Cornerstone News ARTICLE Behind the scenes of Cornerstone’s bold new vision to power the future ready workforce Brand, schmand. This isn’t about a new logo, though you’ll notice we have one. It isn’t about a new purpose because, for over 20 years, we’ve been obsessed with helping people realize their potential and achieve extraordinary things. This is about the “never normal again” workplace and Cornerstone’s unwavering focus on blazing trails in learning and talent innovation and helping our customers meet the future, ready. The time is now (to rethink the way we work) We all know the future of work is upon us. It’s an environment of unrelenting business transformation and tectonic shifts in the way we work. And it’s a time of dramatic change for people. The lines between work and life have now been erased, and more than ever, we’re looking to our organizations for a sense of stability, community and purpose. And as humans, we’re in a mode of deep self-reflection. We’re all taking this moment to reassess our paths and reinvent who we are, who we want to be and where we want to go. This future demands more agility, resilience and alignment as priorities change, skills advance, and goals evolve. It requires a significant shift in organizational mindset as we partner together to build deeper connections with each other and rally around a shared sense of purpose and community. It requires that every one of us be more empowered to develop, grow and engage in ways that are so uniquely personal. That’s some heady stuff. And it’s why at Cornerstone, we knew we had to think differently. And that’s the genesis of not just our audacious new look but our bold new vision to power the future ready workforce, too. Rethinking how we work is about a fundamental shift to a more human approach to work, and we believe talent leaders are central to making that happen. The rise of the modern talent leader If there was ever any question of the importance of talent leaders within our organizations, that debate is now over. The dramatic disruptions in work over the past 18 months have catapulted talent leaders into the spotlight, expanding their influence across organizations and championing the shift to “back to human” models that re-focus on people. Today’s talent leaders hold the golden thread — they connect people with new growth opportunities and align business goals with a larger purpose to help their organizations achieve extraordinary success together. And for talent leaders to create inspired, aligned and successful workforces, Cornerstone knew they needed more than another disjointed piece of technology in their toolkit. We knew this was our opportunity to empower talent leaders — not just with technology iteration but with a leapfrog vision to reimagine the work environment. That new work environment is a place where everyone shares a common language of success, every individual has the flexibility to create a growth plan as unique as they are and everyone can work with more autonomy, freedom, creativity and agility than ever before. To make work a place that works for everyone. Experience how Cornerstone can help your organization unite people growth with business success to create work environments that inspire growth, productivity and success for all.

In the most meta scenario ever, we concepted, designed and launched Cornerstone Xplor with an incredibly diverse, distributed team. All working remotely, in the middle of a pandemic, during a period of intensive business transformation for our organization collectively, but also for our people — and this is the exact environment this solution intends to serve.

And we’re excited to take this journey with all of you! ARTICLE Let’s power the future ready workforce I know I’m not alone. We’ve all felt first-hand the personal and professional impact of the past 18 months. Navigating a global pandemic and the resulting “big reset” that turned our work and life environments upside down, advocating for diversity, inclusion and equality for all people, and most recently, managing through the “Great Resignation.” All these things have fundamentally changed my own life and my work. I am still trying to balance the ever-evolving needs of my family and myself as we re-emerge from the effects of the pandemic. At the same time, I work to lead, motivate and engage a team of diverse, distributed people, ensuring that we stay connected and find common ground so we can execute huge, transformational work for our customers. As a team, we’ve found new and innovative ways to maximise our productivity while staying as agile as possible. And, we are all looking to the future with excitement, as we reflect on our personal and professional goals and seek new ways to grow – both individually and together. This is the picture of our work today The dramatic changes in our lives, the tectonic shifts in the way we work, and the new things we’ve learned about ourselves and each other shine a bright light on the opportunities we have in this moment. We are all searching for new ways to get inspired and to engage and grow at work and life — in a way that aligns with our ever-changing situations, which are all so uniquely personal. And whether change is required or chosen, it’s our human nature to try to “reweave” ourselves back into our new environments. To reconnect us back to purpose, to people, to the world around us. The experience of personal exploration, development and learning have been age-old ways to help us do that. But as important as this personal growth exploration is to us as humans, we can’t forget about the essential requirements of work. Enabling our people to grow and succeed in a way that works best for them AND enabling our business to grow and transform to meet the needs of our customers and markets is not an either/or conversation. Our ability to successfully navigate at this intersection is the lynchpin to the future of work. That’s the current gap we see in the market today Experience and intelligence must go hand in hand. To navigate the future of work successfully, we need to make a fundamental shift in the way we think about talent technology. To effectively adopt “back to human” strategies and elevate the people experience we need to harness — not ignore — the value of the essential talent tools, processes, workflows, and troves of people data and intelligence we’ve worked so hard to put in place. We’ve heard this from our vast and diverse customer base, and we believe Cornerstone is in a unique position to help solve this problem. It’s why we’re so excited that our latest innovation, Cornerstone Xplor, is launching today. It’s a new solution in our portfolio, but it represents more than that. Cornerstone Xplor works at the intersection of experience and intelligence Cornerstone Xplor is the manifestation of our company’s bold vision to revolutionise how people and teams will learn, grow, connect and thrive in this new world of work. It’s a holistic people growth experience that delivers a fully integrated and hyper-personalised journey of learning, skill development, growth and career mobility for every person. Cornerstone Xplor homepage See full Cornerstone Xplor homepage preview — The Cornerstone Xplor homepage is personalised to help employees see the content you’ve promoted, the training they need to take or the content that will help them meet their skill or learning needs. But unlike traditional Learning Experience Platforms (LXP) or other similar niche applications that create “experience silos,” Cornerstone Xplor brings every element of people growth into one single destination, so every person in your organisation can: Design a personalised skill development and growth plan and a path to get there. Easily find the most engaging, relevant content that matches the skills they want to develop. Explore careers that are a fit for those skills. Connect with coaches and mentors who have mastered those skills. Join communities and explore gigs where they can practice those skills. Connect to an internal marketplace of job opportunities that align with those skills. Engage with others who share similar interests and ideas that have nothing to do with skills! Here are two examples of how Cornerstone Xplor supports a better growth experience for people: Careers Explorer in Cornerstone Xplor See full Career Explorer preview — Career Explorer empowers employees to take career management into their own hands by providing a centralised location to explore career opportunities and to receive personalised development to support career advancement.

