Thought leadership is an outcome of years of experience and expertise, of having seen and solved real-life client challenges, and having foreseen the future of the industry today. An epithet rightfully deserved by Amit Gautam, Director of UpsideLMS, a leading provider of learn-tech solutions.

Amit has been featured on eLearning Industry’s "Editors' Choice: Top 10 Thought Leaders" list. His article on AI, titled "Role of Artificial Intelligence in Shaping the Future Workforce" has also been recognized as one of the Top 50 Most Popular eLearning Industry Articles for 2019.

Handpicked by eLearning Industry’s editors, the thought leader as well as the article selection was based on the following parameters:

• well-researched and interesting topics
• out-of-the-box viewpoints
• clear, simple and well-structured messaging
• fresh and engaging content

Speaking about Amit’s article, titled "Why Businesses Must Prioritize Learning And Development Post-Brexit", which earned him the thought-leader tag, Christopher Pappas, Founder of eLearning Industry’s Network, concludes, "Amit Gautam has published his work many times on eLearning Industry’s website. He is one of the greatest, most experienced eLearning professionals and bears a background as a client consultant. Thus, it makes absolute sense that he managed to create a very attractive piece deliberating why businesses have to make L&D a priority post-Brexit. It is certainly a very interesting approach to such a social issue, as the whole world is waiting for UK businesses to take action to face the post-Brexit economy. Is the answer to make learning and development a priority, then? Obviously, this is a question that many eLearning professionals can relate to, and this is why it has been one of our top selections for the year!"
