Learning in media and technology is no longer a support function. It has become operational infrastructure that shapes speed, capability, and commercial outcomes. This article explores how organisations use Totara to move faster, scale learning beyond employees, and connect development directly to performance. Drawing on real-world case studies, it shows how learning supports revenue enablement, reduces operational risk, and helps organisations build the capabilities they need to operate and grow in complex, fast-moving environments.

Totara v20 marks a shift from managing learning to enabling performance. In this article, we unpack how the latest release strengthens compliance, brings clarity to skills, reduces admin effort, and connects learning into the wider business. Rather than listing features, we explore what these changes mean for L&D and HR leaders who need confidence, visibility, and impact at scale.

In this article, we explore how blocks enable scalable personalisation through targeted dashboards, role-based content, and AI-powered recommendations. Using real-world examples from Emirates Health Services, Oxford Health NHS, and the Garden Centre Association, we show how blocks reduce noise, improve relevance, and make learning feel designed for each learner. The real shift is thinking about experience, not just pages.
