AI 활용을 넘어, 조직의 미래를 이끄는 AX Catalyst
SK Telecom launches AX Catalyst to accelerate AI-driven workplace transformation by selecting and supporting 10 employees who have independently applied AI to solve real business challenges.
SK Telecom has introduced the AX Catalyst system to accelerate its AI-driven workplace transformation (AX). The program selects 10 employees who have independently used AI to address business challenges and provides institutional support to help their projects scale into broader organizational improvements. The initiative reflects SKT’s goal of expanding AI-driven changes from individual efforts to company-wide adoption, with the term 'Catalyst' symbolizing the program’s role in catalyzing transformation across teams.
The selection process prioritized employees who demonstrated practical experience in applying AI within their teams, rather than focusing solely on technical expertise. Candidates were evaluated through a dedicated AX competency diagnostic system and AI-driven interviews to assess their problem-solving approaches and execution plans. The final 10 were chosen after in-person interviews that gauged their potential to scale their initiatives across the organization.
Selected participants, including Yun Hye-in and Park Jae-hwan, shared how they used AI to address recurring inefficiencies in their workflows. Yun developed a web platform to streamline data consolidation and verification for profit-and-loss reporting, while Park automated weekly report generation and reminders using an internal AI development platform, incorporating personalized humor to boost engagement.
Park is now developing an AI agent to analyze approximately 10,000 rows of supply chain ESG data, automating diagnostic recommendations, participation guidance, and response tracking for partner companies. The project aims to reduce manual review burdens and enable faster, more comprehensive supply chain assessments.
