firstly, Go1 AI is trained on the world’s largest learning dataset. This matters because AI technology on its own is fundamentally imperfect. AI is only as good as the data it’s fed. That’s why stories of biased AI are common — you’ve probably heard some.  

To avoid this, Go1 AI utilizes information from 156 million yearly course completions, encompassing 130,000 data points from 250+ content providers in 48 languages. By leveraging data from our content library accessed by hundreds of users daily, we enable best-in-class content-to-learner matching and surface accurate, honest results. 

What’s more, we listen to learners. Recently, 87% of L&D professionals said they want the content they consume to be created by a subject matter expert. The survey concluded that “respondents are not opposed to L&D practitioners using AI technology to improve their efforts, but they still want humans to create, plan, and direct the activities.”  

Accordingly, we firmly believe AI should complement, not supersede, human creativity. AI is great at analyzing data and recognizing patterns. However, it lacks the nuance and emotional intelligence that only human judgement offers. Think of Go1 AI as your ally, picking up the slack when you want it to, and leaving you to focus on your strengths. Human judgement should always come first – Go1 AI is here to help.   

Finally, this is only the start! Over the coming months, we’ll have more exciting announcements as we continue to improve and refine Go1 AI. Keep an eye out for more to come.  

Go1 AI features are now available for select customers and partners. To learn more, contact your Customer Success Manager.  

We're announcing our latest product offering: Go1 AI. With Go1 AI, admins can turbocharge the content curation process, through features like enhanced search functionality, AI chat, and advanced personalization options.  

Go1 + Gen AI: Unlocking creative learning journeys

In today's diverse work environment, learning and development teams face the challenging task of curating content that addresses skill gaps and aligns with organizational business goals. With fluctuating skill requirements across different teams and departments, as well as ever-changing business goals and objectives, the task of building a versatile, adaptable workforce through skill development has become increasingly complex and multifaceted.

Existing tools used by L&D teams often fall short of meeting employee needs for scalable and personalized learning programs. Navigating through these tools and features feels like searching for a needle in a haystack, compelling admins to resort to manual workflows. This results in countless hours and days spent on the painstaking task of identifying and preparing high-quality, relevant learning for learners. All the time spent on such repetitive work eventually detracts from some of the more strategic aspects of their jobs that link back to business goals.

That’s why today we are thrilled to announce Go1 AI, a new suite of AI-powered features and tools that transform the way L&D admins get their work done. With Go1 AI, admins can turbocharge content discovery, curation and selection, and delegate their most mundane tasks, exponentially increasing productivity and efficiency.

For some of the more strategic L&D initiatives – whether it's demonstrating high-quality content, providing region-specific training for a global workforce, fostering self-directed learning, or implementing organization-wide skill-based learning – think of Go1 AI as your intuitive colleague. It not only lays the foundation but also expedites your progress.

Discover relevant skill-based content, instantly

Finding relevant content starts with core search functionality. This typically involves traditional keyword-based search technology that focuses on specific words or phrases. However, they often fail to grasp the broader context and sentiment, leading to a tedious process of many steps to uncover content and verify associated skills.

Now, with AI-Enhanced Search, admins can go beyond matching keywords to receive more contextually relevant results and skills. As they search for content, Go1 AI immediately understands the underlying intent, adds suggestions, and surfaces the best-matched skill recommendations and content by mapping out the entire Go1 library, in seconds.

Alternatively, admins can go to our new AI Chat interface to select skills, receive content recommendations aligned with their unique needs, and start building a series of courses to directly import into a playlist or sync to their library, all within a streamlined workflow.

Sampling results before enrolling or assigning content is a standard practice for admins to be confident that they're delivering the best learning for their employees. Before the time of AI, admins were compelled to go through every single course and dedicate endless hours of manual work to validate quality and relevance.

Now, admins can quickly evaluate if a course meets their needs by previewing learning outcomes, course summaries, skills covered, and course ratings, and compare similar results with other relevant content across providers and formats.

Stitch together content into personalized playlists, effortlessly

If you want to organize, structure, and sequence content into personalized learning paths, Go1 makes the process significantly easier. Previously, this involved only relying on human intervention and guidance by Go1 Content Consultants to curate learning playlists.

With Go1 AI, L&D admins can soon generate new playlists based on their unique goals and parameters from scratch, with no human wait time. Instead of browsing the entire catalog and manually creating playlists, Go1 AI will curate highly relevant and personalized learning, in seconds, helping admins get a head start.

Built on the world’s largest and richest learning content dataset

We've quietly utilized the power of Large Language Models (LLMs) and AI to facilitate better decision-making behind the scenes — improving content classification and tagging, developing a skills taxonomy, breaking down learning concepts into relevant skills and content suggestions, enhancing content metadata, etc.

Now, with AI at the forefront of the admin experience, we’re enabling L&D teams to streamline how they search for skill-based content, receive recommendations, compare relevant courses with quality signals, curate tailored playlists, and gain insight into content retirements — all within a single product.

By leveraging unparalleled content intelligence from 130,000 learning courses and 250 content providers in 10+ formats and 48 languages, Go1 AI stands out for its ability to surface the right content for every employee. We believe that this level of granularity and consolidation will empower L&D admins and leaders to make more informed decisions and deliver personalized learning programs like never before.

We are just at the beginning of our AI journey at Go1, and we see limitless potential in how AI can shape the future of skill-building and learning. Over the coming months, we will continue deepening our content intelligence, improving our core discovery and curation tools, and adding new AI-powered capabilities, for best-in-class content to learner matching. Go1 AI is available to customers on a rolling basis, starting today. To learn more, visit our product page.

Today we are announcing that Go1 has acquired Blinkist, a mobile-first learning app summarizing key ideas from professional books and podcasts, which is used by tens of millions of people worldwide. The acquisition forms the foundation of an innovative new model of corporate learning, which seeks to engage learners through their day-to-day lives.

At Go1, our goal is to provide organizations with access to high-quality, meaningful content, and we can now take that a step further to meet learners where they are. It's a model that's unmatched in the learning market, and one we're very excited about.

By joining forces, we can offer our customers and partners access to Blinkist's full library of digests of key ideas from professional development books, which have already proven to be among Go1's most popular and engaging titles. Importantly, in time we can give users the power to learn outside traditional workplace settings. Employees will be able to read, listen, or watch content at any depth — a sound bite, a 15-minute summary, or a full course — on any device, and at any time or location.  

“We started Blinkist as a service for learners but saw growing interest from companies in recent years,” said Holger Seim, CEO of Blinkist. “Combining forces with Go1 lets us capitalize on this trend and establish Blinkist as a strong addition to companies’ learning mix, while continuing to grow our consumer brand.”  

Go1 and Blinkist share a common goal of fostering a lifelong love of learning, and the two organizations already have a strong partnership in place. The combination of the Blinkist and Go1 libraries represents a powerful set of learning assets for customers of both companies. We will keep our customers and partners updated as we integrate Blinkist into the Go1 product portfolio and build out new capabilities.

“I have been following the Go1 journey for a number of years and believe in the impact and opportunity that education affords,” said Charles Conn, chair of Patagonia, co-founder and partner of Monograph Capital. “As a co-author of Bulletproof Problem Solving, I know first-hand how critical it is to reach a broader audience and it is great to have our audiobook, book summary, and short course all available through one subscription in the future. Go1's acquisition of Blinkist will significantly expand top content offerings to its users, increasing access and knowledge from authors and researchers to empower learners and organizations across the world.”

To the Blinkist team: We're proud to have you join us at Go1!
