The two new experiences include Masterclasses led by AI experts with live Q&A and AI Labs for hands-on skill building
SAN DIEGO, CA / ACCESS Newswire / July 23, 2026 / Hone, the leader in AI-powered people development, today announced two new ways to learn in the AI era: Masterclasses led by expert AI practitioners that help leaders work through emerging AI questions, and hands-on Labs designed to develop AI skills and workflows alongside an expert.
The new experiences give HR, L&D, and Transformation teams a way to deliver timely, relevant AI development in flexible formats. The experiences are grounded in Hone's expertise helping hundreds of organizations develop leaders and navigate change in the AI era, impacting 2.5 million employees globally and counting.
"AI is moving too quickly for traditional training to keep up. Static eLearning becomes outdated almost as soon as it hits the shelf. And while live training creates valuable opportunities for feedback and application, more variation is needed beyond a set curriculum to address the questions and challenges that employees are currently facing with AI," says Linda Schwaber-Cohen, VP of Marketing at Hone. "That's why we designed these new learning experiences to evolve alongside AI and reflect how people actually build AI skills: through timely guidance, hands-on practice, and real-world application."
Masterclasses Address Today's Most Pressing AI Challenges
Hone's new Masterclasses connect leaders with expert practitioners and peers navigating similar AI challenges. Each session focuses on a timely topic and is led by an expert who applies AI to that area in their daily work. Many facilitators also advise Fortune 500 companies as fractional AI transformation consultants.
Each Masterclass begins with a 15-minute introduction in which the facilitator shares a perspective, framework, or productivity hack. Participants then bring their related questions, challenges, and concerns to the discussion, receiving guidance and real-world use cases from the facilitator while gaining insights from peers navigating similar issues.
Masterclasses are designed for leaders who have moved beyond foundational AI concepts and are now addressing more complex questions, including:
How to develop policies while AI technology continues to evolve
How to make decisions when risks and outcomes remain uncertain
How to lead teams experiencing skepticism, overwhelm, or rapid change
How to balance experimentation with responsible AI use
Labs Help Employees Build AI Skills and Workflows
Hone Labs are interactive workshops designed to help employees at all levels develop an AI skill, output, or workflow they can immediately apply at work.
Each Lab begins with demos, and learners then spend most of the time building, experimenting, and practicing with expert guidance and peer support.
Together, Masterclasses and Labs give organizations a flexible approach to AI development that blends timely conversations, expert guidance, peer learning, and hands-on application.
