OAKLAND, Calif., May 7, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — The Josh Bersin Company, the world’s most trusted HR advisory firm, today announced the company’s first-ever technology marketplace agreement, partnering with leading mid-market HR platform HiBob to bring Galileo® to a broader audience, including managers with no formal HR background or with limited internal support within their organization.

‘One-click’ access to the same Galileo world-class tools and advice available to the largest enterprises in the world

The Josh Bersin Company confirmed that this move opens the door to thousands of organizations and individuals who have never had access to this level of professional HR support, furthering their mission to make work better for everyone on the planet.

The partnership grants all 4,400+ HiBob clients the option to purchase access to the AI-powered expertise of Galileo—effectively an automated HR consultant—via a single click in the company’s app marketplace.

As a result, organizations of all sizes, not just large enterprises, will now have access to platinum-level expertise on core people, management, and talent challenges. This will be particularly valuable for environments with limited or no dedicated HR capabilities. Galileo also serves as a tool for business users across various functions, offering guidance not only for immediate HR-related questions but also for shaping the future workplace of their rapidly growing companies.

Ronni Zehavi, HiBob’s CEO and Co-Founder, says:

“This partnership marks a significant moment—not just for HiBob, but for the future of HR itself. Galileo is more than just another AI tool in the box; it’s a leap forward in how organisations can think about talent, leadership, and decision-making. Galileo’s advanced reasoning capabilities and data-rich ecosystem represent a new era for people management, where technology enhances—not replaces—the human touch. At HiBob, we’ve always championed the smart use of technology to make work better for people. Collaborating with the Josh Bersin Company on this project reflects that conviction. What we’re seeing here is the beginning of a new chapter: one where data and empathy walk hand in hand to shape more resilient, thoughtful workplaces.”

Josh Bersin, global HR research analyst and CEO of The Josh Bersin Company, says:     

“As a business owner, I’ve always had enormous admiration for the fast-growing small and mid-sized companies around the world. Their management and HR challenges are every bit as complex as those of large enterprises.

“Now, through this partnership, every manager and HR professional, regardless of the organization’s size, has access to a super-powered HR business partner—unlocking sophisticated HR intelligence for environments that previously couldn’t benefit from such advanced tools.

“It’s amazing to see how quickly Galileo’s evolution has progressed. In just a few short months, we’ve moved from offering Galileo to Fortune 100 companies to now opening its doors to thousands of organizations that have never had access to this level of professional HR support before.

“Through our partnership with HiBob, managers and HR professionals will have ‘one-click’ access to the same Galileo world-class tools and advice available to the largest enterprises in the world.”

Officially launched just a year ago at the 2024 Josh Bersin Company Irresistible conference, Galileo is the AI-powered culmination of 25 years of HR expertise and insight—serving as a 24/7 digital consultant for HR teams. Today, it is used by more than 200 organizations and thousands of active users. Key innovations to date include:

LEAP Group Relaunches HumanView, a Growth Intelligence System Built to Explain Why Customers Behave the Way They Do

Reimagined from the ground up, HumanView pairs statistical modeling with expert analysts to turn millions of real-world customer signals into business decisions

LOUISVILLE, Ky., Oct. 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — LEAP Group today announced the relaunch of HumanView, its growth intelligence service. The new version has been rebuilt from the ground up and now has a dedicated home at leapgroupnetwork.com/humanview.

HumanView analyzes what customers say and do across social platforms, e-commerce sites, review platforms, search behavior and user-generated content, including signals from Reddit, TikTok, YouTube, Meta, Amazon and Walmart+ that general AI tools cannot always access. Because the data reflects unprompted, real-world behavior, it avoids the response bias built into surveys and focus groups.

The service works in three layers. HumanView captures signals at scale, decodes millions of records through validated statistical models such as regression, correlation and clustering, and then relies on experienced analysts to interpret the patterns. Clients receive clear, human-validated insights instead of another dashboard.

“Machines find the patterns. Humans find the point,” said Alan Gilleo, CEO at LEAP Group. “The first version of HumanView showed us how much customers reveal when nobody is asking them questions. This version is built to explain why they act the way they do, and to put those answers in front of everyone making decisions, from product to service to marketing.”

HumanView focuses on three areas:

Growth Intelligence: customer motivations and how people perceive a brand and its competitors

Market and Category Intelligence: product pain points, service friction, unmet needs and competitive gaps

Audience Intelligence: new segments, positioning opportunities and gaps in the market

Every model is designed and validated by data scientists and benchmarked before it informs a recommendation.

About LEAP Group
LEAP Group is a boutique marketing agency holding company with offices in Louisville, Indianapolis, Cincinnati and Chicago. Guided by the belief that brands should “Market Less. Matter More.,” LEAP gives clients access to specialized experts across its entire network. Learn more at leapgroupnetwork.com.

STEPHEN A. SMITH ADDRESSES WHITE HOUSE DINNER ATTENDANCE, REAFFIRMS COMMITMENT TO HBCUs AND PROTECTING CORPORATE INVESTMENT IN BLACK EDUCATION

NEW YORK, Oct. 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Stephen A. Smith, media mogul, New York Times bestselling author, and proud 1991 graduate of Winston-Salem State University, is addressing the public discussion surrounding his decision to attend a White House dinner with President Donald Trump, emphasizing his commitment to the long-term financial stability of Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs).

For Smith, the decision was rooted in a commitment to institutions that have educated generations of Black leaders, professionals, entrepreneurs, and public servants.

“I will always advocate for HBCUs and the students whose futures depend on them,” Smith said. “My reason for attending the White House dinner was to discuss the challenges these institutions face in securing long-term funding and to make the case that corporate America must continue to invest in them.”

Smith acknowledged federal support through the FUTURE Act while expressing concern that political tensions surrounding diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) could discourage private companies from supporting HBCUs. He maintains that these institutions deserve sustained corporate partnerships, philanthropic contributions, and public investment.

“If we truly believe in free-market capitalism, businesses should be able to support educational institutions and charitable causes without fear of criticism or repercussions,” Smith said. “HBCUs have made extraordinary contributions to this country. They deserve sustained public and private investment.”

Ashley Christopher, Esq., Founder and CEO of the HBCU Week Foundation, recognized Smith’s advocacy and decision to engage with the administration.

“Stephen A. Smith has been a powerful advocate for HBCUs, using his platform and influence to shine a national spotlight on our institutions,” expressed Christopher, “His continued support of HBCU Week helps advance our mission of connecting students with life-changing educational opportunities, and we are proud to have him as our ambassador.”

Since Smith became an HBCU Week Ambassador in 2019, the initiative has facilitated more than 15,000 on-the-spot college acceptances and raised and awarded more than $150 million in scholarships, according to the HBCU Week Foundation.

As public discussion continues, Smith is emphasizing the importance of ensuring HBCUs have the resources and partnerships needed to educate future generations and expand opportunities for students.
