Fostering a Culture of Curiosity and Exploration – The AI example

In today’s rapidly evolving world, adaptability and innovation are not optional—they are essential. We believe the key to unlocking these traits lies in cultivating a culture of learning built on curiosity and exploration. 

Learning at MSCI isn’t just about attending training sessions; it’s a mindset that empowers our people to continuously evolve, both individually and collectively. Curiosity at MSCI goes beyond simply asking questions—it drives action. When our teams explore new ways of working, they’re actively shaping the future. 

A good example of our commitment to learning is how we’re embracing artificial intelligence (AI). As AI continues to transform how we work, we focus on equipping our people with the training, support, and resources they need to master these technologies to ideate, develop, and deliver innovative products, solutions and experiences for our clients. Our dedicated AI learning hub offers employees 24/7 access to AI resources, and in the first 10 months, employees explored more than 25,000 AI learning materials. Through AI Champions and targeted learning programs, our teams are encouraged to explore AI’s full potential, experimenting with new tools to enhance productivity while maintaining rigorous governance and compliance.  With over 350 AI Champions leading this transformation across MSCI, we’re seeing a surge of innovative AI ideas emerging.  

Learning here is an ongoing journey, and we encourage our people to remain curious and explore ways to grow. Whether experimenting with cutting-edge tools or refining their skills, this commitment to continuous learning keeps us adaptable and ready for the future. 

At MSCI, we don’t just learn—we explore, innovate, and grow. By fostering a culture of curiosity and exploration, we ensure that every employee has the opportunity to contribute to our collective success while shaping the future responsibly.
