Cornerstone OnDemand

Cornerstone OnDemand is a leading provider of cloud-based talent management software solutions. The company offers a comprehensive suite of products designed to help organizations recruit, train, manage, and engage their workforce.

In recent years, Cornerstone has significantly repositioned itself around the concept of "workforce agility." This shift reflects the company's recognition of the growing need for organizations to adapt quickly to changing market conditions and skill requirements.

Cornerstone's workforce agility positioning is centered around their new AI-powered platform called Cornerstone Galaxy, launched in May 2024. This platform aims to address what Cornerstone terms the "Workforce Readiness Gap" - the disparity between the pace of change in the market and the workforce's ability to adapt.

Key aspects of Cornerstone's workforce agility approach include:

1. Skills-focused development: Cornerstone Galaxy helps organizations identify skills gaps and provides personalized learning paths to close those gaps.

2. AI-powered insights: The platform leverages artificial intelligence to provide data-driven insights on workforce capabilities and potential.

3. Talent mobility: Cornerstone emphasizes internal talent development and mobility to help organizations become more adaptable.

4. Continuous learning: The platform supports ongoing skill development to keep pace with rapidly changing business needs.

5. Holistic talent management: Cornerstone Galaxy integrates learning, performance management, recruitment, and HR functions into a single, cohesive system.

Cornerstone has been actively expanding its capabilities in this area through strategic acquisitions. Notable acquisitions include SkyHive in 2024, which enhanced Cornerstone's AI-powered skills intelligence capabilities, and Talespin, which brought virtual reality training technology into the fold.
