Cornerstone OnDemand Inc. announced at its Connect Live World Tour kickoff event in Chicago the launch of Cornerstone Galaxy, an AI-powered workforce agility platform, aimed at solving the workforce readiness gap. The workforce readiness gap is created by the pace of change from innovation, market changes, and other factors becoming out of sync with a workforces' ability to adapt. The Workforce Readiness Gap Report, launched in partnership with Lighthouse Research, revealed this gap is widening with 63% of enterprise leaders responding that they don't believe their workforce is adaptable to change and 60% who believe that AI has increased the pace of workplace change.

Cornerstone seeks to solve this gap by building high-performing, future-ready people and organizations with Cornerstone Galaxy. Organizations can break down their barriers to transformation with Cornerstone Galaxy by identifying skills shortages currently undermining their ability to sustain corporate performance. According to external analyst studies and internal Cornerstone experience measures, an organization of 10,000 employees can show up to a $7 million impact on their business through workforce agility and improved retention.

Designed with AI powering all aspects of the platform, from administrative workflows to personal development experiences, Cornerstone moves beyond traditional learning and talent offerings with Cornerstone Galaxy's open and extensible platform. As part of the Cornerstone Galaxy launch, the company has also unveiled four new innovations within the platform, including: Cornerstone Immerse - the advanced immersive spatial learning solution includes an open-ended, adaptive,generative AI-based companion, dialogue-based experiences and a content subscription dedicated to extended reality environments. Cornerstone Companion - an AI-powered companion purpose-built for talent development to build plans, access knowledge, curate, and build targeted content collections and create job descriptions faster.

Cornerstone Talent Intelligence - building on its powerful analytics and AI engine, in partnership with Visier, Cornerstone Talent Intelligence provides rich, comprehensive data visualizations that connect talent processes to tangible outcomes like retention, skills acquisition, and engagement. Cornerstone Extend - expanding on hundreds of existing partners, Cornerstone Extend improves usability and access for partners to integrate and showcase their offerings and provide a single point of access for customers to tap into a marketplace of solutions.
