Methodology

AI-Talent Fusion

AI-TALENT FUSION program is designed to guide organizations through a systematic, cumulative process of transformation, enhancing their capacity for innovation in an AI-driven era. The program’s overarching objective is to create a sustainable, AI-enabled innovation ecosystem within participating organizations, achieved through a carefully structured progression of learning and implementation.

In the initial months, the program focuses on establishing a solid foundation for innovation. Participants begin by diagnosing their organization’s current innovation capabilities and setting ambitious yet achievable goals. This baseline assessment serves as a launching point for the transformative journey ahead. As organizations progress through the program, they systematically build upon this foundation, with each month introducing new concepts, tools, and strategies that complement and enhance previous learnings.

The middle months of the program concentrate on developing critical capabilities and structures necessary for innovation in an AI-enabled workplace. Participants learn to leverage AI for talent management, form cross-functional teams, and create strategic capability development plans. This phase is crucial in shifting organizational mindsets and practices towards a more innovative and AI-integrated approach.

As the program advances, the focus shifts to embedding innovation deeply within the organizational culture. Participants learn to create knowledge ecosystems, design innovation-centric career pathways, and cultivate leadership skills specifically tailored to driving innovation. This cultural transformation is essential for sustaining the innovation capabilities developed earlier in the program.

In the final months, the program emphasizes measurement, refinement, and future-proofing. Participants learn to quantify the impact of their innovation initiatives, use AI-enhanced engagement strategies, and develop plans for continuous innovation improvement. This culmination ensures that the transformation initiated by the program becomes a self-sustaining process within the organization.

Throughout this journey, the program’s process-driven format ensures that participants not only gain theoretical knowledge but also implement practical changes within their organizations.

Each month builds upon the last, creating a cumulative effect where insights and skills from earlier sessions enhance the learning and application in subsequent modules. This approach allows organizations to see tangible progress and results as they move through the program

DEVELOPMENT

AI-TALENT FUSION program uses the SMART methodology developed by Dr. Adeleye.

SMART: Synergistic, Modular, AI-Augmented, Reconfigurable, Transformative

Each of these letters depicts a key element of the methodology of delivery and implementation of the program as follows:

• Synergistic: Emphasizes collaboration and interconnectedness across roles and departments
• Modular: Highlights the ability to quickly adapt and recombine skills as needed
• AI-Augmented: Focuses on leveraging AI tools to enhance human capabilities
• Reconfigurable: Stresses the ability to rapidly shift and realign talents to meet changing needs
• Transformative: Underlines the capacity for continuous evolution and innovation

This SMART methodology is implemented in a 4-phased delivery approach which covers the 12- month program duration. Each phase covers one quarter of program delivery

The 4 phases are also described by the SMART ACRONYM that in this situation portrays a complimentary meaning for each of the letters in the SMART acronym as follows:

SMART Quarter-based Content Delivery and Program Implementation

Q1 (Months 1-3): Synergistic Foundations
Q2 (Months 4-6): Multifaceted Capabilities
Q3 (Months 7-9): Adaptive Leadership
Q4 (Months 10-12): Responsive & Transformative Outcomes

All in all, the employment of the SMART definition portrays the enabling of talent to adapt and respond quickly to business needs in a work environment where the pace of change is often faster the pace of skills acquisition.

To further make the delivery more memorable to participants, we incorporate 2-word action verb themes for each quarter as follows:

Q1 (Months 1-3): Synergistic Foundations-
Diagnose and Digitize
Q2 (Months 4-6): Multifaceted Capabilities-
Cultivate and Collaborate
Q3 (Months 7-9): Adaptive Leadership-
Lead and innovate
Q4 (Months 10-12): Responsive & Transformative Outcomes-
Measure & Motivate

This layered approach, while outlining the program’s quarterly focus areas and associated actions, also emphasizes the structured progression from diagnostic groundwork to transformative results in a process-driven format.
