We're strong believers in the power of gathering. That's why we've created a space that brings together groups of leaders to make the connections they need.
Research & Data
Solid, unbiased research is our core. Too much information out there is biased or paid for — so we collaborate with members to fund independent, fair, and relevant research.
Conversations
Building relationships is essential for solving problems. We connect people through introductions and by sharing stories via our podcasts, case studies, and more.
RedThread's Workplace Stories is like a "Skills Information power bank". The manner in which Dani and Stacia drive the discussions with their guests is refreshing, informative, and a very honest discussion. It provides everyone who is on their respective skills journey with their organization the ability to understand what works, might work, does not work, which are the difficult bits, lessons learned, and also allows us in the future to make connections with participants.

I've gotten more out of my RedThread membership than any other I belong to. The research you all do is of high quality, and your content is timely, relevant, and consumable. I also really enjoy the community of peers that I have gotten to know through your platform. All of this is at a price point that can't be beat. Kudos to what you all are doing.

RedThread's membership is worth it! I have not been paid to say this.

In the past 3 years, we’ve had 80+ conversations with innovative leaders. Podcasts are available to all. For extras like behind-the-scenes content and transcripts, become a member.
AI has crossed the threshold from experiment to infrastructure, trust is eroding in ways we didn't predict, and the global rules HR was built around are actively fracturing.
Five trends. Five mandates leaders must keep in mind this year. If you've been wondering what all of this disruption actually means for your function and your organization, this report is your starting point.
Many organizations have more than a dozen systems generating skills signals. Without a clear architecture to coordinate meaning, governance, and usage, those signals can quickly become fragmented and difficult to trust or act on.
In this research, we explore what skills data architecture actually is, why it matters, and the four common models organizations use today (each with different strengths and tradeoffs).
We've been studying how L&D functions actually structure themselves, and the honest answer? The traditional frameworks have run their course.
If you've ever inherited a structure that wasn't quite right, wondered why certain elements feel impossible to move, or struggled to explain why your function works the way it does, this report is for you.
The 2026 Learning Technology market looks broader, bolder, and blurrier than it was in 2023. Our database now covers 461 vendors (up from 426), and the market continues to evolve and reorganize.
If you're a buyer trying to navigate this market, a vendor trying to stand out, or an L&D leader trying to understand where this is all headed, this report gives you some data to work with.