This is where the foundational strength of Cornerstone comes in. Cornerstone Xplor harnesses the power of our industry-leading learning, skills, content and talent capabilities, the broadest, deepest people data lake and purpose-built AI Engines to fuel continuous personalisation and optimisation of the people experience while delivering new levels of depth, flexibility, scale and insight for talent leaders.

They can easily identify their experts and offer them new opportunities to grow, visualise the skills they have across the organisation, create new talent pools based on skills, and more precisely map and align the skills of their people to the evolving requirements of the business. They can auto-generate learning and skill development paths, create seamless skill and career journeys, deliver fresh, relevant, high-impact learning content — all surfaced by Cornerstone Xplor based on individual interests, goals and career aspirations — without all the heavy lifting. They can leverage Cornerstone Xplor to surface relevant learning and skills content, help people connect to mentors and experts, reveal options for both traditional and non-traditional career and skill paths, and connect people to an auto-matched “marketplace” of new jobs, gigs and projects. They can meet their people where they are with personalised learning, skill development and career growth opportunities – at scale and with more intelligence than ever — while keeping that experience tightly connected to their existing systems, workflows and essential learning and talent programs. Let’s meet this moment together How often do we REALLY get to shape the future of work? To inspire our people, help them achieve their goals and become their most extraordinary? To create a better world – the one we all aspire to live and work in? To empower our people to infuse their unique perspectives and personalities and strengths into work, and dazzle us with the results? It’s time to create this new world together. On behalf of everyone at Cornerstone, I’m excited to be on this journey with you, as we make our way together into the future of work.

