On June 12, our Product and Technology Solutions team did something different. They cleared their calendars, stepped away from meetings and focused entirely on solving real business challenges with AI.

St-AI-cation, our one-day AI hackathon, showed the power of what we can create when we connect and collaborate.   

The result? More than 500 AI-powered ideas - from automating repetitive work and streamlining processes to improving client experiences and accelerating innovation.   

Step back, think big
St-AI-cation started with a simple idea: step back for a few hours and think big.

Instead of asking teams to squeeze innovation between meetings, leaders encouraged them to step away from their day-to-day responsibilities and explore how AI could eliminate friction, solve problems and create more value.

“St-AI-cation proved what happens when we intentionally create space for innovation,” said Karen Barber, Executive Lead, Product Solution Design, Program Delivery and Product Operations. “Our teams seized the opportunity, responding with incredible creativity. The ideas generated this week are just the beginning of how we’ll continue transforming the way we build products and serve our clients.”
