Facilitating the adoption of AI enterprise-wide for enhanced impact.
Client: Fortune 100 Company
Industry: Energy
Challenge
Generative AI is a revolutionary technology, and leadership wants their employees to take full advantage of it to realize improvements in skill development and productivity. However, there’s a lack of AI literacy along with fears regarding how the technology’s rapid evolution might impact their work and careers.
Solution
We built a curriculum to demystify AI by making it real and concrete through immersive learning experiences, an AI Community, design action workshops, and grassroots campaigns that capture and tell stories of ongoing transformation to accelerate adoption and overcome resistance. We have also begun working with this client on transforming their overall people strategy to ensure that it's fully integrated and simplified by AI.
Results
This is a recently developed program that is currently in implementation.
While 92% of Fortune 500 Companies are already using OpenAI products, this engagement represents the first truly AI-integrated People Strategy that touches every stakeholder in a Fortune 500 company, from top to bottom.
Helping a global learning and leadership development team to strengthen its strategic business impact.
Client: Fortune 100 Company
Industry: Biotechnology
Challenge
With the formation of a new HR Center of Excellence and new leadership, the Learning & Leadership Development (L&LD) team needed to integrate effectively within the new structure and shift from a reactive, instinct-driven approach to a more strategic, enterprise-focused one. At the same time, they had to continue delivering best-in-class, global learning solutions while ensuring their work was more coherent, aligned, and impactful.
Solution
Cultivate facilitated a productive day-long work session with L&LD leaders to develop a strategic plan that guides and supports their work. The strategic plan defined the team’s purpose, key strategic initiatives, enablers and challenges, along with an integrated roadmap aligned to their priorities.
After the strategic planning session, Cultivate held follow-up meetings with the L&LD team for review and refinements.
Results
The strategic plan positioned the Learning & Leadership Development (L&LD) team to drive greater impact across the organization by aligning its work with enterprise-wide priorities and critical business needs.
It provided a clear path forward for how the L&LD team will support ~15,000 global employees and leaders while strengthening their ability to operate with agility, clarity, and readiness to meet the organization's growth and future workforce demands.
Facilitating the creation of a framework and 3-year roadmap for a culture of innovation.
Client: Rapidly Growing Top 30 Pharma Company
Industry: Pharmaceuticals
Challenge
Our client’s history of success and growth was defined by its ability to out-innovate the competition. As a global organization hiring thousands of employees per year, their CEO feared that the culture may start to dilute.
They wanted an intentional strategy and supporting programs to continually foster a culture of innovation. The goal was to preserve their secret sauce as they scale and to set the company apart as a trailblazer in the industry.
Solution
We led a collaborative research process and a series of workshops to define what innovation means to our client, the supporting objectives & principles, key metrics, and a cohesive north star narrative.
After codifying the concepts, we led internal stakeholdering efforts to build enthusiasm and developed a 3-year plan to operationalize the vision.
Results
This is an active engagement, with the roadmap in implementation now.
The client repeatedly expresses appreciation for Cultivate’s ability to proactively lead the initiative with minimal direction, run with and expand upon seeds of ideas, support our recommendations with research, and deliver truly novel thinking beyond the constraints of traditional, cookie-cutter consulting models.
