Scaling AI Proficiency Across a Diverse Workforce
The AI: ROI Conference
Okta reached 98% certified AI proficiency across 6,000+ employees in just 75 days – a strategic balance of meeting the power users where they were and bringing everyone else up to their level.

How to build an entire team of AI experts
On April 30 from 2 - 3 pm ET, Okta’s Cyndi Walker is joining us in conversation to share how her team pulled it off. She’ll give you her roadmap for turning pockets of experimentation into company-wide usage through questions like:
- How did Okta move from scattered AI experiments to a company-wide proficiency?
- How did you adapt your AI enablement approach to support the power users and the novices equally?
- How do you equip middle managers to drive AI adoption within their own teams?
- What's next after proficiency and how are you driving the company to greater value with AI?
- What advice do you have for leaders who want to raise the floor for everyone without capping the more advanced AI talent?
She’s taking your questions too – so bring your biggest challenges to workshop live.
