CyberArk is a global cybersecurity company specializing in identity security and privileged access management. The company serves thousands of organizations worldwide, including many of the Fortune 500, helping them secure critical assets across on-premises, cloud, and hybrid environments. With a global presence spanning North America, EMEA, and APJ, CyberArk supports enterprises across multiple industries, including finance, healthcare, technology, and government.
CyberArk aimed to strengthen its leadership pipeline by investing in high-potential employees across multiple levels and geographies. The organization faced the challenge of designing a development process that would be both scalable and personalized, while addressing the distinct needs of different talent segments.
Specifically, CyberArk sought to move beyond traditional training approaches toward a more insight-driven development model-one that integrates assessment, coaching, and managerial alignment. The program needed to support both senior leaders and mid-level talent, ensure global consistency, and translate assessment insights into actionable development plans aligned with business priorities.
AKT partnered with CyberArk to design and implement a global Talent Assessment & Development program tailored to two distinct populations: Senior Talent and Rising Talent-mid-level high-potential employees.
At the core of the program was a structured, assessment-driven development process. All participants completed a digital personality assessment (ADEPT), providing deep insights into leadership style, work behaviors, and development areas.
For Senior Talent, the process included an additional diagnostic layer, combining career interviews, behavioral assessment, and manager input into an integrative report. This enabled a deeper understanding of leadership potential and development needs.
Each participant engaged in a one-on-one coaching session with an AKT consultant to translate assessment insights into a personalized Individual Development Plan (IDP). This was followed by a structured alignment session with the participant’s direct manager, ensuring that development goals were both meaningful and closely connected to business objectives.
To support long-term impact, AKT developed a comprehensive development ecosystem, including a structured IDP framework, a bank of development activities, and a participant guide. These tools enabled participants to take ownership of their development while maintaining alignment with organizational priorities.
The program successfully combined depth with scalability, creating a consistent global experience while addressing individual needs. As a result, CyberArk strengthened engagement among high-potential employees, enhanced development ownership, and reinforced its leadership pipeline in a dynamic and evolving business environment.
