Describe the creative idea

To help seniors find their calling after retirement, we wanted to use IBM's tech prowess and AI expertise. The idea was to create an algorithm that could learn to understand the unique personality traits of individuals. Then, by cross-referencing that data with professional occupation-based data, we could see what kinds of positions might be right and satisfying to those seniors. The unique aspect of the algorithm was how it identified personality traits with specificity, leading to possibilities in their future that participants might not have thought of themselves.

Describe the execution

After thousands of seniors were recruited, they answered simple questions via their voice, as Watson's AI analyzed and drew connections between a databank of occupations and characteristics, and those participants' personalities. The IBM algorithm cross-referenced occupational data with participants' traits via Watson's deep personality cognitive analytics. Touchpoints included recruitment centers, community centers and online. The youngest group we had as participants were verging on retirement, in their mid-60s, while the oldest was in his mid-90s. The platform has so far helped over 43,000 seniors find a fulfilling path they otherwise wouldn't have identified.
