If you’re new to Salesforce you might be wondering, what is Dreamforce? Well Dreamforce is the largest AI event in the world! An event that brings together the global Salesforce community every year to San Francisco (often with cool people and even cooler bands headlining). So with Dreamforce 2025 done, let's take a moment to look at what were the big themes. Salesforce’s strategic focus still firmly points toward the Agentic Enterprise. However, the keynote at this year’s Salesforce annual event DID shake the tech world with some huge updates. Between Matthew McConaughey’s opening, Metallica’s concert, and the headline partnership with OpenAI, Salesforce unveiled major Agentforce upgrades that will redefine how companies use AI agents. Here are the highlights that truly stand out: 1. Agent Script: The new Agentforce Builder Canvas introduces vibe coding — natural-language scripting where adding an “if/then” rule is as simple as describing it in plain English. All prompts can be designed, tested and debugged in the new Agentforce Builder Canvas and for 🤓 with more attachment to the code - it can be all exported into a JSON file. 2. Agentforce Voice: The new human-sounding voice agents can finally replace the annoying interactive voice responses menus - yes no more pressing # instead of 0 on your keyboard to switch the language to English! You can even customize the tone and contextual knowledge of your agent - all with vibe coding - and empower them to perform tasks and handover more difficult tickets. 3. Agentforce Grid: A new, spreadsheet-like workspace to prototype and manage AI workflows. Agent Managers can now review, iterate, and optimize agents directly in Salesforce. It integrates with Agentforce Observability, so you can monitor KPIs and performance - no raises requested (yet 😉). ✨ If your team hasn’t yet implemented last year’s Agentforce features, Blue Road Academy can help. Our Agentforce AI Specialist training equips your team to scale AI agents effectively and become an Agentic Enterprise now - not at the next Dreamforce. ✨ https://lnkd.in/esfVh5eV #Dreamforce2025 #Agentforce #AI #VibeCoding #AgenticEnterprise #Innovation #BlueRoadAcademy #FutureOfWork

Why Companies Are Moving Beyond E-Learning. E-learning often fails to create real behavior change or engagement. We all know the feeling of an early excitement peak about an online course that quickly slides into a passive and often incomplete experience. So what's wrong with e-learning and why doesn't it work? Here's what we've seen: 🚩 Passive learning - clicking through slides or watching videos. No discussion, no application, no feedback. 🚩 No link to real business goals - courses focus on knowledge, not performance or real outcomes. ROI on learning is mostly unclear. 🚩 One-size-fits-all content - generic modules that don’t fit each company’s culture, tools, or challenges. Learners can’t apply what they learn on the job. As our COO Phoebe Denham always says - learning is all about putting people first. This is why we deliver human centric learning that goes above and beyond simple e-learning and delivers real ROI. Our Workforce Solutions are designed specifically to fix these pain points. We offer: 💎 Hands-on Cloud & AI programs with measurable outcomes - participants get certified, increase adoption rates, and see a significant retention lift. 💎 Cohort-based and peer to peer learning - Live, team-based sessions create accountability and motivation. 💎 Tailored made curricula linked to your business goals - Programs are co-designed with leadership to solve today’s capability gaps. If you’re rethinking your learning strategy for 2025 — let’s talk. We can explore where your current programs are strong, where engagement drops, and how a custom in-company upskilling track could strengthen your teams without growing your budget. 👉 Book a short discovery call now: https://lnkd.in/eW-5_t2A

AI Agents are already being used to create real business value! Two iconic brands are using Salesforce Agentforce to solve very different challenges, and the outcomes are...remarkable. ✍️ reMarkable faced a surge in customer queries. Their solution? Mark - an AI Service Agent built with Agentforce. The result? They are able to automise handling of almost 10,000 customer tickets per week providing instant, accurate answers on the channel their team already uses. 🚗 The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company wanted to revolutionize its sales process. They built a Personal Shopping Assistant with Agentforce that provides personalized, real-time product recommendations and expert guidance. This isn't a chatbot. It's an AI sales agent that delivers a tailored experience to every single customer, at scale. Two different industries. Two different use cases. One powerful platform. This is the future of business operations, and the demand for professionals who can architect these solutions is exploding. Blue Road Academy's Agentforce AI Specialist Program is the only in-person training in the #Netherlands designed to give you these exact skills. You'll learn to build, customise, and deploy specialised AI agents that solve real business problems, just like reMarkable and Goodyear.

At Blue Road Academy, we often talk about our CEO, Gaspar Rodriguez being the head 🧠 & COO, Phoebe Denham being the heart 💙 of our company! These two decided to get together to share their insights into key themes like 💡The Future of Work 💡Cloud Upskilling 💡The Agentic Era of AI 💡Confidence in the Workplace 💡The Value of Classroom Based Learning And more! So today's theme: 🌐 The Future of Work is Already Here The way we work is changing at an unprecedented pace - and cloud technology is at the heart of that transformation. From enabling hybrid work to accelerating innovation, the cloud isn’t just an IT shift, it’s a business imperative. But the real differentiator isn’t only the technology itself, it’s the people who know how to use it. To future-proof organisations, businesses must: ✅ Invest in continuous upskilling for teams in cloud platforms, automation, and AI. ✅ Foster a culture of adaptability and curiosity. ✅ Build cross-functional teams that can innovate securely and at scale. Future-ready companies will be the ones that empower their people with the tools and knowledge to thrive in a cloud-driven world. 🚀 Cloud is no longer “what’s next” - it’s “what’s now.” The question is: how prepared are your teams to embrace it? 👉 Is Upskilling in your Future?!

🌟 The Power of Mentorship 🌟 One of the most valuable investments any organisation or individual can make is in mentorship. Whether formal or informal, mentorship programs create ripples of growth that extend far beyond a single conversation. Here are just a few of the benefits: ✅ Accelerated Learning: Mentees & Mentors gain real-world insights that can’t be found in textbooks or training manuals. ✅ Career Growth: Guidance from mentors helps individuals navigate challenges, identify opportunities, and build confidence. ✅ Leadership Development: Soft skills are hard to teach! By mentoring, people refine their own leadership, communication, and coaching skills. ✅ Knowledge Sharing: Organisations retain and transfer critical institutional knowledge across generations of talent. ✅ Stronger Connections: Mentorship fosters authentic relationships, leading to more engaged and resilient teams. At its core, mentorship is about unlocking potential, together. 💡 If your workplace doesn’t yet have a formal program, consider starting small. Connect with colleagues for coffee chats, encourage shadowing, or host Q&A sessions with senior leaders! Little steps can create lasting impact. 💡Or if you're interested in running a program, or being part of a mentorship program - let Blue Road Academy know by sending an email to [email protected]! 👉 Have you ever been part of a mentorship program—either as a mentor or a mentee? We'd love to hear about your experience - share your story in the comments! #Mentorship #Leadership #ProfessionalGrowth #CareerDevelopment #KnowledgeSharing #Mentors #Mentees #SoftSkillDevelopment
