Bristol (UK), November 2025 - Senior learning directors from The Coca-Cola Company, Deloitte, Atlassian, Fosway Group, and 8Levers joined an executive roundtable on 16th October to discuss a recent whitepaper published by the Sponge Group. The discussion explored how organisations can re-energise a workforce defined by digital saturation, chronic change, and emotional fatigue - a phenomenon Sponge has termed Generation Numb.
The conversation brought together experts from across industries to discuss how high-performing brands are confronting widespread disengagement and rethinking people enablement for a new era of uncertainty.
Hosted by Myles Runham, Senior Analyst at the Fosway Group, the session built on insights from Sponge’s latest whitepaper, Mobilising Generation Numb: Why high-performing brands are rethinking people enablement.
Combined, the panel is responsible audiences of well over a million learners. Together, they explored what it takes for leaders to tap into human motives and emotions at scale – in pursuit of increasing demands for pace and re-invention in their organisations.
The roundtable marks the next phase of Sponge’s ongoing exploration into the future of people enablement, following the release of the Mobilising Generation Numb whitepaper last month.
