Bottoms-up AI innovation

“We want our people to be the re-inventors of their work.”
– Jessica Skon, President & CEO, BTS Group

On a recent internal Advantage partner call, Jessica Skon, President & CEO of our sister company BTS Group, shared her global perspective—fresh from meeting with over 110 companies in just seven weeks.

Her insight? While AI dominates headlines, most clients are still confused about where to begin—and they need our help as L&D leaders to unlock real impact.

She encouraged us to lead with bottoms-up AI innovation—empowering teams to experiment, improve, and reimagine work from the ground up. This approach doesn’t wait for C-suite directives; it equips people closest to the work to drive meaningful change — smart people collectively improvising, creating breakthroughs together.

BTS and Advantage are living this internally—with individuals and teams experimenting with multiple AI tools to boost creativity, productivity, and speed.

One standout tool is Verity, the BTS AI-powered coaching platform that enables scalable, private practice for critical conversations. Tools like Verity also deliver real-time data, highlighting individual and team skill gaps. That data can drive precision coaching and targeted follow-up, replacing guesswork with insight and stretching those training budget dollars.

Bottoms-up innovation starts with trust and action. As talent leaders, we can help clients move from uncertainty to momentum—one team, one workflow at a time.

Contact us or talk to your Advantage partner about the many ways we can help your organization accelerate AI adoption and your teams integrate AI into their daily work.

Because AI isn’t just new technology. It’s transformational thinking at the heart of everything we do.
