Behind the scenes of Cornerstone’s bold new vision to power the future-ready workforce

Theresa Damato

Chief Marketing Officer

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 realise 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 organisations 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 organisational 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 organisations , 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 organisations 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 organisations 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 organisation unite people growth with business success to create work environments that inspire growth, productivity and success for all.
