What is LEAD?

LEAD is a comprehensive platform aimed at transforming organizational collaboration, networking, and knowledge management. It facilitates connections across the workforce by enabling employees at all levels to interact more frequently and meaningfully through various data-driven approaches, including virtual or in-person meetups, peer-to-peer connections, Sync-Ups, Check-Ins, and peer feedback mechanisms. The platform supports activities ranging from informal virtual coffee chats and watercooler discussions to structured peer check-ins and Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DE&I) group sessions.

The tool emphasizes improving employee engagement and productivity, particularly for distributed teams, by making intra-workforce networks more robust. It helps visualize collaboration patterns, identify key performers and subject matter experts using Organizational Network Analysis (ONA), and tailor development programs. LEAD aims to modernize organizational development by fostering a culture of knowledge creation, sharing, and cross-team collaboration, moving beyond traditional feedback methods with features like Pulse Surveys and engagement analysis to provide deep insights into employee sentiment and workplace wellness.
