The BayInCo Podcast brings together leaders, innovators, and industry experts to share insights that inspire professional growth, highlight emerging opportunities, and explore the trends shaping the future of work.

In this episode, Kailash is joined by Michel Westher, CEO at Knowly, an entrepreneur and learning technology leader focused on helping organizations create measurable impact through learning and development. Throughout his career, Michel has worked at the intersection of education, technology, and organizational transformation, helping companies turn learning into sustained behavioral change.

Together, they explore:

• Why most corporate training programs fail to create lasting impact

• The growing importance of strategic upskilling in a rapidly changing world

• How organizations can identify the skills that matter most for the future

• The critical role managers play in successful learning outcomes

• How habits, reinforcement, and follow-up drive behavior change at scale

• What the future of workplace learning may look like

The conversation highlights a fundamental challenge facing modern organizations: knowledge alone is not enough. Sustainable learning requires systems, leadership engagement, continuous reinforcement, and a culture that supports behavioral change. Michel shares practical perspectives on how organizations can move beyond isolated training events and build learning environments that deliver measurable business results.
