Rolls Royce and Conagra Turn to Generative AI for Next-Level HR and Talent Management
Rolls Royce and Conagra are leveraging generative AI, specifically the Galileo HR assistant, to enhance talent development and internal processes. Rolls Royce is using the AI tool to upskill its HR team and streamline knowledge sharing, allowing HR professionals to quickly generate frameworks and strategies tailored to company needs. Meanwhile, Conagra focuses on using the tool to manage talent more efficiently, standardizing processes across the company and aiding in internal succession planning. Both companies are gradually expanding AI integration while remaining cautious of security risks.
It may be early days, but HR teams at major companies are getting more confident with how generative AI can assist them with tasks like modernizing talent development strategies, upskilling staff and internal succession planning.
Rolls Royce, the aerospace and defense company ($21 billion annual turnover), and U.S. consumer goods maker Conagra ($12 billion annual turnover) have both been piloting an HR-centric generative AI bot for the last eight months.
The tool, called Galileo, was created by the Josh Bersin Company, specifically to act as an HR “copilot.” It contains thousands of articles, research, and interviews with thousands of companies and vendors amassed by the HR consultancy over 25 years, creating an extensive library of best practices, vendor information, benchmarks, case studies, and professional development tools for HR. It contains 50 pre-defined prompts to help those using it with topics like hiring, onboarding, performance management, training, building skills taxonomies, workforce planning, and implementing pay equity.
Until now, the tool has been ring-fenced around Josh Bersin Company data but last week it opened up the ability for HR teams licensing it to upload their own documents. The future goal is for Galileo to be used by organizations as their own in-house HR employee assistant that is customized to their own business and strictly protected. Just over 60 clients are currently trialing the tool.