BLOG POST Cornerstone Insights: Now Available to Clients When we announced Cornerstone Insights in May, we shared a broad vision for our predictive analytics strategy – a suite of Insight dashboards that applies sophisticated data science to workforce data, enabling business leaders to answer burning questions about how to use data to better recruit, train and manage top talent. Since then our product and development teams have been hard at work to bring to life our first set of Cornerstone Insights dashboards -- Compliance Control Insights, Compliance Guide Insights, and Predictive Succession Insights – which are truly one of a kind. The Compliance dashboards help companies prevent regulatory fines, potentially huge liability payouts, and loss of employee productivity resulting from failure to complete employee training in a timely fashion. Predictive Succession Insights helps organizations identify good internal candidates to efficiently fill open positions. This serves to drive engagement and retention of a company’s high performers and promote internal and upward mobility within the organization. Now available, Compliance Control and Compliance Guide Insights dashboards take care of these issues by helping clients identify and prevent non-compliance activity well before it becomes a problem. Knowing the Answer Before Getting the Question Organizations no longer need to wait until the problem occurs to understand their compliance risk and can now take corrective actions proactively. Based on the models generated by our proprietary machine learning platform, the new dashboards will help clients understand and verify the major factors that drive non-compliance, who in the organization is at risk, simulate the effect of potential changes (both long term policy and individual changes), and ultimately take corrective actions within Cornerstone Learning. Analyzing more than 30 signals related to Compliance training, our machine learning platform performs millions of computations as part of a multi-dimensional analysis to generate unique models for all organizational units and determines which factors are actually predictive of on-time completion of compliance training. The signals are pulled from various parts of the application, analyzing: User profile data; Learning object properties; Training dependencies and purposes; and Behavioral data regarding how the user, his/her team, and the company have historically completed training. Through our Insights Dashboards, our clients can access all of these signals, predictions, and analyses instantaneously and for the first time stay ahead of compliance issues. Training Compliance Risk Impacts Many Industries We’ve been receiving great feedback from the initial preview program on the value Cornerstone Insights is providing to companies that in some cases require entire teams dedicated to monitoring compliance. In highly-regulated industries such as healthcare and financial services, Cornerstone Insights offers an entire new approach to monitoring and addressing non-compliance before it becomes a risk and has a chance to impact the business. Controlling compliance risk is just one of many Insights we have planned in the coming future. We’ll be back with more updates as we continue to rollout Cornerstone Insights products to more of our clients. BLOG POST Realizing Our Potential: The Evolution of Cornerstone In 1999, Cornerstone OnDemand started with a few modest start-up trappings: a whiteboard, a shared cordless phone, a meeting room at a Santa Monica bowling alley and a bold idea. We wanted to change the world through online learning. Sixteen years later, that idea has flourished into a multi-billion dollar global technology company with products in use by more than 20 million people in nearly 200 countries. Our company's journey to this point has been marked by significant changes. Along the way, we picked up a new name. We ditched a bright orange logo. We expanded our mission beyond online learning to people development in its entirety (our suite of products now meets your company's needs at every stage of the employee lifecycle). Yet, through all of these transformations, our core belief as a company has been steadfast: Learning and development are key to empowering people to reach their potential. And today, as we announce the next progression of the Cornerstone brand, this belief in potential remains the driving force behind our new identity. Meet the New Cornerstone Starting today, we are rolling out a brand new logo to better reflect where we’ve been and where we are headed as a company. For starters, as we enter a new world of work where immediate and constant access to information is table stakes, our new logo reflects this by dropping the "OnDemand." Over the years, we have helped define the on-demand (and later Software-as-a-Service) standard as the first unified talent management software company to operate in the cloud and offer its products solely via SaaS. The company has always taken a lead and embodied innovation in this area. To reflect our evolved brand, we've also designed the new logo to emulate our original and continued vision as a company: helping people develop at every stage in their careers, both personally and professionally. We have a new tagline communicating this vision — "Realize your potential," which certainly refers to our own potential as a company, but more importantly that of our employees, partners, clients and millions of users. The new logo reflects the tagline’s focus in several unique and creative ways. First, the angle of the logo is 30 degrees, moving up and to the right to represent positive growth. We want people to grow in their careers. Second, the diamond-shape behind the "c" is a graphic representation of a wall corner, exemplifying our role as part of the foundational strength that helps you build a strong business with your human capital. Look again closely and you will notice that the "c" also appears to be wearing a graduation cap — again personifying our passion for lifelong learning. Last but not least, the initial "c" and "o" join together to create an infinity symbol, reinforcing the idea that potential is limitless. Beyond our reworked logo, we are also reimagining our color scheme and welcoming two new bright colors to our brand palette: seafoam and tech green. While we take our work seriously, we also firmly believe in having fun along the way — and our new colors represent this key aspect of our company culture (just ask any Cornerstar about our arcade and candy wall). You'll see the new Cornerstone branding rolled out across all our products, websites and offices beginning today. As we embark on our next adventure as a company, we hope you'll join us in embracing the challenges and successes ahead — realizing your potential along the way. BLOG POST Cornerstone’s Universal Profile: The New Employee Must-Have As Cornerstone OnDemand continues to deliver the types of technology enhancements and innovations that completely reimagine the way every employee gets work done, I’d like to share with you one of my favorite things from the September ’13 Product Release—the Universal Profile. Similar to a personal profile from popular social sites, Universal Profile serves as the center of an employee’s universe within the Cornerstone suite. It offers a consolidated view of personal information such as contact details, work experience, skills and expertise, and activities in the Cornerstone system. It also serves as an access point for connecting with colleagues, completing tasks, searching for subject matter experts, and giving and receiving social feedback. Putting everything your employees need to know to do their jobs in one, always-available place with real-time access not only helps everyone work smarter, but also helps organizations of any size maximize work performance and improve employee engagement. Key Features include: Employee Skills & Interests- Each employee develops rich user profiles specific to their skills, interests, resume, and career preferences. Provide Social Feedback- Everyone can share private-or-public feedback to colleagues and employees Live Stream of Activities- See everything that is going on and share ideas and content with others in a streamlined collaborative feed Integrated Across the Cornerstone Application- One of the greatest benefits of the Cornerstone organic application, is the unified connectivity to other talent management activities including learning, performance, recruiting, and collaboration. Watch this great video and hear from our very own Cornerstars on how the Universal Profile improves each employee’s level of productivity and adds even more value to each Cornerstone client.

In short, talent management is changing – less focus on process and automation, and more focus on collaboration, social feedback and interaction. Is your organization ready to adapt? Attendees also got a sneak preview of the future of Cornerstone’s global talent management platform. We shared the latest Cornerstone features and the future of where the talent management field is heading. In-depth breakout sessions followed and we explored methods by which organizations can plan to become truly high performing, including in-person guidance on how to support social feedback and performance, how to increase user adoption of talent management technology, and the benefits of effective employee onboarding.
