Spring Catalyst tackles AI workforce gap with training and team optimization
Spring Catalyst, a business team optimization company, has launched to help organizations navigate AI adoption, workplace transformation, and team collaboration.
The company provides structured training, professional development programs, and customized workshops that integrate AI literacy with workforce skill-building.
Bridging team optimization and AI training
A recent Multiverse report highlights a growing gap between technology investment and workforce development. While 69% of FTSE 100 firms prioritize technology, only 7% focus on training and upskilling employees. Euan Blair, CEO of Multiverse, stated, "What we can see in the data is that investment in technology is skyrocketing but skills and training has stagnated."
The disconnect can potentially leading to workplace tensions, as businesses implement AI without preparing employees to work alongside it effectively.
Spring Catalyst aims to close this gap by providing structured training and coaching that enhances both human-to-human collaboration and human-machine partnerships. The company delivers team workshops designed to align business strategy with collaboration, using design thinking to encourage problem-solving. It also provides executive coaching focused on leadership presence and communication in AI-enabled workplaces.
For organizations prioritizing career development, Spring Catalyst develops structured growth plans that integrate AI training with professional advancement, particularly for businesses managing return-to-office, hybrid, and remote work models. The company also designs and manages corporate events, including executive offsites, bootcamps, and industry summits, to strengthen stakeholder engagement and align teams with strategic objectives.
Elizabeth Zaborowska, Founder and CEO of Spring Catalyst, highlighted the need for practical AI literacy:
“We facilitate engaging experiences for individuals and groups to unleash their creative ideation, human-to-human communication and teamwork while honing human-machine partnership skills, all in the context of achieving defined business goals. With generative AI reshaping workplaces and agentic AI going mainstream, our mission is to bridge business team optimization and AI literacy.”
Adapting to workplace shifts and AI uncertainty
Spring Catalyst’s programs address the broader challenges of AI adoption and workforce transformation. Many professionals struggle with AI integration, and businesses are facing resistance from employees who feel unprepared for rapid technological changes.
Shezmeen Hudani, VP of Marketing at Brave, described the impact of a recent Spring Catalyst workshop:
"The creative ideation workshop Spring Catalyst facilitated for our team brought together our cross-functional, globally distributed team of executives, managers, and individual contributors in a way that fostered genuine connection while producing actionable results. We left energized both personally and professionally, with a roadmap of marketing initiatives we were excited to implement."
Manoj Saxena, Founder and CEO of Responsible AI Institute and Trustwise, emphasized the importance of AI-focused team training:
"The Trustwise Summit organized by this team showcased exceptional attention to detail and fostered meaningful dialogue. Spring Catalyst builds on my years of positive experiences with Liz’s teams at Bhava Communications. Their focus on the human element while helping organizations adopt AI responsibly aligns perfectly with our mission at the Responsible AI Institute ensuring AI enhances rather than diminishes human potential."
