Employee engagement remains a top priority as organizations navigate continual transformation. Yet, traditional BI tools often fail to pinpoint nuanced drivers of engagement—especially when it comes to personal communication preferences and learning styles. This case study demonstrates how Scoop’s end-to-end AI workflow enabled leaders to rapidly uncover non-obvious engagement levers, unify fragmented datasets, and drive actionable improvements across departments. The results show both impressive overall sentiment and a clear path to targeted interventions—insights delivered without manual data wrangling or code.
The Scoop-powered analysis uncovered several compelling results for the HR and change management function. Engagement levels were exceptionally robust, with three out of four departments showing 100% high engagement and positive sentiment toward change initiatives. Machine learning surfaced a key area for improvement—communication and learning style misalignment—leading to clear intervention points. Notably, sentiment and engagement metrics proved resilient across most variables, but one department exhibited exclusive negative sentiment, highlighting the value of drilling down past surface-level summaries. These findings enabled tailored communication strategies and focused support where it was needed most.
Three out of four employees recorded high engagement, signaling strong organization-wide buy-in for change initiatives.
Employees with aligned or partially aligned communication and learning styles maintained 100% engagement, compared to just 50% for those not aligned.
Employees with aligned or partially aligned communication and learning styles maintained 100% engagement, compared to just 50% for those not aligned.
Each department was equally represented, confirming that insights are generalizable across organizational functions.
Half of all employees had communication preferences not aligned to learning styles, highlighting a concrete opportunity to target communications for better engagement.
Modern organizations are increasingly reliant on effective change management to remain agile. Yet, ensuring high employee engagement during ongoing change is a persistent challenge. Data on engagement, communication modes, and learning styles often resides in separate silos, making holistic analysis difficult. Traditional BI platforms simply summarize engagement by department or initiative, missing cross-cutting patterns that affect employee buy-in. Leaders know that engagement metrics alone aren’t enough—what matters is understanding how communication approaches and learning preferences intersect to drive employee sentiment and initiative success. In this context, organizations struggle with:
These limitations hinder targeted interventions and dilute the impact of change management strategies.
The analysis integrated a compact, high-density dataset tracking employee engagement, communication preferences, learning styles, sentiment on change initiatives, and key engagement metrics. This dataset comprised four records—one from each core department (Sales, Marketing, HR, and Operations)—enabling a representative, focused view of engagement dynamics and communication effectiveness across the organizational structure. Each row contained key attributes: Department, Communication Preference, Learning Style, Engagement Category, Sentiment, Change Initiative, preferred metric, tracking period, and an alignment indicator between communication approach and learning style.

This seamless AI-driven process enabled the client to progress from fragmented data to clear, actionable change management priorities—without manual coding or piecemeal analytics.
Scoop’s agentic ML automation revealed patterns invisible to typical dashboards and manual analyses. For instance, traditional BI would simply report aggregate engagement rates; in contrast, Scoop’s modeling pinpointed the decisive role of communication-learning alignment in driving engagement. Employees in the 'Aligned' or 'Partially Aligned' groups had perfect engagement records, while unaligned individuals exhibited noticeable disengagement—a pattern not obviously tied to department, communication preference, or role alone.
The system further detected that positive sentiment towards change was pervasive, with near-total predictability, except in a single department where sentiment was entirely negative. Critically, this negative outlier was not predictable using classic demographic slicing—highlighting how machine-driven pattern recognition surfaces actionable outliers that could be buried in larger datasets. The breadth of communication channels—split among in-person, video, and email—combined with diverse learning styles, also suggested the need for multi-modal and personalized communication, a nuance that static cross-tabs or summary statistics may fail to illuminate.
Finally, the model’s simplicity, and its inability to find strong engagement predictors beyond alignment, suggests either a genuinely healthy culture or the need for more granular data. Scoop’s automation pinpointed both the wins and the limitations, ensuring leaders focus their next interventions where they matter most.
Armed with Scoop’s AI-driven recommendations, the organization prioritized tailored communication strategies to address the employee groups whose preferences were not aligned with their learning styles. Immediate actions included revising upcoming change announcements to better match individual communication modes and piloting department-specific support for the team with exclusive negative sentiment.
Future steps call for additional data collection to further surface engagement drivers and ongoing measurement of sentiment shifts following targeted interventions. The objective: transform company-wide engagement into a competitive advantage, using Scoop’s automated pattern detection to refine communications in every change rollout.
