Impact Innovation Hub
A Sostibl Program
The leadership your organization needs for the AI era
A 6-week embedded program that develops the capabilities AI cannot replicate, assessed by expert facilitators and evidenced by a Sostibl Convergence Score™.
Two crises. One solution.
The corporate world faces an AI-driven leadership gap. Young innovators in Guinea face an economic access gap. Sostibl exists at the intersection.
Crisis 01 · Corporate
$370B+
The AI Leadership Gap
Spent yearly on corporate learning and development — much of it training the structured problem-solving that AI now automates. The real need is contextual judgment, adaptive leadership, and navigating genuine uncertainty.
Corporate leaders gain: AI-proof leadership skills tested under real constraints, in real communities.
Crisis 02 · Community
40%+
The Youth Opportunity Gap
Graduate unemployment in Guinea exceeds 40%, despite high GDP growth from mining. Young people with ambition, talent, and digital skills have no credible pathway into the global economy.
Youth innovators gain: Verified real-world experience, corporate networks, and paid work — a credible pathway in.
The Convergence
Sostibl closes both gaps at once — leadership development that produces real community outcomes, and community outcomes that produce verified leadership evidence.
The Research Behind Sostibl
Built around how leadership actually develops
Most corporate leadership training pours its budget into formal coursework and frameworks: the 10% that, according to Morgan McCall’s widely cited 70-20-10 model, actually drives leadership growth. The other 90% comes from real experience and real feedback, the part AI can’t replicate and the part most programs barely touch.
Sostibl is built around that 90%. The Guinea Challenge is the curriculum. Facilitation and peer feedback happen live, inside the experience. The framing and the Sostibl Convergence Score™ give it structure and proof.
