Unite 26 | How Pearson Turned Curiosity and Conversations into Real-World Impact

Unily

The most valuable part of Unite isn’t always on the agenda. Discover how Pearson turned curiosity and conversations at Unite into three initiatives that improved visibility, experience, and alignment across 64 countries.

 

Session Overview

Ask most people why they attend a conference and they’ll point to the sessions. Kim England, VP, Digital Employee Experience & Community at Pearson, shares the Unite secret nobody talks about: the real value is human connection. Even with AI in her team’s daily work, her view is clear: “Technology accelerates ideas, but it’s human connection that really creates them.”

She brings that secret to life with a comms favorite: the iceberg. Above the water sit the sessions and product demos. Below it are the conversations, questions, and relationships, that happen organically in between.

Get the inside scoop on how her experience at Unite 25 shaped strategy for 18,000 employees. A ScreenCloud demo, a follow up message to Shell, and a hot tip on social content turned a moment of curiosity into some of Pearson’s biggest initiatives of the past year.
