ELE advances leadership development in the flow of work through ongoing community-powered reflection and exploration. People leaders listen, question assumptions, and simplify complex talent challenges while exploring opportunities to create business value. Across years—and sometimes decades—these conversations build trust, belonging, judgment, and mutual support. Everyone can contribute, including by listening.

Session Focus: The Data-Driven Leader–KISS and Tell at Cigna
Case study: Cigna

Sometimes the best thing you can have in business is a big, fat KISS, as in, keep it simple, stupid. A popular phrase coined from a 1960 U.S. Navy project, the acronym has multiple iterations, but it's meaning — don’t overcomplicate that which does not need complexity — could be a motto by which learning leaders operate.

That said, keeping things simple doesn’t mean there isn’t a lot going on behind the proverbial wizard’s curtain. Cigna’s overall learning mission has two prongs: a focus on capability building and that employees should learn with and from each other.

Karen Koocher first shared these strategies in a <a href="https://www.chieflearningofficer.com/2013/12/16/karen-kocher-kiss-and-tell-at-cigna/">2013 CLO Magazine article</a> when she was recognized on the magazine cover as the featured story. Bala Swaminathan will give us a 2020 update and dig deeper into how Cigna is developing Data-Drive Leaders.
