It’s a common story in the corporate world: Most companies never reach their full potential because they struggle to execute strategy effectively. Too often, strategy loses meaning as it moves down the organization from leadership to the individual contributors carrying out the work, diluted by competing priorities and disconnected from daily tasks.

Since founding Humancore, we've focused our efforts on supporting managers—first with our core platform, and most recently with our Multiplayer AI Advisor. The response has been extraordinary: managers finally have support from AI that understands relationships, context, and working styles.

But manager support was always just one piece of the puzzle.

Recent McKinsey research on "Strategy Champions" reveals the scope of this challenge: only 21% of executives report their strategies meet foundational quality standards—a 40% decline from fifteen years ago—while 42% of leaders struggle to achieve their desired strategic impact. The research indicates that the biggest gap between winners and stragglers isn't in strategy design, but in the critical phase of translating strategic choices into organizational action. According to the study, the highest-performing companies excel at "ensuring that the right talent is fully empowered and engaged" on strategic decisions. These organizations understand that "well-designed and mobilized strategies create potential; execution captures it."

The time has finally come for your company’s executors to have the support they deserve.

Introducing the Advisor for the Individual Contributor

Today, we're excited to launch our Individual Contributor Advisor, extending the same advanced personalization, contextual guidance, and real-time coaching directly to every person in your organization. The platform addresses the full spectrum of IC challenges: motivation and purpose, well-being, workplace belonging, role clarity, team dynamics, performance agility, individual development, and technology adoption.

For CHROs, this represents more than just expanded AI support. It's a strategic enablement platform that helps your people drive measurable outcomes across the company’s most critical priorities.

Accelerating Transformation and Consistency

Your IC Advisor helps employees navigate the real-world challenges and opportunities we all face on a daily basis – the ones that have a direct impact on the success of the organization. Regardless of your organization’s size, industry or geography, the platform provides personalized guidance that translates strategic initiatives into daily behaviors and habits.

As importantly, it creates support for all employees, including those who are often missed by corporate learning and development initiatives. One intelligent platform with universal access to expertise, regardless of geography or role, tailored to the unique style and role of each individual contributor, tied tightly to the cultural DNA of your organization.

Measurable Operational Impact

The platform delivers immediate ROI through faster onboarding and reduced time-to-proficiency. New hires receive just-in-time guidance tailored to their role and learning style, while existing employees get real-time guidance that improves decision-making and reduces performance drag.

For managers, this means significantly less time spent on time-consuming micro-support moments as ICs become more self-sufficient and confident in handling workplace challenges independently.

From Strategy to Impact: Our Evolved Framework

This isn't just a product expansion—it's the fulfillment of Humancore's strategic vision. When managers and ICs alike have AI-powered support, companies can finally bridge the gap between strategy and execution at every level.

The framework for this vision centers on three core capabilities:

Align: Ground each person in the company’s strategic priorities, translate goals into personal meaning, and reinforce values through daily interactions.

Execute: Provide role-specific, real-time guidance that improves decision-making, reduces time-to-performance, and drives clarity in moments that matter.

Adapt: Enable organizational agility by surfacing patterns from the ground up and closing the feedback loop between leadership intent and execution reality.

Together, our manager and IC Advisors create a shared system of support that activates your most powerful lever—your people. Every recommendation is grounded in decades of research across organizational psychology, change management, and behavioral design—delivered in the flow of work when it's needed most.

The result: Greater organizational alignment, stronger execution, and faster impact, along with better customer service and quality outcomes as employees handle escalations and complex situations more effectively. All this, not through replacing human judgment, but by empowering employees at every level to be more informed, contextual, and strategic.

See What's Possible

The age of the overwhelmed manager and under-supported employee is ending. The era of AI-powered execution, where strategy translates seamlessly into action and impact, is just beginning.
