How can we empower ERGs to truly drive business impact? Our recent ELE AI Practical Lab explored this critical question by delivering tangible tools for immediate use.

"We’re not just ideating here—we’re co-creating something practical that leaders can use tomorrow." - Guillermo Gutierrez, ELE DEI Lead

At our recent ELE AI Practical Lab, we tackled a challenge many HR leaders are facing right now: how to support ERGs in ways that actually move the business forward. The spotlight was on Executive Sponsors—often enthusiastic, yet unsure how to lead with impact.

So instead of engaging in unproductive discussions, we rolled up our sleeves. Together, we explored how to equip sponsors with practical playbooks, leverage AI to scale successful initiatives, and reframe DEI efforts around measurable outcomes—not just good intentions.

That spirit of action shaped the session’s flow and outcomes. Here’s what stood out:

✅ 3 Key Takeaways:

• Executive Sponsors need tools, not just titles: They’re essential to ERG success—but often underprepared for the role.

• DEI must deliver strategic outcomes: The future of funding and support hinges on clear business alignment.

• AI can help us scale support and personalize learning: Tools like Google NotebookLM unlock fast, relevant playbook creation.

🔧 3 Practical Actions:

• Build sponsor playbooks that drive real value: Include coaching prompts, success metrics, and role expectations.

• Reposition ERGs as drivers of innovation and talent: Support groups based on where they are in their maturity journey.

• Leverage AI to co-create at scale: Use tech to deliver timely, tailored resources—without burning out your teams.

If your DEI strategy needs a stronger link to business goals—or your ERG sponsors are asking, “What am I supposed to do?”—this lab offered a collaborative blueprint worth revisiting.

The session's impact was clear, with attendees sharing their enthusiasm.
