Two months ago, we asked you to help shape the future of workplace learning by submitting and voting on ideas for Kineo Shorts: bite-sized, high-impact courses designed for real-life application in just 10 minutes. Thank you for your participation and votes!

We have analysed 38 new topic ideas submitted by you, and this is the roadmap we have planned for 2026: 
 

Kineo Shorts Roadmap 2026

So far, we have added the following 13 topics to our 2026 roadmap of new shorts, starting with Time Management (launching January). Here’s the full list:

• Time Management

• Workplace Burnout 

• Customer Service in Healthcare (for now, check out our Shorts ‘Deescalation Skills for Customer Service Staff’ and ‘Complaint Handling’)

• How to Deliver/Receive Feedback

• The Ageing Workforce

• Bushfire Preparedness

• A Difficult Conversation (Leadership)

• Sun Safety

• Taking Better Meeting Minutes

• Workplace Relationships

• Workplace Communication

• Chair a Meeting

• Leading with Integrity

Some topics submitted will require deeper expertise and potentially input from SMEs, and we may look to add these topics to Kineo courses in the future.

As you may know, Kineo Courses is now part of Mindtools Kineo. Some submitted topics for soft skills and leadership courses are available in the Mindtools Content Hub. The Mindtools Content Hub is an on-demand learning platform designed to help employees, managers and leaders build confidence, tackle real-world challenges, and develop essential skills. If your soft skills topics aren't listed in the 2026 roadmap and are a priority, please reach out to your CSM about purchasing Mind Tools access.  

Thank you for your submissions and helping us to shape the future of learning.
