REDWOOD CITY, CA — (Marketwired) — 04/05/17 — today unveiled Narrative Intelligence, the industry–s most advanced natural language processing (NLP) engine. The new technology combines modern organizational development science with machine learning and interactive visualizations to tell an organization–s story through the eyes of employees. Narrative Intelligence synthesizes open-ended feedback to expose the underlying issues the organization is facing — even issues that haven–t been directly addressed by a survey question or other feedback mechanism. Powered by Glint–s AI-for-HR technology, the system then guides leaders and managers to the right course of action that will benefit the organization, teams, and people.
“Large, complex organizations can receive hundreds of thousands of open-ended responses from employees through different channels over time. Together these comments tell a story that, up until now, has been nearly impossible to decipher — let alone to take action to improve,” said Jim Barnett, CEO and co-founder of Glint. “Previously, insights delivered by surveys and even technology platforms have been limited to the questions asked. Narrative Intelligence surfaces the underlying strengths and challenges that organizations may not think to ask about and builds a bridge to action that has never before existed.”
“Glint–s continuous commitment to enhancing Natural Language Processing (NLP) through Narrative Intelligence gives us new, consumable ways to identify and explore connections,” said Tracy Giuliani, Global Engagement at Red Hat. “It reinforces our ability to truly understand sentiment throughout the employee lifecycle.”
The underlying technology behind Narrative Intelligence can draw from feedback across the lifecycle to tell a story and tease out nuances. By aggregating the multitude of open-ended responses into a visual map of key topics, Narrative Intelligence exposes how employees feel about them and how sentiment and importance evolve over time. It then identifies connections between topics — for example, revealing a strong connection between Culture and Customer Focus for a particular team, so leaders can drill into the specific aspects of Customer Focus that people are talking about — to gain a more concrete understanding of Culture and how to take steps to improve it. The platform guides leaders to effective action leveraging the same organizational development taxonomy that powers Glint–s Action Planning system.
“Context makes all the difference between information and insight. Without context, all you have is a set of categories, word counts, and sentiment. Interesting, but frankly, not that useful,” said Goutham Kurra, co-founder and Chief Product Officer at Glint. “So we built Narrative Intelligence to extract and visualize the organizational context in which feedback is given. When combined with sentiment and demographic overlays, this context allows clear patterns to emerge, and deeper, more relevant insights to organically arise. And by connecting qualitative feedback with business outcomes, leaders and managers can more easily understand the relationship between how their people feel about their experiences and the success of their organization. Ultimately, Narrative Intelligence helps shine a clear light on immediate paths to action.”
Narrative Intelligence works with all types of people data, across the entire employee lifecycle — including engagement surveys and pulses, “always-on” feedback channels, onboarding feedback, exit interviews, 180s, and more. The new technology also maps connections between specific topics, demographics, numerical data, and business outcomes organizations track — such as performance, turnover, and customer satisfaction.
Narrative Intelligence is available immediately as part of the Glint people success platform and as a stand-alone offering that works with any platform.
