Generative AI skills index (LAIC) and citizen developer program
LIFULL reported that 96% of employees used generative AI at work as it added a skills index to find in-house AI developers
Problem
LIFULL wanted generative AI use to lift productivity across the whole company and to link individual AI skills to business results.
Approach
LIFULL introduced LIFULL AI Compass (LAIC), which regularly monitors employees' generative AI use. Staff at level 3 or above become candidates for citizen developers. Candidates join a hands-on program called CD BOOST CAMP, apply AI to problems in their own work, and are certified if they deliver results. The company aimed for 100 certified citizen developers within fiscal 2026.
Results
Takeaway
LIFULL measured AI skill levels and used the scores to pick people for hands-on training tied to their own work.
