SCALING A CULTURE OF LEADERSHIP

What began as a small pilot has grown into a four-year partnership supporting 10,000+ Bank of America learners, becoming a scalable, embedded part of their leadership development ecosystem.

The Background
Bank of America is one of the world’s leading financial institutions with a vast, diverse workforce.

The L&D team sought scalable ways to upskill employees across levels and geographies. Known for investing in top speakers and in-person experiences, they wanted to bring that same quality to a digital, on-demand environment.

The Challenge

Bank of America’s learning and development team needed to meet a growing demand for scale and relevance. With thousands of employees across regions and roles, traditional formats couldn’t keep pace with how quickly the business and its people were evolving.
