The Six Secrets of High-Performing OrganizationsGWI Project Pacesetters in the Age of the Superworker

Pacesetters in the Superworker Era excel in leveraging AI and talent intelligence to create dynamic, adaptable workforces of superworkers. Though they consistently outperform peers and continue to widen the gap through innovative approaches to business, technology, and people decisions, our four-year longitudinal study – the longest and largest of its kind – found that pacesetters account for a mere 5% to 10% of companies.

Download the Pacesetters in the Superworker Era: The Six Secrets of High-Performing Organizations report to find out how to tackle workforce trends, talent needs, and employee behavior globally using the proven approaches of the world’s top-performing companies.

The report, a new addition to the game-changing Global Workforce Intelligence (GWI) Project, details six strategies pacesetters leverage to enable their ongoing success. Josh Bersin Company experts analyzed billions of datapoints for the project, provided by project partner Eightfold, and completed case studies with high-performing organizations to discover that pacesetters:

  • Leverage AI transformation for growth, not cost control
  • Maintain a core focus on continuous innovation
  • Redesign work—not simply jobs— that maximize productivity through superworkers
  • … and more.

With AI disrupting every industry and challenging business models, the potential to learn from pacesetters is immense. This report goes beyond the framework of how pacesetters are winning, offering HR and business leaders the action needed to fast-track AI transformation.

This pacesetter report outlines the six structural practices that consistently set top performers apart across major industries studied through the GWI Project—Healthcare, Consumer Banking, Consumer Packaged Goods (CPG), Pharmaceuticals, Automotive Manufacturing, and Insurance—to provide additional strategic guidance to leaders in these industries and those experiencing similar transformations and pressures in their spaces.
