How P&G’s Mentorship Framework Helps Support Its Modernization Roadmap

For Procter & Gamble, mentorship is a core component of its digital transformation strategy. 

The company has created a structure that supports digital modernization efforts, such as AI enablement, through several mentorship opportunities, including a CIO technical advisory board and upskilling relationships, according to a recent blog post. 

CIO Technical Advisory Board

P&G uses this board, composed of senior-level technologists across various backgrounds, as an internal think-tank to analyze short- and long-term tech trends. 

This group functions as a direct sounding board for the company’s chief information officer and other senior executives, helping leadership to better understand the impact of external technologies one to three years down the road. 

According to P&G, it has so far helped the company define AI governance and agentic frameworks as well as research the potential for quantum computing in the consumer goods industry.

Seba Borgnia, the board’s leader and P&G’s chief enterprise architect and engineering leader, said in a statement that this approach helps match technology to unmet business needs. 

“We use this group not just to qualify the technology itself but to inform our leaders on the art of what’s possible,” she said.
