In this HRTech Cube interview, Lefteris Ntouanoglou shares the founding vision behind Schoox and explains why traditional learning and development models have struggled to demonstrate real business impact. He outlines a fundamental shift in how organizations should approach L&D—starting with business goals such as revenue, retention, and performance, then working backward to identify the skills that drive those outcomes. Lefteris discusses how AI enables this shift by connecting skills, learning, and performance data in a single, continuous system, allowing leaders to forecast and measure ROI in real time. He also highlights the critical role learning plays in frontline retention, engagement, and productivity, supported by customer results across retail, hospitality, and manufacturing. Throughout the interview, he reinforces that learning becomes truly strategic only when it is measurable, outcome-driven, and closely aligned to how people actually work.
“Learning becomes strategic the moment you can show how building a skill moves a business metric. When that link is clear, L&D stops being a cost center and becomes a growth engine.” ~ Lefteris Ntouanoglou, Founder and CEO of Schoox
