Case Study: Council of Canadian Innovators scales board governance training with Disco AI

How CCI Scaled Governance Education for 300+ Learners with Disco

The Council of Canadian Innovators (CCI), an association serving over 165 Canadian tech companies, faced the challenge of scaling its high-touch Innovation Governance Program. With a small two-person team, CCI was straining under a patchwork of separate systems for communications, registration, and content, making manual processes unsustainable as the program grew to over 1,000 alumni.

By implementing the Disco platform, CCI unified its learner experience into a single, community-powered hub. This solution automated onboarding, segmented content access, and centralized communications and events. The results were significant operational efficiency, allowing the two-person team to scale to 300+ annual learners and 1,200+ alumni across five programs and four summits. Disco’s AI tools also drastically reduced communication and administrative tasks, enabling sustainable growth.
